and achieve comprehensive development across the full extent of the allocation and integration with the wider surrounding area.

  • a clear phasing strategy detailing a timeframe for the delivery of homes alongside the timely delivery of infrastructure required to support the scale of the whole development, having particular regard to cumulative impacts arising from other sites allocated by policy HOM 2a and other planned development in the area, including environmental considerations and cross-boundary impacts arising from development outside of Stockport. Phasing strategies should also include details of how progress information about each phase's delivery will be made available to the council and the public; and
  • details of how the local community have been proactively engaged and how design expectations have been clarified.

4. Affordable housing

Planning applications for the development of List 1 sites allocated by policy HOM 2a must meet the requirements of policy HOM 5. Planning applications for the development of List 2 sites allocated by policy HOM 2a must adhere to policy HOM 5 in terms of affordable housing unless an alternative, site-specific requirement is specified in the other requirements section of this policy, below. Where a site is to be delivered in phases, the first half of those phases should meet the percentage requirement in full. Greater flexibility may be permitted in later phases so long as the overall percentage requirement is met (or exceeded) for the site as a whole.

5. Housing mix

Planning applications for the development of List 1 and List 2 sites allocated by policy HOM 2a must deliver a mix of homes in accordance with policy HOM 4.

6. Necessary infrastructure improvements

Planning applications for the development of List 1 and List 2 sites allocated by policy HOM 2a must provide infrastructure as required by all other relevant policies. Measures to provide necessary infrastructure must be implemented in a timely manner, ensuring that the issues they seek to mitigate are addressed before they arise.

7. Green space

Development of List 1 and List 2 sites allocated by policy HOM 2a must deliver accessible green space to meet the needs of new residents in accordance with other relevant policies, in particular policy HOM 8.

Wherever policy requirements to meet the green and open space needs of new residents are proposed to be met on-site within a List 2 site allocated by policy HOM 2a, applications for development must include a site-wide open space and
