Representation ID: 17173

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Jones Homes (Yorkshire) Limited

Agent: Savills (UK) Ltd

Representation Summary:

Housing Distribution - Cottingley

Based on the Core Strategy and the Standard Methodology, we do not consider that any aspiration below 41,400 (the Standard Methodology) homes is appropriate.

If the housing aspiration is raised to the required 41,400, and distributed in the same manner as the draft local plan (therefore with 37,351 on allocated sites), Local Service Centres would deliver 1,681 homes, with 187 in Cottingley.

Recommendation 8: The housing delivery target set out at Policy SP8 needs to be increased significantly to meet the requirements of the Standard Method.

Recommendation 10: That the specific housing site allocations as identified at Schedule 1 and Paragraph D2 of Policy SP8 should increase the housing allocation for Cottingley to at least 187, with at least 1,681 allocated across all Local Service Centres.
