    This schedule contains the infrastructure requirements for the St Austell CNA. This CNAs falls within a combined planning framework for the area as set out in the St Austell, St Blazey and China Clay Area Regeneration Plan and as reflected in the Local Plan. Local Plan The St Austell, St Bazey and China Clay area is one of the council’s two priority areas for strategic regeneration and investment. The area is endorsed as a location to create an eco ‘town’ (eco communities), forming part of a Government supported project to create a number of eco ‘towns’ communities creating outstanding places to live and work that meet high environmental and social standards. The Local Plan identifies the area as one where economic opportunity should be maximised through development that is sustainable, transformational and of a nature and scale that would bring about significant change for the better. The Local Plan seeks developments that address local needs to achieve high social standards, lead the way in achieving high quality, high environmental performance and to support the development of environmental technologies and industries. The Local Plan key objectives for the St Austell CNA: 2,500 homes in St Austell 300 homes elsewhere in the St Austell CNA, to support sustainable development of established communities Development in the area should: • help rebalance the communities by providing facilities, economic development or housing for local needs of a scale that is appropriate to the settlement and reduces the need to travel; • deliver community benefits in the form of affordable housing for local people and contributions to requirements for facilities, services and infrastructure identified locally.

In support of this, the Site Allocations Development Plan Document (Site Allocations DPD) (and associated St Austell Town Framework Plan (TFP), allocates sites to accommodate this strategic growth. This housing evidence report documents how the housing growth requirement for St Austell is planned to be accommodated: Section 1 of this report sets out an assessment of the level of housing which is forecast to be accommodated within the existing urban area, including a consideration of future site allocations within this. By establishing this existing urban capacity, it is then possible to calculate how many houses need to be planned to be accommodated outside of the existing urban area (i.e.
