Representation Summary:

It is inappropriate to include previously unidentified large sites (6 dwellings and over) as contributing towards "Potential new sites" prior to adoption of the Plan as the Council consider the target of 5700 as a minimum. Any sites granted consent prior to the Plans adoption are clearly windfall sites that fall within this unidentified category and therefore should be viewed as such and not used to reduce the Councils minimum target. This approach should also apply to developments of less than 6 dwellings and "Exemption sites"
