Please find below the table of representations made during the consultation stages of the REGULATION 14 Draft Neighbourhood Plan

Representations received in response to the Pre-submission consultation on the Slaugham Neighbourhood Plan, have highlighted concern with the allocation of housing sites in the Parish.

The District Plan confirms the preparation of Neighbourhood Plans is part of the overall strategy for the delivery of housing across the District. It sets out a spatial framework for Parishes preparing neighbourhood plans and identifies a minimum number of houses required in a Parish over the Plan period. It is acknowledged the District Plan does not require Slaugham to identify further growth on top of windfall growth.

The Parish Council have positively prepared the Slaugham Neighbourhood, which is supported by a robust evidence base, and on balance wish to support modest growth in the Parish over the life time of the Plan.  This approach is supported by MSDC for two reasons:

  1. The District Plan’s housing numbers are minima, and therefore exceeding those is regarded as positive planning; and
  2. The intention of the Parish to allocate a total of 65 units at St Martins Close, Handcross will make a valuable contribution to meeting local housing need, in a relatively sustainable location.
