Question whether the Council have fully explored the benefits of maximising the full extent of field parcels. The Sustainability Appraisal highlights the need to ensure that benefits are maximised with ongoing scrutiny of the appropriate growth quantum.

Sustainability Appraisal also raises the possibility of expanding SPO2. It is noted that this could be of a strategic nature and at odds with the Plan, however it raises the question why this site has not been explored over SPO1 due to its sustainable nature and location close to the train station?

Now 4 sites in Spooner Row. Are the Council satisfied with allocating 4 smaller sites, as opposed to fewer larger sites, as being appropriate?

It is appreciated that the intention is to allocate less that strategic sites, when a settlement is taking 80 new dwellings is the Council satisfied that this total meets the Objectives of the Plan?
