Homes for Scotland (CLDP041j) Policy SC1 needs to be more positive and should reflect the wording used in SPP (CD001). It is the Councils obligation to ensure there is a minimum 5 year effective housing land supply and the position should be reviewed annually to ensure there is always a 5 year effective housing land supply.
GVA James Barr for Diageo Scotland Ltd. (CLDP061a) Support the allocation of the site at Carsebridge in the LDP. The site is allocated for a mix of residential and industrial/business development through Proposals H03 Carsebridge North, H04 Carsebridge and B03 Carsebridge South.
Modifications sought by those submitting representations:
Homes for Scotland (CLDP041j) Request that Policy SC1 is reworded to This policy will ensure the maintenance of an effective housing land supply. Remove the word help from the second paragraph. The last sentence should be amended to The Council will review the housing land supply annually through the Housing Land Audit, and review the calculation of the overall housing land requirement as necessary..
Summary of responses (including reasons) by Planning Authority:
Homes for Scotland (CLDP041j) Policy SC1 'Maintaining a Housing Land Supply', is considered to be a positively worded Policy that seeks to secure a 5 year land supply is maintained at all times throughout the term of the LDP.
A generous amount of land is allocated for housing to meet the strategic housing requirement in Clackmannanshire. Table 3 (page 34) indicates the supply planned for at this stage. Delivery will be monitored through the annual housing land audit process during the term of the LDP. No changes are therefore sought to the LDP.
