The townhas experienced significant housebuilding in the past, but since 1999further development has been restricted due to issues at the WasteWater Treatment Plant. The Local Plan identifies sites for housingdevelopment largely to meet local needs which will be able to comeforward when work is completed at the WWTP which creates capacityfor further development.2. Land previously identified to contribute towards meeting localemployment needs has not come forward.
