Policy DIM2: Development Boundaries
Gladman consider that the plan would benefit from a more flexible approach to development on its boundaries, given the context of the overall supply of housing planned for (discussed below) and the incoming change in housing needs for Rother through the implementation of the standard methodology. To this end in order for the policy to be found sound we believe that the final paragraph of the policy should be deleted and replaced with a criteria based policy for edge of settlement development. In this regard we would recommend a policy similar to that contained within the emerging Ashford Local Plan, which has been the subject of main modifications consultation. We attach a copy of draft policy HOU5 from the Ashford Local Plan to this letter.
