Include site in plan

This representation objects to the exclusion of this site and the existing development opposite from the development limits for the Black Lion Road part of Cross Hands. Its inclusion would form a natural ‘rounding off’ to this part of the settlement and would not lead to additional environmental pressure, instead fostering sustainable growth and allowing a wider choice of housing type within this Tier 1 Principal Centre. Its development would be in keeping and in character with the settlement and will ensure a readily deliverable source of future housing for this sustainable community. The proposed site offers a valuable development option in this part of Cross Hands.
In addition, residential development at this location:-
· would not be detrimental to the amenity of adjacent properties;
· would satisfy recognised housing and sustainability objectives;
· would not have a detrimental impact on the landscape or nature conservation interests.
Furthermore, the site is not impeded by any access, ground condition, flood risk, hydrological, ecological, archaeological or land ownership related constraints and its short term delivery is assured.
It is considered that this site is both sustainable and deliverable and can accommodate an appropriate form of development. The site is readily available and there is sufficient interest in the locality for development to take place within the early years of the plan period.
The inclusion of this land within revised development limits would be fully supported.
