Full text:

As you may be aware, I represent Mrs Mavis Ferguson of 147 Lugtrout Lane which is on the north side of Lugtrout Lane. Mrs Ferguson is unwilling to enter into any MOU with landowners on the south side of Lugtrout Lane.
We are in regular contact with representatives of other landowners on the north side of Lugtrout Lane about separate arrangements with those landowners. Mrs Ferguson is a free-standing landowner and supports the allocation of Site SO1 and removal of her property from the Green Belt. She is prepared to develop her land broadly in line with the latest version of the masterplan and will cooperate so long as she is able to do so with other landowners on that side of Lugtrout Lane.
We have already provided a site survey and possible layout of No 147 Lugtrout Lane to accommodate around 5 dwelling units which has been incorporated into the masterplan when last seen, and we will contribute land to the linear open space at the rear of the site if required to do so.
We will also seek to come into line with any overall drainage strategy as long as Mrs Ferguson can achieve a modest development on her land which we believe we have shown that we can. As we have a frontage to Lugtrout Lane and other services are available, we do not consider that there is need for any equalisation at this present time.
