Request minor amendments be made to allow for level of flexibility so that future development can be aligned with local needs at time of development.

Recognise that specialist accommodation for the elderly is important given the ageing population, flexibility should be included to ensure provision is akin to local need.

Clear that gypsy and traveller plots currently available in other areas of District have not been taken up by Council for allocation (HBI0028). Clear absence of information regarding requirements for pitch provision in localities and site specific needs required to be met. No evidence in respect of engagement with gypsy traveller community in respect of desire to be located on suburban residential sites. Difficult to design suitable means of access within residentail housing estate, no consideration given to how this can be accommodated within such a site. Not appropriate to include gypsy and traveller site provision until further evidence provided on suitability of approach, need in this specific location and suitability as part of housing allocation of this scale, with single point of access. Object to inclusion of allocation for 3 gypsy and traveller plots.

Criterion 5 - Secondary vehicular access unsuitable, although a pedestrian access would connect into existing footpath network to the west.
