The site is available (in the control of a housebuilder) and suitable for development; there are no constraints that cannot be addressed or mitigated for.

Although the Site Assessment Update Report 2021 asserts that the site should not be allocated due to
having “limited access”, we do not consider this a reason that can be sustained to justify the non allocation of the site.

Our client has control over part of the garden to 33 Kenstone Crescent, which allows for a suitable access to be achieved.

Furthermore, Idle is a settlement which hosts a wide range of services and facilities, including supermarkets, retail outlets, schools, medical facilities and public transport links. All of these are within close proximity of our client’s site

We conclude that site ref: NE/128 – Kenstone Crescent should be allocated for residential development.
