We disagree that the capacity of the site to 60 is appropriate or represents the best use of this previously developed site. As demonstrated in the attached Design Statement, it is considered that the site can deliver at least 80 units but there is scope for more.
There is no explanation or evidence base as to why the site capacity has been reduced and it is considered that the professional team can address any technical issues in relation to the site and deliver additional housing in a balanced layout. The the site has capacity for at least 80 residential units, without having an adverse impact on amenity.
The allocation should therefore be increased to between 90 and 100 residential units.
See attached.
