Yes, Cala broadly agrees with the approach laid out in Draft Policy Direction 2.
Cala welcomes the identification of twelve potential new settlement locations and in particular supports the assessment of Location “E1 - Long Marston Airfield” as a “More Suitable” location in its categorisation of suitability of each of the new settlements.
Cala continues to support the delivery of new settlements as this is in line with its continued commitment to the delivery of new homes at Long Marston Airfield Garden Village (LMAGV).
The New Settlements Assessment (November 2024) states that potential new settlement location E1 – Long Marston Airfield has capacity for c.9,850 dwellings and that this comprises numerous, different land ownerships which have been promoted. It would be helpful to identify exactly which promoted sites this includes and the potential number of dwellings which each could deliver. It is important that the potential new settlement carefully considers connectivity with the existing, allocated LMAGV, appropriate mix of uses, infrastructure requirements, and opportunities for complementary design through character areas etc to ensure delivery of a sustainable, well-connected community.
