Concept Masterplan recognises viability issues. To be considered
developable, sites should be in a suitable location for housing development with a
reasonable prospect that they will be available and could be viably developed.
Recommend that site 7 is not relied upon as an allocation for housing.

Given stated uncertainty over the extent of the site available for development and hence its deliverability, it is inappropriate and unsound for site 15 to be allocated.

Unreasonable and unjustified to limit this re-assessment of Green Belt boundary to north of School Lane. Given the new development in north, the same
'washed over' Green Belt assessment should be carried out south of
Hockley Heath along Stratford Road. Site 14 does not have open character and green belt lower performing in GBA. Immediately adjacent development, represents natural extension of village, and part of built area as recognised in BLR assessment. Much of site previously developed, has defensible boundaries, is in sustainable location and will contribute to provision from small sites. Parish NDP Survey indicates greater community support likely.

Red Site 14: 2440 Stratford Road/Firs Paddock fully satisfies site selection criteria and should be green and allocated. No known constraints preventing redevelopment of this partly brownfield site. Site is in sustainable location, part of built up area of settlement and requires only a minor adjustment to Green Belt boundary. Lower performing in GBA and medium to high accessibility. Object to erroneous application of site selection methodology Step 1 as should be 3/5 not 6, and Step 2 criteria satisfied. Object to statement re lack of defensible boundary as provided by mature trees/hedgerows. Lack of local opposition to site.

St. George and Teresa School, site 155, with an identified capacity of 31 dwellings,
is currently in educational use therefore an alternative site for education use would
need to be found before this site could be released for residential redevelopment.
Safeguarded land should be identified and removed from green belt to meet future need and avoid need to alter green belt boundaries in review.
Evidence behind Review flawed, no detailed landscape/ecological assessments of preferred/amber sites, additional/smaller parcels require assessment for GBA, no revision to IDP, no viability assessment, and no feasibility/masterplanning of SGS growth location recommendations.
