The identification of a requirement to provide children's play facilities, in the form of either a Local Area of Play (LAP) or Local Equipped Area of Play (LEAP), in association with any proposed residential development is considered to add weight to the concerns expressed by Cogent regarding the deliverability of the Stambridge Mills site. The provision of children's play facilities alongside the identified constraints (including but not limited to highways/access infrastructure, flood mitigation measures and affordable housing), means that the overall quantum of dwellings that may be deliverable on site is likely to fall considerably below that originally anticipated in the adopted Core Strategy. These factors cast doubt over the deliverability of the proposed scheme, both in terms of the number of dwellings capable of being accommodated at the site and in terms of the timing of their provision, and re-affirm the need to ensure that the development of Stambridge Mills is comprehensively planned in accordance with the proposed development of land South of Stambridge Road.
