Our Regulation 18 submissions made several direct comments in respect of Strategic Objectives 7 and 9, relating to high quality design and effective use of land and natural resources. We do not repeat our comments, however we note that St George’s Barracks remains to be one of, if not the largest, brownfield sites which can deliver high quality residential led development

The primary issue we raise in respect of the draft spatial strategy is that it ignores the Government’s well-versed and
acknowledged policy of brownfield first. The draft Rutland plan fails in this regard.

the DIO express strong concerns with the decision to delay the delivery of homes on the County’s largest brownfield opportunity by removing the site-specific Policy for St George’s Barracks, and amalgamation with the Woolfox site under an opportunity area policy.

We support the proposed policy wording in respect of density which sets a minimum of 25 dwellings per hectare but reiterate concern that the Housing Allocations Policy (H1) adopts a standard density of 30 dwellings per hectare for the spatial distribution of homes

Whilst the DIO are supportive of the delivery of accessible
new homes, we do not support the inclusion of the Policy within the Local Plan, as it remains an optional requirement under the current Building Regulations
