Representation Summary:

Site SO1 (formerly site 16) should be deleted because:-
1) It cannot be reconciled with the previous position that the site (or components thereof) would impact on the openness of the green belt and threaten coalescence between settlements.
2) The development fails to meet the objective referred to in Challenge E ‘Protecting key gaps between urban areas and settlements’
3) Current infrastructure does not support a development of this size, and current development plans for land on Damson Parkway in particular, will result
in significant traffic issues which have not been truly taken into account.
4) Lack of evidence of a Traffic Impact Assessment for the Plan period and specifically for site SO1.
5) Contradicts para 430 of the Plan to take account of the setting and special character in considering development proposal.
If not deleted, any development north of Lugtrout Lane should be ribbon development, with the site capacity substantially reduced to minimise impact on rural character.
The site is within Hampton-in-Arden Parish and should be included in the Hampton-in-Arden settlement chapter.

Change suggested by respondent:

Site SO1 should be deleted. If not deleted, capacity should be reduced north of Lugtrout Lane. The site should be relocated into the Hampton-in-Arden settlement chapter
