The site is available within the meaning of paragraph 47 of the Framework. The analysis of this land holding with the Strategic Housing Land Availability assessment is not accurate in the context of this parcel of land. Sufficient evidence has been submitted to demonstrate that this parcel of land is in fact deliverable in tht:
- The site is available now
- The site offers asuitable locatopn for development now and is achievable with a realistic prospect that housing will be delivered within five years. In particualr the site is viable
It is submitted that this land should be included within the sites for release within phase 1. The site extends to 3.12 hectares and could provide up to 90 dwellings.
The concerns identified in te SHLAA (site W12) related to a much larger area of land. This site is sufficiently distanced from the M40 as not to suffer from unacceptable noise disturbance or air pollution. The land lies outside Flood Zone 3B and is not within the Cordon Sanitaire of Longbridge Sewage Works
