Request that the Council’s officers re-consider this site (EM/005) as a preferable, or additional, allocation to EM/007 as it brings a much wider range of benefits given its potential and its superior sustainability performance. It is also capable of making a meaningful contribution to market and affordable housing and to meeting the higher component of the full objectively assessed housing need which should be distributed to this Local Service Centre. This in conclusion would help to resolve the two key settlement issues identified for the village.

Green belt review of site - The description of the site submitted is incorrect as it only included the large northern component of my client’s landholding and not the house and gardens to the south. We argue that purpose 4 should be entirely removed from the Green Belt Review process.

SA - Given the description of the site and the summary assessment it appears that the larger site containing the southern residential curtilage and buildings has been included. This mistake needs to be rectified and a site sustainability re-assessment carried out.

Based on this rational comparison of performance the Cliff Delph site EM/005 is preferable to the much smaller selected allocation site EM/007.
