Respondent: Bloor Homes

Agent: Evolve Planning & Design

Bloor Homes is promoting Land at Grange Farm, Coven for residential development. This site is suitable, available and achievable and should be considered if it is determined through the Examination in Public that omission sites are necessary to make the Local Plan sound.
This land represents a logical site for development within the sustainable settlement of Coven, providing an opportunity for delivering approximately 189 new homes with associated supporting infrastructure.
Development of the site would effectively infill an area of undeveloped land within the established confines of the village. Considering this, the site is appropriate for development as it would result in the sustainable growth of Coven, close to its Village centre.
The information contained within this representation, read in conjunction with the appended Vision Document and the Council’s published evidence base demonstrates that Land at Grange farm is a suitable and deliverable site for
residential development, subject to its release from the Green Belt. There are no existing uses that would require relocation and no issues of contamination that would require remediation. Many of the potential impacts of
the development of the site can be mitigated through design and in many cases a positive outcome can be achieved. It is submitted that Land at Grange Farm represents a sound strategic housing allocation and should be considered if, through the Examination in Public process, omission sites are required to make the Local Plan sound.
