Harborough Local Plan 2011-2031, Proposed Submission

GD2 clause 1

Representation ID: 6062

Received: 01/11/2017

Respondent: Shire Homes

Agent: Landmark Planning Ltd

Representation Summary:

My clients are supportive of the encouragement given to the development of land within or contiguous with the existing built up area of the settlements listed, particularly in respect of the Rural Centre of Fleckney where my clients own land at High Street (see attached location plan). This site has been consistently promoted for residential development throughout the preparation of the Core Strategy and Local Plan and it is currently being considered by the Neighbourhood Plan Group where it is understood that it is favoured because it is well located in relation to services and facilities.

H1 clause 4 Fleckney

Representation ID: 6067

Received: 01/11/2017

Respondent: Shire Homes

Agent: Landmark Planning Ltd

Representation Summary:

It is noted that at paragraph 5.1.17 of the Plan the figures expressed are residual ones (i.e. not included completions and commitments) and taking this into account, the target of 295 dwellings for Fleckney is supported given the good level of services and facilities that exist in the village. My clients site at High Street has the potential to yield c60 dwellings (together with retail floorspace on the site frontage within the Local Centre). It is well located and could provide an excellent range of dwelling sizes and tenures.

H1 clause 4a - Arnesby Rd Fleckney

Representation ID: 6070

Received: 01/11/2017

Respondent: Shire Homes

Agent: Landmark Planning Ltd

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

Notwithstanding my clients support for the overall target of 295 dwellings for Fleckney, the allocation of land at Arnesby Road for 130 dwellings (a significant proportion of the overall quantum of development in the village) without reference to the emerging Neighbourhood Plan risks full consideration of the views of the Parish Council who are preparing the Plan not taking place. It is understood that my clients site at High Street is favoured for allocation in the NP - this would potentially cause confusion if different sites were allocated in different documents.

RT2 clause 7

Representation ID: 6071

Received: 01/11/2017

Respondent: Shire Homes

Agent: Landmark Planning Ltd

Representation Summary:

My clients support the provision of additional shopping and business uses within the local centre area of Fleckney which includes their proposed development site at High Street. The scheme being prepared as a full planning application would include approximately 280 square metres of additional retail and other 'main town centre uses' and a replacement car park facility together with residential accommodation at first and second floors. Such a proposal would widen the available choice of retail facilities in the village to the benefit of existing and future residents.

F1 Clause 1

Representation ID: 6074

Received: 01/11/2017

Respondent: Shire Homes

Agent: Landmark Planning Ltd

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

As indicated in my clients representations on policy H1 (4) (reference 6070), there is a concern that the allocation of land at Arnesby Road, Fleckney for 130 dwellings without reference to the work being undertaken on the Neighbourhood Plan risks a lack of co-ordination between this document and the emerging Local Plan. Furthermore, it is evident from the proposed Housing Trajectory that the Council do not envisage commencement of development on the Arnesby Road site until 2023-4. This indicates that there may be issues with the delivery of this site which would delay or prevent its development.
