Red site 62: Land Adjacent Shirley Golf Course.
This Priority 5 site in the council's site hierarchy should be identified as a 'green site', as the assessment for Site 62 does not support the Step 2 refinement from potential allocation to a site with significant harmful impacts. There are no significant impacts on the green belt, as the gap between settlements would not be reduced and is much greater than maintained from other allocations, or on landscape character, as other sites allocated in the same LCA Area and there is no finer-grained assessment. Site should be categorised as high accessibility rather than medium/high, as footway can be provided and Accessibility Mapping score of 40 is incorrect, should be 100. Site has a strong defensible boundary with the golf course to the south.

Concern that sites have been disregarded when the overall housing requirement remains unknown. Some amber/red sites should be proposed for the Plan period and/or longer term development. Need for sufficient supply and mix to meet the requirement and provide a realistic trajectory, to provide greater flexibility than 5% given the reliance on larger allocations, and to include more smaller allocations. Lack of compelling evidence for level of windfalls proposed.

Criteria b i and ii of the sequential approach in DLP2016 should be merged to reflect paragraph 138 of NPPF, as no distinction between previously developed land and land well-served by public transport. Delete reference to land lost to committed development as not consistent with NPPF.

Site 62 Stratford Road. Compensation would result from improvements to Shirley Golf Club and the environmental quality and accessibility of the golf course.
