Neighbourhood Plan Policy GB3 - Land at School Road (The Triangle)

12.4 hectares of land at School Road, known as The Triangle and identified on the Policies Map, is allocated for the following development:

i) up to 150 dwellings (including 30% affordable housing) or any higher number of dwellings included in any future adopted development brief for the site pursuant to Policy RV18 of the Rural Vision Local Plan Document;

ii) community facilities that could include the uses identified in Policy GB7:

iii) at least 1.1 hectares of land for the expansion of the primary school; and

iv) recreational open space and children’s play.

Development of the site should be undertaken in accordance with the Concept Diagram (Figure 12) and the Development Principles set out in this Plan or any future development brief for the site pursuant to Policy RV 18 of the Rural Vision 2031 Local Plan document.

Development proposals should incorporate measures to manage traffic safety and speeds on Mill Road and the provision of safe crossing points on School Road, Mill Road and the A143 (The Street) to enable safe and sustainable travel to the wider public rights of way network and village facilities.

Housing proposals should provide a mix of sizes and types in accordance with the most up-to-date evidence on objectively-assessed housing needs.

The affordable housing provision should be designed so that it is ‘tenure blind’ (so that it is indistinguishable from open market housing), be distributed around the site and not concentrated in any one area.

Proposals that include an element of self-build housing will be supported.
