Allocation, Housing Numbers and Timescale
2.8.1 The Adopted Selby District Local Plan (SDLP) sets out that the
application site sits within a Phase 2 allocation. SHB/1(B) Low Street,
Sherburn in Elmet, with a total area of 39.30ha and at the time of
adoption an indicative capacity of 900+ dwellings as set out in Policy
H2 of the Local Plan.
2.8.2 Local Plan Housing figures were originally based on the County
Structure Plan and planned for a higher rate of development than
current RSS targets. The Local Plan took consideration of this planned
growth and set a target of 600 dwellings per annum (dpa) and allocated
land accordingly.
2.8.3 The subsequent RSS proposed an annual target of 440 dpa, much
lower than the 600 dpa proposed at the start of the Local Plan in 2005.
However the Local Plan Phase 2 housing allocations remain based on
a higher requirement.
