our client owns the site identified as GNLP0250, which forms part of the preferred allocation identified as policy GNLP0250/0342/0119/0291. Our client supports this allocation and has the following comments to make:

Our client supports the identification of this site for 'at least' 200 homes and is pleased to see this identified as a minimum requirement. Subsequent design work – informed by a masterplan – will confirm the maximum yield across this allocation.

Our client supports the provision of a masterplan across all of the sites within this allocation to ensure an appropriate form of development is delivered. The masterplan process should be a prerequisite for any planning application that comes forward on any part of the allocation site.

The provision of a road through the allocation that links Shelfanger Road with Heywood Road continues to be supported by our client, who will work with the adjoining landowners/developers to deliver such a link.

Our client supports the intention to protect existing Public Rights of Way and provide linkages into these. However, the wording of the policy should allow for the route of the PROW to be determined through the masterplan process so that variations of the existing route can be justified through sound urban design considerations. It should instead refer to the need to maintain a Public Right of Way either along the existing route or close by to reflect the outcome of the masterplan process for this site. This would include the provision of new linkages to this route to ensure appropriate pedestrian permeability through the site.
