Object to the Policy on the basis that clients site at Hatch Rd, Pilgrims Hatch has not been identified as Housing Land Allocation. The site should be allocated for the following reasons:
- Site allocation will allow for a logical extension of Pilgrims Hatch in accordance with the Green Belt purposes in the NPPF.
- Will allow for clear and planned growth of Pilgrims Hatch within what is a derelict former brownfield site. Site was used as a commercial nursery.
- The site has been previously developed and whilst the buildings have since disappeared from the site, their foundations exist and the land remains contaminated and derelict. Allocation and development of the site will allow the remediation work to take place for decontamination.
- Opportunity to positively enhance the environmental and ecological quality of the site through a development led proposal.
- The site offers a defensible boundary to ensure the development of it would not result in urban sprawl or encroachment into the open countryside.
