23. Site analysis – Question (10) • Some residents had not identified any sites for development • Other residents had specifically stated they did not want development

24. Identifying no sites is not an option

25. We needed to consult the residents again So we took the sites identified and…...........

26. Interrogated every site identified as part of the responses from the questionnaire and: Removed any sites that: Did not integrate within the village and would be a separate entity Had a village amenity on them Were annexed from the village Considered there would be a safety / highways issue Had an existing bungalow that might be demolished Had been previously objected to by the Parish Council as unsuitable residential development Had only 1 household express the site as a 3rd preference Site analysis process

27. What next • 10% has been determined as the figure for the village to grow by 2029 • This equates to around twenty houses • The residents have told us they want smaller sites • The site analysis process has identified 3 smaller sites • We now need to identify a site that will accommodate 10 buildings or less • We are asking all residents to have a say in determining a site for potential development • As we said earlier, the identifying of no sites for possible development is not an option

28. We were left with…................

29. A quality check against responses received showed that: More than 50% of responses had identified these sites 62% had these sites as their preferred 1st option • Sites that could accommodate 2 to 5 houses: • Land at the Croft (in Croft Lane) • Old Vicarage garden (Church St) • Land behind the Beeches, off the Green • Sites that could accommodate 10 houses or less: • Site A – Field beyond the playing field in Braunston Lane • Site B – Land between the School and the Golf Course on Daventry Road • Site C – Field behind Silver Birch opposite the allotments on Daventry Road

30. What next • We are asking all residents to complete a voting slip • (as mentioned earlier, identifying no sites for development is not an option) • You can either vote tonight or return the slip on Thursday 6th October to the village hall (18.30 – 20.30) • You have already told us, via the questionnaire, what smaller sites you would consider for development • We now need your help to identify a site that will accommodate up to ten houses • WARNING IF YOU DO NOT RETURN YOUR SLIP, YOU WILL LOSE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A SAY IN HOW YOUR VILLAGE GROWS
