Difficult to see how delivery of 600 across two phases, 0-5 years and 5-10 years will be achieved.
The site, is in fragmented ownership. No evidence that the land parcels will come forward within the timescale identified. The concept masterplan shows a complex area, with several different issues to overcome. These need to be addressed in a coordinated way.
Difficult to see how required Green Belt enhancements could be achieved given the amount of built development being proposed.
Concerns about the development on the southern section of the site given constraints. Capacity of the allocation should therefore be reduced which would allow Green Belt compensation to be provided at source. Further capacity can be found elsewhere in the settlement (e.g. site 199 Land at Four Ashes Road).
Policy KN2 and the associated concept masterplan should be revised to reduce the capacity of the site and provide adequate compensation for the loss of Green Belt. Deliverability must also be clearly demonstrated to ensure that the policy is sound.
See attachments.
