This proposal is for a 6 new dwellings on a site which adjoins the settlement boundary which are proposed market housing. The proposal is not considered to conform to the criteria outlined in the Interim Housing Land Supply Policy. The layout is considered contrived resulting in a dense and overdeveloped site contrary to the criterion E. A good layout and design is also a provision of policy CS9 of the Core Strategy. The development is also considered contrary to criterion J which states that development should be safe and accessible.
