Received: 11/12/2020
Respondent: Messrs Benton & Neary
Agent: Tyler Parkes Partnership Ltd
Legally compliant? Yes
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Yes
Insufficient evidence has been provided to demonstrate Site KN2 is deliverable or developable, contrary to the requirements set out in the National Planning Policy Framework. It is unclear whether there is an agreement by all landowners to the site being brought forward. There appears to be a lack of a comprehensive agreed approach with the Concept Masterplan document including three concept plans produced by different companies.
There are also unresolved issues relating to the loss of playing pitches. A fully developed masterplan strategy with appropriate playing pitch replacement strategy is required.
There are significant concerns about the feasibility of delivering the necessary infrastructure to facilitate development within 5 to 10 years.
Paragraphs 225 and 226 should be amended to remove the estimated contribution of KN2 from Delivery Phases I and II.
Policy KN2 should be amended in light of the findings of additional evidence gathering, negotiations with landowners and masterplan work
