Before allocating this site the Council again needs to satisfy itself that the site is deliverable. The scheme is controlled by numerous different landowners and requires complex infrastructure delivery. There has to be a concern about delivery of this site, and particularly over how long that could take. At best much of the housing will be delivered in the later stages of the local plan period.

Notwithstanding the above, the whole rationale and concept behind the site to date is that it would secure delivery of a replacement secondary school. Option 1 however excludes this and objection is raised to this option. Without the secondary school, the site justification falls away and it should be removed entirely from the plan and replaced by other more suitable sites. We therefore object to Option 1.
