Respondent: Bellway Homes Limited

The site’s allocation for residential development for circa 70 new homes on the site is supported and is deliverable. Should the site be allocated for residential development, it is envisaged that a planning application for in order of 70 new homes on the site will be submitted following the adoption of the Local Plan.

Other than the delivery of the initial site infrastructure we are confident that there are no other major infrastructure works that need to take place prior to the commencement of delivery of new homes on the site. Accordingly, the development will commence within a year of the submission of the planning application. Due to the site’s size, there would be one development/selling outlet delivering new homes at the site. It is therefore anticipated that the development will deliver a yield of at least 40 homes per annum.

The development proposals can therefore deliver significant benefits to Allerton and the wider District within the first five-year period of the Local Plan, alongside making a significant contribution to the Council’s ongoing 5-year housing land supply requirements.
The anticipated submission of a pre-application enquiry prior to the examination of the Local Plan will help to ensure that the deliverability timescales outlined above are met.

It is considered that the land at High Ash Farm will create a sustainable, high quality and accessible development which will provide significant social and economic benefits to Allerton and the wider District area.
