Respondent: JO Steel Consulting

Site formerly comprised a railway embankment.

No Green Belt Assessment.

Reasons for rejecting site are challenged.

Existing dwellings to west, attaching site to urban area. This is not an extension into open country. Dwellings to east - listed Hollin Hall and also site IL02/H. There is a Caravan Club site adjoining the northern boundary .

Site is visually contained, can be justified as a “rounding off “site.

Less impact on landscape than historical case when site was an embankment.

No impact on views into/out-of the ANOB.

Site not suitable for agriculture

Impact on listed building to east will be neutral.

Access to the A65 with good sight lines is available.

Site could yield 30 units.

Site ideal to accommodate SB&CB housing.

Available/deliverable now.

Adjoins highway that carries public transport and close to bus stops.

This is a brownfield site.

Site will assist in reducing the shortfall of five year supply.
