Received: 14/01/2021

Respondent: SMBC - Strategic Land and Property - Site KN2

Agent: Cushman and Wakefield

Support the allocation and the proposed amendment of the settlement boundary to accommodate housing.
Support that the site has the capacity to deliver at least 600 new dwellings to contribute towards local housing need, the redevelopment of Arden Academy and new primary school to create an ‘all through’ school.
Policy KN2 should refer to the site’s capacity being ‘at least’ 600 dwellings (to allow for flexibility at the outline planning application stage) which is achievable in line with Policy P5 and the challenges and objectives of the plan.
Reprovision of the Academy will help to achieve wider Council objectives on climate change and sporting provision.
A preferred Concept Masterplan has been submitted that is policy compliant. Technical work has been completed to support this.
