Call for Sites: Assessment Form
The Council is preparing a new Local Plan for the District which will cover development up to the year 2035.
As part of the evidence base we are seeking to identify sites for housing, employment, recreation, mixed use
and for gypsies, travellers and showpeople. You do not need to own the land, however, if you are submitting
land for inclusion within the assessment, it must meet the following criteria:
Housing sites:
~ must be well related to the existing built form of a town or village;
~ must be able to deliver at least 5 dwellings.
Employment sites must have a minimum area of 0.25 hectares or at least 500m sq. of floor space
within a service centre. Smaller sites will be considered in service villages and below.
Gypsy, traveller and showpeople sites which can accommodate up to 20 pitches.
Inclusion of sites within the assessment does not mean that development will be suitable or that planning
permission would be granted, but it does demonstrate availability.
Please complete a separate form for each site.
Return this form using the FREEPOST envelope provided to reach us no later than
Friday 4 September 2015
