Too much reliance is placed on this site in the development strategy to deliver a significant quantum of housing especially when considering its complex nature, high infrastructure costs and the uncertainty around the timing and assessment of the WWTW relocation. We are of the view that the quantum of development is far too high for the size of the area allocated for housing and the various site constraints.
We raise several questions in our attached comments regarding the biodiversity net gain, townscape impacts, implementation of the trip budget and the robustness of the viability appraisal.
