[3.14.01] We want to support the delivery of housing to meet identified shortages, and employment and retail space that supports the economy of the Lake District.
We will support the development of allocated land (Table 2) where its use reflects the purposes of the allocation and where:
[3.14.04] The list of allocated sites are provided in Table 2, and can be viewed along with the site-specific requirements identified in the policy above in Section 4 and on the interactive policies map.
[3.14.05] Policy 14 supports the allocation of sites for housing, employment and mixed use developments across the Lake District. The purpose of our land allocations is to identify specific areas of land where we are confident in supporting development for particular purposes. For example, to ensure a supply of land to deliver housing. Allocating land increases certainty on where development can take place which benefits communities, landowners and developers. It significantly increases certainty over how planning decisions will be made on those sites.
[3.14.06] If a development proposal comes forward on a site which has not been allocated, this will be considered as a windfall site and the proposal will be considered against policies within the Local Plan.
[3.14.02] Allocating land increases certainty about where development can take place. This benefits communities, landowners and developers alike. It significantly increases certainty over how planning decisions will be made on those sites. Applying for planning permission is seen by some developers as unpredictable and uncertain, and may prevent developers from bringing proposals forward due to the risk of uncertainty in securing permission. By allocating land for specific uses it reduces the uncertainty by establishing the principle of use, leaving only details of the proposal to be agreed.
[3.14.03] The allocations have been identified specifically to contribute towards meeting known needs and demands within the Lake District. We have not worked to minimum ‘targets’ for allocating land in specific locations. This approach would have potentially compromised our commitment to only allocate sites where we can demonstrate that they are well suited for their intended use(s).
