Respondent: Gladman Developments

Whilst Gladman acknowledge that the report references the new definition of deliverable and also the types of evidence to be used to provide justification, these need to be taken into proper consideration when determining whether sites should be included in the deliverable supply or not. The change in definition of 'deliverable' is significant.

The PPG provides further details on what constitutes a 'deliverable site'. Furthermore an appeal decision for a residential development in Woolpit, Suffolk deals with the issue of deliverable supply and the revised definition. The burden is now with the Councils to demonstrate that sites are deliverable. Gladman note that the level of information provided by the Councils is detailed and that there is good evidence to suggest the Councils have sought to reach out to landowners, agents and developers to inform the trajectory.
