Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 8524
Received: 15/03/2019
Respondent: Kier Living Ltd - Coleshill Road
Agent: Nexus Planning
SHELAA housing trajectory demonstrates that Council is relying on a number of large-scale strategic allocations to deliver dwellings early in the Emerging Plan period. Site 9 comprises 9 separate areas/ownerships with no indication consortium or agreement formed. SHELAA identifies 50% of site constrained by contaminated land/landfill site and unclear that this could be remediated to deliver development within 5 years. Decision on possible relocation of Arden Academy an added complication. Plan should require site-wide masterplan/development brief to be approved before applications made. Without agreement, high risk that 400 dwellings will not be delivered in first 5 years.
