OAN could be vastly over-estimated resulting in no justification for site H53. Commuting does not depend on the balance between local jobs and housing growth.
Building housing on greenfield sites results in dispersed housing pattern, overburdening services and increasing infrastructure and environmental costs. The sum calculated is insufficient to cover the extent of the proposals. There is a gap between the triad of the OAN, sustainable development and the ability to comply with the NPPF. Developers retain land banks for exploitation when they choose and always choose greenfield land over brownfield.
Access problems in terms of gradient and visibility.
Localism Act - the proposals for H53 do not comply with NPPF with no local decisions made and little consultation by WDC; therefore unsustainable, unsound and undemocratic.
Late decision with little or no thought and detrimental impact on residents, facilities, traffic, public facilities, safety, infrastructure and wild life. Plan should be withdrawn
