SOCS endorse the Northern Fringe Protection Group's points. Alternatives other than 'do nothing' should be considered, for example co-operating more closely with other local authorities and locating new homes nearer to new sites of employment. The SA does not recognise that delivery of the entire Garden Suburb may not be viable. A jobs led strategy should be considered as an alternative. The alternative of delivering jobs and homes outside of the Borough also needs to be considered, including on the Sugar Beet Factory site. Lack of sustainability may be a reason to not meet housing needs within the Borough.
