When considering development proposals the Council will take a positive approach that reflects the presumption in favour of sustainable development contained in the National Planning Policy Framework. It will always work proactively with applicants jointly to find solutions which mean that proposals can be approved wherever possible, and to secure development that improves the economic, social and environmental conditions in the area.

Planning applications that accord with the policies in this Local Plan (and, where relevant, with polices in neighbourhood plans) will be approved without delay, unless material considerations indicate otherwise.

Where there are no policies relevant to the application or relevant policies are out of date at the time of making the decision then the Council will grant permission unless material considerations indicate otherwise – taking into account whether:

• Any adverse impacts of granting permission would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, when assessed against the policies in the National Planning Policy Framework taken as a whole; or

• Specific policies in that Framework indicate that development should be restricted.

New development will make the best use of previously developed land and buildings within existing built-up areas. and Additional land for development will be released in accordance with a sequential approach identified in the Settlement Hierarchy.

Provision is made for up to 25.9ha about 29ha of additional employment land which includes about 21.5ha 18.4ha as part...

Between late 2009 and July 2011 a series of studies have been initiated. All the studies are available on the www.whitehillbordon.com website. These studies form an evidence base which supports the masterplan findings and will be used were used to further refine revise the development framework masterplan. In particular a series of improvements have been suggested which will go to consultation in the autumn of 2011. Public consultation was carried out in the autumn 2011. The revised Whitehill & Bordon Framework Masterplan (May 2012) has been adopted by the Council.

The Eco-town Policy Zone boundary is identified on Map 4. Development proposals within the Eco-town Policy Zone, including wind fall sites will have to comply with the relevant District-wide policies in the Local Plan: Joint Core Strategy, and with those specifically for Whitehill & Bordon (CSWB) which reflect its Eco-town status. Development proposals may have to meet targets that are significantly higher than for other parts of the District.

The Whitehill & Bordon Strategic Allocation covers about 340 Ha of land which will provide up to 4,000 new homes and associated infrastructure as defined in the Strategic Allocation Policies CSWB1 Strategic Allocation, CSWB3 The New Town Centre, CSWB9 Biodiversity and CSWB11 New Roads and Traffic Management on the A325. These four policies relatespecifically to the Strategic Allocation area as identified on Map 4.

Map 5: Strategic Allocation Proposals Map demonstrates how the Eco-town Vision could be delivered within the allocated land. The Plan illustrates the spatial distribution of the principal land uses of the Strategic Allocation as tested in the masterplan and evidence base studies.It is intended to be a flexible framework and would not prevent modifying site specific land use if further evidence comes forward or when the next stages of the Local Plan are prepared.

Proposals for new development within the strategic allocation must:

Include any necessary mitigation measures, to be funded by the developer, to ensure the continued safe and efficient operation of the strategic and local road networks.

Take account of the outer boundary Eco-town Policy Zone (see Map 4) which shows…

…existing commitments on large sites and a large and small urban potential (see Appendix 3)

…a total area of 18.5 about 21.5 ha…

… of a total area of around 113,000 about 122,500 sqm of floorspace (including the town centre)….

Land is allocated for up to 4,000 dwellings as shown on the Proposals Map.

The Inner Relief Road will be designed as a ‘Street’ and will incorporate ‘Manual for Streets'⁷⁰ design principles to ensure that whilst allowing for vehicular movement, the street positively provides for other highway users, providing a safe and attractive street environment. The routing of the inner relief road shown in Proposals Map 5 remains indicative at this time and will be subject to further ongoing work. Initial findings of this work have identified two possible options for the southern alignment of the road; routing through Viking Park and utilising the southern section of the dismantled rail corridor, both of which are shown as potential alignments on the Map.

Where the provision or improvement of infrastructure, or other works or facilities is necessary, either on or off-site, to meet community or environmental needs associated with new development or to mitigate the impact of development on the environment, such works or facilities should be provided either on or off-site, or the payment of financial contributions will be required….

The provision of infrastructure will be linked directly to the phasing of development on land throughout the district to ensure that appropriate enabling infrastructure is delivered planned infrastructure is delivered in a timely fashion.

The current understanding of the required requirements for infrastructure are is set out in Appendix 2.
