This response supports the inclusion of Site SW5/H (but note there is a separate objection to the non-identification of the remaining extent of Site SW5/H).

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

The sites are deliverable with a willing land promoter on board to ensure the sites come forward in the short term.

The Green Belt site specific assessment concludes that site SW5/H would have a moderate impact on the green belt. It is considered that with appropriate design and landscaping, that the exceptional circumstances of the need to meet the District’s housing requirement justify the release of the site.

In conclusion we support the identification of SW5/H (and the wider SLA parcel SW/10A) as preferred housing sites.

Once SW5/H is ‘Allocated’ our client will be looking to submit a planning application almost
immediately. In this context the Delivery Timescales should be amended to 0-5 years.
