We comment on problems with the preferred sites for housing with a SL suffix in the SNVCHAP reg. 18 draft. It would appear that SL in this context stands for “settlement limit (extensions)”, as they are for sites smaller than 12 dwellings, as outlined in ‘the Introduction and Background’ section under ‘Village Clusters’. However, their status is not fully explained, other than an implication that they are not “new allocations” as they are covered under a separate point.
it is clear that the SNVCHAP preferred sites with a SL suffix should not be described as ‘windfall sites’ or counting towards the GNLP’s ‘windfall allowance’ as they are all sites which have clearly been identified for housing in the development plan i.e. the SNVCHAP. Therefore, either these sites should be removed from the SNVCHAP or they should be re-designated as allocated sites, and thus count towards the 1,200 houses allocated in the SNVCHAP.
