Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 1693

Received: 07/02/2019

Respondent: Heaver Homes Ltd

Agent: King & Co c/o ATP

Representation Summary:

We support the proposed allocation for 1300 homes and other associated facilities and uses. We agree that there is a requirement for infrastructure (including wastewater and highways works).

We agree that there is an imperative to secure a strong design approach with good linkage to the existing village. The NP process represents one proposal for a spatial layout but it should not be construed to represent the optimal or unique solution to meet policy objectives. A requirement to adopt that layout will fundamentally hinder deliverability and the opportunity to realise the housing in the early part of the Plan period.
