Cala continues to support the re-use of brownfield land for new development as an effective use of land in line with the NPPF. Chapter 11 (Making effective use of land) of the NPPF places great emphasis on use of previously developed sites, Para 124 stating that:
“Strategic policies should set out a clear strategy for accommodatingobjectively assessed needs, in a way that makes as much use as possible of previously-developed or ‘brownfield’ land”.
Cala therefore generally supports the policy direction in that it states the spatial growth strategy will make use of brownfield land before development is considered in other areas.
The existing allocation at Long Marston Airfield Garden Village (LMAGV) is a brownfield site that is currently delivering a significant quantum of homes and will continue to deliver housing over the course of the Local Plan period.
Cala is fully committed to the delivery of LMAGV, as evidenced by the continued build out and planning applications advanced and is encouraged that the preferred options identifies a wider area for expansion around the existing allocation at LMAGV, assuming that this is sensitively planned and integrated with the LMAGV.
