Policy DEN3: Strategic Gaps

Policy DEN3 is a policy which severely restricts the potential for sustainable development to come forward, in the context of a district which has such a significant portion of its land in the AONB and therefore where meeting development needs is already challenging. The next iteration of the Core Strategy will need to deal with significantly increased housing need and whilst justification may exist for some parts of the identified strategic gaps it is unlikely that their full outlined scale will be justified. In any event the Strategic Gaps would be better considered through the review of the Core Strategy in the context of the increased housing need.
