Policy COH/2-3: Use of brownfield sites for housing

a) SCDC considers that this policy would seem to repeat the site-specific policies for these three sites and it is not sure what the policy adds to the Plan?

b)The total housing potential in the table (page 41) is 24. If Durman and Watson's site come forward first with a total of 15 then is it the intention of the Plan that the Co-op site cannot provide any housing as it would be in excess of the 15 total specified in the policy.

c)As this is a policy allocating sites, it is unusual for two figures to be identified in a policy to show the location of any sites. Neither maps shows clearly the boundary of the three sites and are at too small a scale. If Figure 4 is the Site Specific Policies Map for the Plan then we recommend this should be referred to in the policy.
