Village Clusters Housing Allocations Plan - Alternative Sites & Focused Changes (Reg. 18)

I write with regards to the current consultation regarding the continued proposal to allocate land here for 35 homes but now on an enlarged site area. With the aims to:
- lower density
- offer a range of housing
- provide a good level of green space
- enable a focus viewpoint towards the City (acknowledging local plan landscape strategy and the underlain landscape character assessment)

I’m pleased to say, further to the preliminary engineering and landscape studies et cetera supporting the principal, more detailed studies have been undertaken and continue; together with early sketch layouts – which establish that the above key points are achievable. These are being progressed by a local quality housebuilder with a social ethos, who have recently entered into a legal agreement to purchase the land subject to their achieving planning permission accordingly.

It therefore leaves little doubt that the land will meet the SNC Village Clusters Housing Allocation Local Plan policies, and having a robust experienced housebuilder taking matters forward as we speak, with early delivery envisaged.
