Objection Sites and Site Allocation Policy Representations

The Council has held 3 consultations on Objection Sites. These are sites which were suggested in representations made against the Council's submission draft Development Plan Documents (DPDs) and Area Action Plans (AAPs) (January 2006). These representations suggested sites for development which were not allocated in the Council's submission draft DPDs and AAPs.

The government's plan making regulations require the Council to advertise all such sites, as well as any changes which are suggested to the sites which the Council has proposed for development in its submission draft DPDs and AAPs.

The second Objection Sites consultation included 148 sites, which were raised in relation to the Site Specific Policies DPD.

Site Allocation Policy Representations Consultation, June-July 2006

At the same time as the second Objection Sites consultation, objections which sought changes to the sites allocated for development in the Council's submission draft documents were also advertised. These were called "Site Allocation Policy Representations". An example of such a representation would be one seeking a higher density of development within the boundary of a site already suggested by the Council (resulting in a greater number of dwellings), or seeking a different mix of land uses within the site.

Site Specific Policies DPD: Objection Sites 2 Consultation, June - July 2007

A further consultation on Objection Sites relating to the Site Specific Policies DPD was held in June - July 2007. The consultation included the following Objection Sites:

Major sites previously advertised in March 2006 in relation to the Core Strategy DPD, but which also appear in relation to policies in the Site Specific Policies DPD. These were re-advertised to ensure the Council had properly complied with the necessary regulations, because it was not made clear that these sites would also be considered at the Site Specific Policies DPD Examination.
Sites advertised in June 2006 in relation to the Site Specific Policies DPD where the Objection Site was advertised incorrectly.
Omitted sites. The Council also identified a small number of additional sites, omitted from the June 2006 consultation, that needed to be advertised as they are seeking an allocation for development.
