Pleased that the site has been allocated for development. Housing could be accommodated in the northern part with employment on the southern part and a buffer in the middle. The NPPF states that planning policies should avoid long term protection of allocated employment sites where there is no reasonable prospect of the site being used for that purpose. It is not feasible to allocate the site for 100% employment. There has been previous interest from residential developers. The site can be configured to offset impacts of the water treatment works. The site boundary should reflect land ownership arrangements.
