Tracked Version of Core Strategy, November 2012 - Selby District ...

Selby District Submission Draft Core Strategy – May 2011
___________________________________________________________________
5.22 All proposals for housing allocations, within or outside current
Development Limits of settlements, other than exception sites for
100% affordable housing in villages (of less than 3,000 population)
(PC 6.36) will be brought forward through specific allocations in a
Site Allocations DPD and in accordance with Policy CP3 (Managing
Housing Land Supply) set out later in this chapter (PC5.18). A
review of current Development Limits will be undertaken in the case
of the Local Service Centres and Designated Service Villages
wherever more detailed investigation through the Site Allocations
DPD reveals a lack of deliverable sites within them. In certain cases
where the settlement is within or adjoining Green Belt a localised
review of that boundary may also be undertaken in accordance with
Policy CPXX (Green Belt) (PC5.19).
5.23 The boundaries of Strategic Countryside Gaps may also be
reviewed. However, because of the limited size of the Countryside
Gaps and their sensitive nature any scope for amendment is likely to
be limited.

5.24 Policy CP2 sets out the indicative target for new housing delivery for
individual settlements or groups of settlements, having regard to the
principles set out above. It also translates this figure into a target
need for new housing allocations, after taking account of the amount
of deliverable commitments in each area 9 (PC5.20) The targets are
minimum requirements. (PC6.37) (More detail on the evidence base
available and the analysis undertaken is provided in a background
paper 10 .)
5.25 The selection of housing allocations within a Site Allocations Local
Plan DPD, or other site specific proposals documents, will have
regard to:
• the annual housing requirement;
• the sequential priorities listed in Policy CP1
• the level of deliverable commitments in each settlement
• the relative suitability and deliverability of the site taking into
account an appraisal of its relative sustainability compared with
potential alternatives.
5.26 Where necessary the Council will explore pro-active measures such
as negotiating with landowners, and Compulsory Purchase Order
9 The figures in the Policy CP2 have been rounded to reflect the strategic nature of the policy. (PC5.20)
