Preferred Options for Sites

GT06 Land at Park Farm/Spinney Farm (amber)

Representation ID: 64946

Received: 02/05/2014

Respondent: Barwood Strategic Land II Limited

Agent: HOW Planning LLP

Representation Summary:

Sites must be deliverable and available yet site GT06 will require a CPO and so does not meet the policy requirement. There is no indication of the relative weight to be placed on each criteria but it is not rational to identify a site as Preferred or Alternative if CPO powers are required. As CPO powers must be seen as a last resort, the Council must be able to demonstrate that all other options have been considered. It is clear that the site selection process is flawed and has not been adequately evidenced or explained, which will undermine the Council's case. The time and costs involved in the CPO process mean that there is no guarantee that the sites can be delivered in a reasonable timescale or at all and therefore cannot be considered as deliverable. This in turn makes the Plan unsound.

Site GT06 should be reclassified as "not suitable" (Red).
