This site has extant full planning permission (No. HS/FA/12/00187) for 10 dwellings and subject to a planning obligation requiring an index linked financial contribution to be paid for management of a Local Nature Reserve. There is no requirement however, for affordable housing/submission of a transport report.

It is questionable whether it is appropriate to include as a housing 'allocation' in the Plan as it is now a housing 'commitment' given it has extant planning permission. This should be acknowledged in paragraph 6.127.

In light of the extant planning permission, parts (i) and (iv) of the draft Policy should be deleted.
