The SA incorrectly assesses the SGV (Site Reference: GNLP4057A) against some of the sustainability objectives and the SA could benefit from an expanded assessment of the new settlement proposals which is outlined in the attachment. SEE FULL REP IN ATTACHMENT.
The SA should be revised regarding certain objectives for SGV proposal.

Policy 2 Sustainable Communities
Representation ID: 24552
Received: 22/03/2021
Respondent: Orbit Homes
Agent: David Lock Associates
We have no objection to the thrust of Policy 2 as it stands, other than to observe that there is much duplication of national policy within the supporting text, and it may be more effective to simply cross reference to the relevant parts of the NPPF rather than replicate commentary or requirements.
We welcome the approach to identifying area-specific requirements within Policy 2 – such as for the GNLP area, the focus on support for free standing decentralised, renewable and/or local carbon
energy networks, providing energy supplies close to customers, especially when these can be designed as an integral part of development proposals. It should be noted that the SGV proposal includes such provision through a solar farm as an integral part of its wider ‘designed-in’ net zero carbon emission and green infrastructure provision. Only developments of the scale of a GV will
deliver such sustainable development. Piecemeal edge developments will not comprise sufficient critical mass to do so.
