Three sites are allocated for around 138 homes in total: Church Hill Road (102 homes), 56 High Street (20 homes, with possible commercial space) and North Cott, East Lane (16 homes).

The human version (we wrote this, not the council)This policy seeks at least 40% affordable housing on all development creating one or more extra homes, split 70% for rent and 30% for affordable home ownership. Major schemes in the Green Belt (10 or more homes, or 0.5 hectares or more) must provide at least 50%. Small sites of one to nine homes may pay a financial contribution instead. Affordable homes must look the same as market homes and be spread across a site. Most types are allocated to people with a local connection, and First Homes carry a permanent discount of at least 30%.
