Respondent: Mr Ian Blackburn
Representation Summary:
Without substantiation the wording of 6.29 is circular. A site should not be viewed as strategic just because it can become so with enough investment but because it has certain characteristics in its own right. Many location can be made to become strategic particularly with regard to a Housing led site. The evidence supporting a Strategic (large) housing allocation is not presented and furthermore there is no evidence to suggest that an investigation has been carried out to test whether the Dunton Hills Garden Village or any other location would be the best place to develop a strategic housing site.
