Release of this land would provide a sustainable location for the development of new homes to help the Borough achieve its housing requirement within the plan period.
The site has clear, strong defensible boundaries with the A4141 Warwick Road to the east, Grove Road to the south and the built up residential area of Knowle to the north and west. A parcel of land within the west of the proposed allocation is currently being built out for residential use.

Release of this land would provide a sustainable location for the development of new homes to help the Borough achieve its housing requirement within the plan period.
The site is immediately adjacent to the existing settlement and clear, defensible boundaries can be established.
The release of the site is policy compliant and therefore justifiable to help SMBC meet their housing needs across the Borough.
The DLP recognises the need for infrastructure requirements to be fulfilled to ensure site deliverability. The main constraint was noted as the Listed Buildings to the eastern edge of the site. These can be sensitively managed.

Allocation of this land will provide a sustainable location for new residential development to help the Borough achieve its housing requirement within the plan period.
The site is outside the Green Belt and performs well in terms of accessibility and the use of previously developed land. Infrastructure requirements are noted to ensure deliverability.
Potential land contamination and existing onsite lease agreements are identified as constraints to the site. Despite these, the site is a brownfield site in a sustainable location surrounded by established residential development.
