Representation Summary:

This response supports the inclusion of Site SW6/H (but note our separate objection to the non-identification of the remaining extent of SW6/H).

Within the SA the site is considered well located to provide residents with good access to jobs, services, transport and health facilities.

The green belt site specific assessment concludes that the site would have a moderate potential impact on the green belt. There are exceptional circumstances to justify the site's release for development.

There are no known viability issues the site could deliver the full S106 requirements.
There are no environmental constraints associated with the site that cannot be dealt with via appropriate design. The development of SW6/H (and the wider SLA parcel SW/10B) would form a logical extension to the urban edge.

The site (and the wider SLA parcel SW/10B) will contribute to the identified shortfall in housing land released (see objection to Policy SP8)

The site is deliverable with a willing land promoter on board to it comes forward in the short term.
