Object to the omission of any proposed housing allocations in Whissendine and specifically the omission of the MPG site at Stapleford Road.
There are no technical, physical or environmental reasons that would prevent the development of the site. The site is deliverable and achievable and would help sustain the existing facilities in Whissendine as well as contributing to a stronger resident population in the village, supporting the school and local shops. Whissendine is an attractive location that would meet the demand for both market housing and affordable homes.
The village was considered suitable to accommodate development previously by virtue of the draft allocation in the withdrawn plan, and the grant of planning permission on phase 1. As such, there is an oven-ready site capable of being allocated which can demonstrate that it is both technically feasible and deliverable and which could help deliver new homes early in the plan period.

Comments noted. The suitability of sites for allocation is considered under policy H1
