Representation ID: 7550
Received: 17/11/2017
Respondent: Trustees of the Bowden Settlement
Agent: Mr. David Smart
Legally compliant? Yes
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Yes
Land off Burnmill Road (land to rear of Top Yard Farm) is immediately adjacent to Great Bowden's settlement boundary and considered sustainable.
Whilst the SHLAA identifies the site is considered potentially suitable over the next 6
to 10 years, it is available and deliverable now. Our clients have demonstrated
through the instruction of a technical transport note that there are suitable accesses
available.
We submit that the site should be removed from the Area of Separation and allocated for residential development, with a high quality design complementary to adjacent housing being a requirement of the Authority.
See attached.
The representation concerns land off Burnmill Road (land rear of Top Yard Farm), Great Bowden. The site boundary is attached.
The site is contained within unit 3 in the Area of Separation Review 2017. The
review found that unit three forms part of a primary contribution to the Area of
Separation. However it is considered that the west of unit 3 is different to the east,
and notably the representation site is self-contained and screened by mature trees,
thick vegetation and existing residential development. We submit that the site should be removed from the Area of Separation.
Given the sustainable location, the site would make an appropriate residential allocation. The entire site is in single ownership and is immediately deliverable, and could be brought forward in the next 5 years.
