Option SC3 - East and West of Road leading to St Nicholas Church
We would argue that the option, is focused on the West of Canewdon which is contrary to the
Core Strategy which states that land "south of Canewdon" is the preferred location for the 60
new homes.
Although this option maintains a "strategic gap" between the existing housing on Lark Hill
Road, development in this location will impact significantly on the setting of the Church as
discussed in the Visual Assessment provided. We would question the ability to design an
appropriate scheme in the area proposed, dissected by the unnamed road leading to the
church.
Deliverability is questionable, due to the number of likely of landowners involved. The size of
the area proposed would also result in a poor defensible boundary, with little opportunity to
provide much needed open space for the existing and proposed community.
Split into two parcel and numerous landowners, the development is unlikely to provide the
Section 106 package required as part of the Core Strategy.
