Local Plan 2015-2030 Preferred Options for Consultation
Representation ID: 342
Received: 03/10/2013
Respondent: South Essex Partnership University NHS Trust
Agent: Bidwells
Representation Summary:
The Council's preferred housing target of 3,500 new homes over the Plan period cannot be deemed sound on the basis that it will not meet the Council's objectively assessed housing need despite there being suitable sites which have not been allocated for housing. My client's site is a highly sustainable location for development and meets the Council's own assessment criteria for allocation. On the basis that my client's site has been discounted when it is entirely suitable for housing development, we must assert that in our view the Council's justification for this preferred strategy is unsound.
