The Land east of Newton Lane is well related to both the existing built form of Turvey and proposed development west of Newton Lane. It is a logical location for future growth. The development of the site for 80 dwellings can be delivered without undue impacts and would keep development levels within Turvey well below the 150 dwelling total which has already been considered appropriate up to 2030. The site can be safely accessed, as confirmed by the Highways Authority. The proposed scheme delivers the opportunity to provide dedicated off street parking for properties on Newton Lane (with ownership transferred to the properties) which currently have to park on street. The site would provide new areas of high quality public open space creating an attractive development and new amenity areas for existing and new residents. The site can deliver a policy compliant level of affordable housing.
Land east of Newton Lane, Turvey should be positively allocated within the emerging Plan. This is considered to be entirely logical and will make a valuable contribution towards meeting the Council’s housing needs and ensuring that Turvey delivers appropriate development up to 2040, not just 2030.
