Respondent: Austin Street Projects Ltd

Representation Summary:

The land at 68a Austin Street is vacant and secure. There is an intention to redevelop the site to deliver a high quality residential development, comprising predominantly of affordable housing.

The site was submitted to the 2017 'Call for Sites' and it has been assessed within the draft SHELAA as being suitable, available (immediately) and achievable (within 5 years) for residential development (SHELAA Ref. IP309).

Given the positive assessment through pre-application discussions, as well as through the draft SHELAA, the land at 68a Austin Street should be included as an allocation for residential development within the emerging Local Plan.

Respondent: Salter and Skinner Partnership

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)
