Representation Summary:
This appears to be a new site. Pub closures have been, and continue to be, a potential source of brownfield housing land. However, we think these should be regarded as windfall sites, rather than specific land allocations. The Eagle and Child is a small site (20 units). The site details note a potential business loss or relocation, this suggests the pub is still in use. Taken together with the reported existing lag of starts behind permissions already granted, it seems that there is some uncertainty about its coming forward, despite the site assessment's forecast of "early delivery".
