The Met Office broadly support this housing allocation, as it is recognised this development has been previously committed as part of the Bellway Homes New Cardington Fields development. Therefore, new development in this location should be subject to appropriate and effective engagement with the Met Office as part of achieving well-designed places in accordance with paragraphs 16 and 126 of the NPPF. Furthermore, effective engagement will help ensure new development does not place “unreasonable restrictions” on the Met Office’s existing operations in line with paragraph 187 of the NPPF.
