Concept Masterplans. Para. 242
Bullet Point 3 (in relation to BL2)
Bullet 3: different land uses/proposals have been identified
The indicative capacity of the site at 1,000 dwellings is supported and it similar to that proposed by Taylor Wimpey through the previous Local Plan consultations and is considered to be deliverable.
A concerns is, however, raised regarding the Concept Masterplan itself and the location and quantum of open space shown.
Open space
It is noted in Policy BL2 that 8.2 hectares of public open space will be required to be delivered on site, however, the area of land shown significantly exceeds this amount and extends south far more extensively than the site ownership of Taylor Wimpey. As noted previously, it also includes the land to the west of Light Hall which while is currently not identified for development, could in future (see comments above).
Unless SMBC have a firm commitment from other landowners that the proposed public open space outside of Taylor Wimpey’s ownership can be delivered, the Concept Masterplan should be amended accordingly.
