Supports the allocation of the site within the emerging Local Plan, but provides evidence to indicate that the site can accommodate additional dwellings, approximately 200 dwellings, whilst delivering a high-quality development, including satisfying the draft policy requirements in terms of Biodiversity Net Gain, drainage, residential amenity and open space provision.
A concept plan is submitted with the representation, which shows that the site is deliverable
and includes the following:
• 200 dwellings with up to 30% affordable homes;
• Density of 30 dwellings to assimilate into the character of the surrounding settlement;
• Safe vehicular access from Mill Lane;
• Significant amount of Green Infrastructure including: Recreational routes within the site and pedestrian connectivity to the adjacent South Witham Play Park and playing fields and further afield to facilities and services on Water Lane; Equipped areas of play and/or contribution to the South Witham Play Park; Landscaped buffers and central green links to create a network of natural greenspaces and provide onsite BNG; and Sustainable Drainage Systems to control surface.
