-According to the VHO, the preferred option has been selected due to the 'potential regenerative impact on the village and potential improvements for accessing the primary school' and discounts the land south of Mallory Road (Site 3) on the basis that it is a 'larger scale site with lower regenerative benefits than the preferred option'. The report does not identify the specific regenerative benefits that Site 1 can provide over Site 3 and unless the Council's decisions are based on a proportionate evidence base, the Local Plan will not be justified or consistent with national policy and is likely to be found unsound.
-It seems possible that the regenerative benefit is the potential for Site 1 to deliver a new access for the school. There is no technical evidence to demonstrate there is an issue which needs to be mitigated or that new access needed to be provided.
