Respondent: Europa Way Consortium

Agent: AMEC

The Consortium fully supports the allocation of Lane West of Europa Way for housing and broadly supports the allocation of associated infrastructure (subject to concerns raised in separate representations).

The land is within walking distance of existing schools, employment opportunities, and community services.

Development may be delivered within five years.

By specifying a specific number of dwellings the Consortium considers Policy DS11 to be too restrictive and should be reworded.

The allocation for housing on the Myton School campus should be reclassified as brownfield development, and not be included in the 1,190 dwellings for Land West of Europa Way. The figure of 1,190 dwellings should be increased to 1,235 dwellings given the potential reallocation of the 8 ha of employment to residential.
