We find there is little basis to conclude that the site can accommodate the amount of additional homes identified in the development strategy.
It is acknowledged in the Plan that the reconsidered capacity of the site will need to be informed by a detailed review of the site wide masterplan. The capacity is anticipated to be in the region of 1,000 to 1,500 homes. It is surprising at this stage of Plan making that the capacity of the site has not yet been tested before consultation with the public.
