Representation Summary:
Development (113 dwellings) at Bourne End Nursery (IP034) is appropriate on brownfield site. Supports the government objective to boost housing on previously developed sites.
Council does not have 5 year housing land supply.
Sites in flood zone 2 can be developed for housing if there are no sequentially preferable sites, subject to exception test. There aren't other suitable sites to ensure the Borough has a suitable range of sites.
The development can be made safe for its lifetime. Only minor shortcoming is partial-flooding of road but not dangerous enough for refusal.
Allocate site for housing. (see appendix accompanying reports)
