Representation Summary:

Despite being submitted to the call for sites, the site (Hatherton House Hotel) was not assessed in the Council’s current Strategic Housing & Economic Land Availability Assessment (SHELAA), nor on the relevant map of those sites that have been considered in the immediate vicinity of Penkridge.

Submit that South Staffs should be taking 8% of the GBBCHMA unmet need - an additional 1,600 homes.

The windfall allowance of 450 units is too optimistic.

Green Belt review - The assessment is not reflective of the site’s strategic Green Belt performance and should not therefore be used as a basis to discount its potential suitability for allocation for new housing in the Local Plan
Review.
