Support, as most appropriate site for strategic growth in area and appreciate that Plan recognises housing is most effective use of land adjacent Catholic Church, Meeting House Lane. Site will provide retirement accommodation to serve needs of Borough residents.
Welcome progress on Concept Masterplan and urge completion. As landowner, committed to working collaboratively to deliver. As small part of site contributions need to be proportionate and apply to demands on infrastructure, eg not norm to contribute to educational provision.
Density should be considered in context of design, setting and need for accommodation. Site is self-contained and surrounding built form should not be strong influence.
