Wider allocation incorporates land we do not own or control. The sites therefore should not be combined.
We do support the residential allocation of part of our site to the east.
Our site should be allocated in its own right. The housing element is justified on a stand alone basis.
By virtue of the current consented uses there is no requirement to fetter the wider site by including the pub in the allocation.
We support the sites inclusion within the village boundary given its central, accessible and sustainable location.
Whilst we acknowledge the desire to retain the public house, the area allocated may not truly reflect that which is reasonably required to ensure its continued operation as this is a large area of car parking which may be too large. Any land retained for the public house should take a realistic view based on the actual needs of the pub.
Surplus land does exist, the best use for this will be a potential extension to the housing allocation to ensure the best and most efficient use of land in such a central, sustainable location and where the LPA have already acknowledged the suitability and need for future housing.
