Representation ID: 7555

Received: 16/11/2017

Respondent: Trustees of the Bowden Settlement

Agent: Mr. David Smart

Representation Summary:

We support the removal of the land from the Area of Separation.

We suggest given the site's location and my client's control of number 54 The Ridgeway, the site would make an appropriate residential allocation to fill the unallocated numbers within the district.

Land to the Rear of The Ridgeway (see attached map) is well suited to a residential allocation and development could occur within a 1-5 year time frame. The April 2017 Area of Separation Review confirms that coalescence will not be compromised given the position and context of the site and the site could potentially accommodate circa 45 dwellings at a standard density of 30 units per hectare.

We support the removal of the land from the Area of Separation, and suggest given the site's location and my client's control of number 54 The Ridgeway, the site would make an appropriate residential allocation to fill the unallocated numbers within the district.

The entire site is in single ownership and is immediately deliverable, and this is recognised by the 2016 SHLAA which identifies the land could be brought forward in the next 5 years.
