We support the broad principles of Policy SP2 as drafted, and the role of Cottingley as a Local Service Centre.

We however have significant concern over the draft Local Plan’s soundness in reference to the identified need to “meet the needs of the district. It is not considered that significant deviation from the Standard Methodology is likely to result in a Local Plan which will identify and allocate sufficient land to meet local need.

We do not propose amendments to Draft Policy SP2, however have made recommendation in relation to the local housing need and other policies below, to ensure their compliance with the Spatial Priorities.
