Representation Summary:

The Council objects citing inadequate highway provision and the fact that it is at the extremity of the village meaning it is very disconnected and any retail unit would have to be accessed mainly by motor vehicle.

Representation Summary:

The Horsford Neighbourhood Plan indicates that the existing supermarket is not adequate in size for meeting the needs of the current population and a new or expanded supermarket is required as Horsford grows.

The site promoter is undertaking further work to assess the impact and mitigation opportunities based on the assessment findings and is working closely with stakeholders and decision makers with requirements being met where justified for later submission.

GNLP2154 (Horsford retail)

The proposed allocation will help to support and improve existing local services and facilities in Horsford. The Horsford Neighbourhood Plan indicates that the existing supermarket is not adequate in size for meeting the needs of the current population and a new or expanded supermarket is required as Horsford grows.

The site promoters have met with the Horsford Neighbourhood Plan Group to present the possibility of a retail store on this site meeting the identified need within Horsford. The site promoters will continue this dialogue, engaging with the local community regarding the suitability of the site to meet this need.

The HELAA utilises a red/amber/green (RAG) scoring system to measure individual constraints and impacts associated with proposed development sites. It is noted that this site attracts green ratings for Accessibility to Services, Utilities Infrastructure, Contamination and Ground Stability, Flood Risk, Market Attractiveness, Significant Landscapes, Townscapes, Biodiversity and Geodiversity, Historic Environment, Open Space and Green Infrastructure and Compatibility with Neighbouring Uses. However, it attracts amber ratings for Access, Utilities Capacity and Transport and Roads. The site promoter is undertaking further work to assess the impact and mitigation opportunities based on the assessment findings and is working closely with stakeholders and decision makers with requirements being met where justified for later submission.

There are potential, existing sites in the village for an additional retail solution. Developing ANOTHER site isn't necessary.
