Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 20806

Received: 12/03/2020

Respondent: John Long Planning

Representation Summary:

Hibbett & Key Ltd object to lack of any 'new' allocations in Poringland/Framingham Earl. This Key Service Centre should have additional land allocated. Site GNLP0589A&B should be in primary position for allocation as it has been assessed as being well related to the village and suitable in all other regards. The only reason for not allocating it, is because no sites are being allocated. The other assessed sites in Poringland/Framingham Earl all have additional reasons for them not being allocated. If the decision is taken to allocate further sites, site GNLP0589A&B should be allocated as it performs the best.

John Long Planning Ltd represents Hibbett & Key Ltd who are promoting land for development North and South of Pigot Lane, Framingham Earl/Pigot. ref: GNLP0589A&B.

Hibbett & Key Ltd object to the decision not to allocate any further sites in Poringland/Framingham Earl. This Key Service Centre should have additional land allocated for residential development. Hibbett & Key Ltd note that the assessment of site GNLP0589 A&B confirms the site is well related to the village and the only reasons for not allocating it, is because there are other commitments in the village and no new allocations are being made.

The other assessed sites in Poringland/Framingham Earl all have additional reasons for them not being allocated. Hibbett & Key Ltd suggest that if a decision is taken to allocate further sites in this Key Service Centre, site GNLP0589A&B appears to out perform the other promoted sites and should therefore be in prime position for allocation. Hibbett & Key Ltd confirm the site remains available for development should it be needed.
