The Council has commissioned an Urban Capacity Study to replace a 1999 study. It identifies a range of brownfield housing sites within Torbay with capacity for residential development, as well as building on established trends of building rates set out in the Housing Land Monitor, to project the potential rate of residential development on windfall sites up until 2016. The findings of the study will enable the Council to consider the options available in the Local Development Framework to achieve the rate of growth required to meet the development plan housing allocation.
A full copy of the Urban Capacity Study can be purchased for £40 (plus £1.00 P&P) by contacting the Strategic Planning Group. A summary is available below.
