Respondent: Owner of Orchard Farm
Agent: Collins & Coward Ltd
Representation Summary:
Object that Orchard Farm (site ref 303A,B) is not allocated for residential development. The Council has not had and does not currently have, at the time of writing, a 5-year housing land supply, in which case applicants can invoke paragraph 14 of the NPPF which takes a level of control away from the local planning authority. The 380 dwellings per annum figure is a challenging figure for the borough. Orchard Farm is a sustainable option being close to a range of shops and services, leisure facilities, primary school at West Horndon, as well as the proposed Dunton Hills garden village.
