Previously Developed Land

Johnson Mowat supports the Council in making as much use as possible of previously developed land (PDL) in accordance with NPPF.

However, we consider that it is important to ensure that the prioritisation of PDL does not compromise the delivery of sufficient homes in sustainable locations to meet identified needs.

We therefore query whether the proportions indicated within part H of the draft Policy are realistic and achievable, particularly given the assumptions relating to density and demand/values/viability that this will depend upon to deliver large numbers of dwellings within the inner urban and post-industrial areas.

It is therefore considered that the proportions indicated are presented as targets with a degree of flexibility.
