Development and Site Allocations (DaSA) Local Plan - Options and Preferred Options
Representation ID: 22705
Received: 20/02/2017
Respondent: Cantelupe Community Association
The Association does NOT agree site #4) BX5: Knole Road should be included as a 'preferred' site suitable for housing development. In registering it as an Asset of Community Value, the council formally recognized its value in furthering the social wellbeing and interests of the local community. Furthermore, no assessment has been undertaken to show the whole space is surplus to requirements. Although some space would remain, about half of the existing would be lost and views to the remainder would be blocked by new buildings. Therefore any development would run contrary to paragraph 74 of the NPPF.
