Duty to co-operate? Not specified
The use of this field for housing has been under discussion with developers and council staff as long as twenty years. It originally envisaged housing for the entire site rather than partially over the site which the current plan indicates. For the playing field to regenerate itself it will need to be sold for development and then a multi-sports field provided in Whitton separately. The Trust would have insufficient funds if development goes ahead as set out in the Local Plan. Don't object to principle but site cannot be vacated until alternative arrangements made.
Amend site boundary to cover entirety of playing fields.
