Appendix 4: Planning Application 2025/1386: Land North of Raleigh Drive — Objection from Claygate Parish Council
Density of Development
22. We note with particular concern the reference by the planning officer, in his response to the pre-application enquiry, to para 130 of the NPPF. He quotes from point (c): “local planning authorities should refuse applications which they consider fail to make efficient use of land, taking into account the policies in this Framework”, and adds: “In officer’s [sic] opinion the applicant should give strong consideration to increasing the density of the development as there would appear to be sections of the submitted indicative site plan that could accommodate a higher density, notably along the western side of the site.”
In effect the planning officer is encouraging the applicant to submit a full application for more than 60 dwellings on a site which in our view would not support as many as that. We do not consider that it is appropriate for the planning officer, responding to an outline application for “up to 60 dwellings”, to suggest that a full application might be refused if the applicant did not apply for more than 60 dwellings.
If this outline application for “up to 60 dwellings” is granted, 60 is the maximum number of dwellings for which a full application could be made.
