Representation Summary:

The Plan, as drafted, does not identify a strong supply of available sites that are deliverable within the early part of the Plan. The SGO is likely based upon some substantial allocations, and as the Plan is progressed the SGO should include sufficient flexibility to include alternative options which can deliver housing should the larger strategic sites fail to come forward within the Plan period. Given that blended SGO approach we hold substantial reservations that a SGO that is significantly reliant upon large brownfield sites is deliverable, particularly in the early stages of the Plan, where planning permissions are required.
