Allocations Submission Document
Representation ID: 29114
Received: 24/01/2013
Respondent: Mr Dudley Ball
Agent: Edward Gittins & Associates
It appears to be legally compliant however, it should be noted I am not legally qualified.
It is noted that the sites identified in this document represent the current distillation of the initial selection of sites by the Council, particularly those that represent an extension to the existing residential envelope.
This is a readily deliverable site under the terms of the SHLAA as confirmed in this ASD. This site also accords with the relevant criteria of the NPPF.
As regards the housing numbers in Section 3 this site can provide 7 dwellings rapidly if the land is released. We disagree with the description at para 3.79. This land is not Greenfield land it is garden land and PDL (LDC certificate 99/00785/LDC) PD buildings foundations piled (commenced) and garage for plot 8 foundations all piled more than 4 years ago. There is no wooded area and only some hazel bushes in the middle of the land. This land remains garden land.
Site capacity - we agree that the site can support a minimum of 50 units and this will need to be exceeded as minimum targets have now been swept away by the DCLG. The site of Westview can be commenced within months depending on the spped of approval by RDC of details of 7 dwellings. It is noted that the Pond Chase Nursery site has been approved at a density of "21.9" (1) dpha and not 30 as set out in this document and thus the contribution of PC Nurseries will under-perform and all the more important for the 7 at Westview to be built without further delay and as it is unlikely that all 50 will be built by 2015.
There will be no adverse consequence for the objectives listed in para 3.81 as this part of the site can be developed independently but coherently with no impact on any of those stated objectives.
Taking into account the above comments I endorse and support the findings so far by this document.
