Negatives of site GNLP0264 are the industrial use which will remain adjacent to the site,
possibility of contamination from the current industrial use, flood risk, restrictions on acceptable
vehicle access location and requirement for segregation of vehicles between the residential and
industrial use and higher accident record in the local area compared to area of site GNLP0283.

Positives of site GNLP0283 are the wider community benefits the site can offer, higher level of
affordable home provision, better transport links, better and less restrictive access options and
lower accident records in the vicinity of the site. A key advantage site GNLP0283 has over the
majority of the sites listed in Table 5 (See Connectivity Assessment) is that the site has good connectivity for various modes of travel, with good vehicle links to the Northern Broadway, which would not involve vehicle travel through the village to connect to the strategic road network; whereas the other sites involve travel
through the village before connecting with the strategic road network.
The promotion of this site through the application process is well documented and the outcome through negotiation has arrived at a scheme which in overall terms complies with all policy requirements.
Finally, as fully demonstrated above (See Full Consultation Response), Horsford should be identified as a KSC (or at the very least a Service Village as at present) to secure a sensible level of growth reflecting the realistic status of the village and therefore a contributor towards an effective local plan capable of delivering housing and achieving relevant strategic objectives.
