Support the proposed allocation of site 079 in the emerging Local Plan. Consider the site has been robustly
assessed and is more than suitable as a proposed allocated site in the emerging Local Plan.

The site has been deemed suitable for removal from the Green Belt as indicated by its selection to accommodate residential development. Reviewed the comments about the site set out in Appendix C and can confirm
vehicular and pedestrian access can be achieved via Kiddemore Green Road including using existing medical surgery access. However, an independent access can also be achieved direct onto Kiddemore Green Road.

Consideration has been given to the surroundings of the site and all of the key infrastructure requirements included in Appendix C. Consider the site has the
ability to accommodate a minimum of 43 dwellings and accommodate a mix of house types including an element of affordable housing. Can confirm the site can also
accommodate on site specialist older persons housing in the form of a small retirement village type development. A development can be achieved on the site that would be
policy compliant.

Excellent connectivity can be achieved into the village centre with access to services and facilities the settlement has to offer.
