It is noted that the Planned Limits of Development (PLD) associated with Oakham has been extended so that the majority of the site which benefits from planning permission reference 2022/0336/MAO is now included within the PLD. However, a portion of the north westernmost part of the site is excluded. It is considered that the PLD should be amended to ensure it accurately reflects the application site associated with the above-mentioned permission.

Any increase in the requirement over and above 10% will inevitably have an impact on the amount of developable land available to meet the County’s development needs. With regard to housing development, it is noted that a key element of national planning policy remains the Government’s objective of significantly boosting the supply of homes (National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), December 2023, paragraph 60). Any requirement for in excess of 10% BNG will reduce the County’s ability respond to this requirement of national policy.
