Proposed amendment

Reason for change |
|
Renumbering of paragraphs in sections 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 |
Paragraphs in these sections to be renumbered to correct an issue whereby paragraph numbering is not consistent with section numbers as per the remainder of the plan. |
|
Policy H1 Table 5.1: Housing allocations Removal of # adjacent to sites H1, H3, H7, H31, H52, H55, H58, ST4, ST15, ST17 Phase 1 and 2 |
The # adjacent to sites in Table 5.1: Housing allocations indicates those sites within 5.5km of Strensall Common SAC whereby policy GI2a should be applied. A number of the sites have been wrongly identified as within the 5.5km buffer; this amendment seeks to correct that error. |

Policy H3: Balancing the housing market 5.23 Forms of housing covered under this policy include supported housing for young people, individuals with mental or physical health issues, homeless households, houseboats, sheltered housing, residential care, nursing homes and extra care facilities. Where possible, housing should be designed flexibly so that it can be adapted to meet alternative housing uses as needs change in the future. Such housing should be provided across the city, as opposed to being concentrated in certain areas, to help to enable people moving into such accommodation to remain in their local area and to create and maintain balanced communities. |
Additional text to paragraph 5.23 (submission version) to accord with recommendation in EX/CYC/123a(i) Main Modifications responses amended and omitted in error from the adopted version. |
