Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 21589

Received: 28/04/2010

Respondent: Aber Ltd

Agent: Colliers International

Representation Summary:

These options result in a small scale addition of 60 dwellings which is considered to be proportionate to the scale of the existing settlement and assist in supporting existing services and facilities.

Options SC1 is located wholly to the south Anchor Lane, and would utilise the northern part of the field, as such it would not create a defensible boundary, contrary to PPG2.

Option SC2 is located to the west of the road leading to St. Nicholas Church and as such would be separate from the existing settlement; this would make it difficult to create a defensible boundary, contrary to PPG2.

Option SC3 the area to the east of the road leading to St. Nicholas Church is adjacent to the existing settlement and would increase the cohesion of the settlement. However, like Option SC2 the area to the west of the road leading to St. Nicholas Church would be separate from the existing settlement; and make it difficult to create a defensible boundary, contrary to PPG2.

Option SC4 would result in piecemeal development, which would not contribute to the cohesion of the existing settlement and would not have defensible boundaries, contrary to PPG2.

The preferred option would be the area to the east of the road leading to St. Nicholas Church in Option SC3.
