Representation Summary:

Objection to the rejection of site SW/004

The site is rejected in the SLA on the basis that there is no suitable highway access.

Appendix 1 clearly shows that SW/004 can be accessed from Holts Lane / Delph Drive through an extension of the adopted Highway.

SW/004 provides a logical extension to the recently constructed development sitting adjacent to the its western boundary. It would also be bordered by properties on Delph Grove and Delph Terrace and therefore has defensible boundaries to the south, west and east.

The site is well located to provide residents with good access to jobs, services, transport and health facilities.

The plan should identify additional sites to meet a housing requirement of 2,300 dph

The site is deliverable, unconstrained housing sites capable of delivering housing to meet the identified housing requirement.

There are no known viability issues and 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.
