We do not believe that all the sites proposed to be allocated in the Primary and Secondary Service Villages, will be found to be available or deliverable. It has not been considered in objective depth whether other limited infill villages might benefit form modest further development.
Our particular focus is land owned by the Objector next to Lyons Farm in Rowington Green where a limited amount of residential development would both meet the wider identified needs of the community in terms of housing for young families, single people and the elderly would help to
redress the balance of population mix, encourage retention or enhancement of services.
The strong locational synergy between Kingswood and Rowington would mean that release of this site at Rowington Green would either take the place of at least one of the sites identified at Kingswood to fulfil the number of dwellings required in that settlement.
We believe that releasing the Lyons Farm site shown on Policy Proposals Plan 27 for Rowington and Rowington Green could provide up to a dozen mixed dwellings compatible with the character and appearance of the area and will ideally meet the documented local need for Rowington Parish.
