The College supports the location of allocations set out in the Local Plan concentrating the majority of growth to the most sustainable locations. The Local Plan continues to support the status of Barford as a Growth Village, due to its existing services and facilities. The College maintains that Barford is a sustainable location for development and that the Local Plan is in accordance with the "golden thread" running through the planning system of sustainable development. The College supports in principle the identification of H47 Land South of Wasperton Lane within the Policy, but object to the extent of the allocation. The allocation should be amended to include the College's wider landownership to accommodate circa 210 dwellings.

The area of land allocated for housing south of Wasperton Lane, Barford should be expanded to include all of the College's land holdings. This larger site is outside the green belt and has no other formal designations. there are no insurmountable infrastructure issues or landscape constraints. Development would not impact on the conservation to the north and impacts other heritage assets could be mitigated. the site has good access to services. The objections is accompanied by plans illustrating the sites potential. The site is available and deliverable.
