Respondent: Austin Street Projects Ltd

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.
