Local Plan 2040 Draft Plan - Strategy options and draft policies consultation

Representation ID: 6628

Received: 14/09/2021

Respondent: Taylor Wimpey

Agent: Taylor Wimpey

Representation Summary:

It is noted that at this stage the proformas for each of the sites contain very limited information to allow a proper assessment and comparison of the sites. It is noted that the consultation document states at paragraph 4.3 that more information will be added when it becomes available.
It is essential that the Council commit to undertaking additional, more detailed assessment work to allow a robust assessment of the sites on a comparable basis.
This is particularly important for the new settlements where a significant amount of further work in additional to the high level assessments undertaken to date will need to be undertaken to understand their suitability for development and any mitigation that will be required if they are to form part of the strategy moving forward.
In this regard, Taylor Wimpey are keen to work closely with the Council on exploring further the exiting opportunity that is available at Denybrook and developing the evidence base to underpin its allocation in the Local Plan.
