Rolleston-on-Dove NP - Submission Version

<strong>Rolleston</strong> on Dove Neighbourhood Plan
Windfalls
4.63 The remaining balance of dwellings required to deliver Policy H1 shall be achieved on windfall
sites within the village boundary.
Objectives of the policy
4.64 The policy seeks to ensure that a range of appropriate sites come forward to deliver the housing
requirements of <strong>Rolleston</strong> on Dove parish over the lifetime of the plan. These sites are all
considered to be sustainable in terms of their proximity to the services in the village. Moreover,
they are able to deliver the requirements of Policy H2 and the needs of older people.
4.65 The phasing in the policy seeks to ensure that all the allocated sites do not come forward in the
first few years of the plan period, which would potentially subject the key services in <strong>Rolleston</strong>
on Dove to unacceptable levels of strain.
Policy H5a: Housing allocations and phasing – Land at Knowles Hill
Land at Knowles Hill shall provide approximately 12 dwellings. This shall predominantly be for 1-
and 2-bed properties.
An alternative scheme on the land at Knowles Hill delivering a lower number of units will only be
considered acceptable if:
- it does not compromise the potential to deliver the overall housing requirement as identified
in Policy H1; and
- sites coming forward later in the plan period would not have to provide an unacceptably high
number of housing units addressing older person’s needs, such that this could compromise
the viability of the overall scheme.
Where possible, the existing residential property on the site should be retained.
The site is not to come forward in the first 5 years of the plan period unless the permission for
residential development at Meadow View is not delivered and the permission expires.
Policy H5b: Housing allocations and phasing – Land off Shotwood Close
Land off Shotwood Close shall provide approximately 12 dwellings. This shall be a mix of 2-, 3-
and 4-bed properties.
The site is not to come forward in the first 5 years of the plan period.
