Respondent: Contour Planning Services Limited

Amafhh Investments owns the freehold of Briggella Mills. Whilst Amafhh supports the Council’s identification of the site for residential development, it is concerned that the draft Local Plan only identifies the site as being suitable (indicatively) for 200 residential units, and considers the draft Local Plan misses the opportunity to use this large previously developed site, located in a highly sustainable location, to assist the Council meet its shortfall of residential land and to meet its aspiration to develop the majority of housing allocations on Previously Developed Land.

Amafhh’s vision is to achieve a high-density residential development (supported by an element of community uses), with a focus on creating a great place to live, supported by use of energy efficient/low carbon technology.

Amafhh considers the site is capable of delivering in excess of 700 dwellings and the draft Local Plan should be modified to reflect this higher number of units.
