New search3.6. Bloor is generally supportive of the Southbourne DPD vision and objectives. Specifically, the vision and objectives detailed are consistent with a number of the facets of sustainable development. 3.7. It is clear however that the key will rest on successful translation of both the vision and principles into a means against which to assess relevant planning applications. This will require a degree of flexibility and pragmatism to be imbedded within the final DPD document, which recognises that not all sites may contribute towards the vision and objectives in an equal manner. For example, it will need to be recognised that not all sites may be suitable for providing a range of housing types. Additionally, it will need to be acknowledged that schemes benefiting from an outline planning consent prior to the emergence of this DPD, may not be able to demonstrate full accordance within the DPD given the differing policy environment in which they were consented.

Q.6 Are there other benefits and challenges that you feel should also be included? 3.8. This question relates to Scenario 2: Land to the East. 3.9. Whilst it is noted that this consultation comprises an "issues and options" consultation, this development option sees Four Acre Nursery contained within the red line for the Broad Location for Development. Indeed, the Scenario 2 masterplan indicatively shows that Four Acre Nursery would be partially/ entirely allocated as green ring, with little residential development. This is inconsistent with the extant outline planning consent for 40 dwellings that the site benefits from (SB/22/01903/OUT). This would raise issues of 'soundness' as defined within paragraph 35 of the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2023), with specific regard to the requirements for plans to be justified (paragraph 35 (b) and effective (paragraph 35(c)). 3.10. In order to remedy this matter, we would invite the Council to amend the red line of the Southbourne Allocation to exclude land at Four Acre Nursery in its entirety, thus recognising that the site benefits from an outline planning consent for residential development. In doing so, we note that the forthcoming reserved matters application will need to be assessed against the Southbourne Neighbourhood Plan (adopted 2024), which includes a number of land-use and other planning requirements that are similar to those contained within this Regulation 18 consultation document. Indeed, this is acknowledged at paragraph 4.4 of the consultation document. [See attached document for full submission]

Q.8 Are there other benefits and challenges that you feel should also be included? 3.11. This question relates to Scenario 3: Mixed Scenario. 3.12. As is the case for Scenario 2, Scenario 3 would also see Four Acre Nursery contained within the red line for the Broad Location for Development. Accordingly, we consider that the response provided to Q.6 applies equally to Q.8 and Scenario 3. [See attached document for full submission]
