Housing Considerations

Charlbury Neighbourhood Forum
Potential Development Sites
 
As part of the preparation of the Neighbourhood Development Plan, we have to assess the suitability of potential development sites against a number of planning criteria, depending on the type of development proposed. 
 
We’d like to know what local residents think is important in carrying out those assessments.  Please therefore read through the accompanying List of Considerations, then rank them in the order you think most important – they are deliberately set out randomly. 
 
Please also add separately in the box provided any other considerations you think we should look at in assessing a site’s suitability.
 
There is one deliberate omission – whether a proposal would result in the loss of an important open space.  This is because we will also be considering a large number of open sites for designation as Local Green Space, arising from the answers to questions in the survey carried out last year.  That process is under way and is subject to particular criteria set out by the government.  There will be another opportunity to comment on the sites proposed when the draft Plan is published – fingers crossed – later this year.
 
 If you have any questions then please email us on charlburynp@gmail.com
