Representation Summary:

Objection to the rejection of site SW/146

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

Appendix 2 clearly shows that SW/146 can be accessed using an adoptable but slightly amended highway arrangement.

SW/146 borders properties on Delph Grove and therefore in conjunction with residential development can provides opportunities for significant landscape planting and the creation of formal / informal open space. SW/146 is also a logical extension to the urban edge.

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.
