We are concerned the proposed 15% uplift will render schemes which are already struggling with viability even more difficult to bring forward.

We support the allocation of the Rattlechain site as a Strategic Housing allocation. We would however welcome the revision of para 16.12 - whilst the site does not meet the NPPF definition of PDL, it is undoubtedly land which has been the subject of significant development in the past and as such is not predominantly green field. The green appearance of the site is due to self seeding scrub, trees and plants not due to it being green field in character.
