Support principle of allocation, but a number of changes required to make Policy BL2 sound:
Part 5
In principle, it would be agreeable to Taylor Wimpey if the Concept Masterplans formed the starting point for future planning applications for the site. However, as set out in the representations submitted in relation paragraphs 242/243 and the Concept Masterplan for this site, a number of amendments would be required to ensure it has been prepared in accordance with national policy (e.g. establishing the Green Belt boundary) and the evidence prepared on behalf of SMBC and Taylor Wimpey’s appointed consultants (note concerns relating to the SMBC heritage and ecology evidence base).
This representation should be read in conjunction with those submitted by Taylor Wimpey in relation to the Proposals Map and the Concept Masterplans.
Part 5
The Concept Masterplan document should be read alongside this policy. Whilst The Concept Masterplans are indicative only and may be subject to change in light of further work that may need to be carried out at the planning application stage. Future development proposals should adhere to the design principles and overall objectives set out in the Concept Masterplan
document for site BL2. Justification should be provided where there is a significant departure from the principles/objectives.
Delete following: any significant departure from the principles outlined for Site 12 BL2 will need to be justified and demonstrate that the overall objectives for the site and its wider context are not compromised
