Representation Summary:

BHL very much welcomes SSC’s recognition of the suitability of 'north of Penkridge' to accommodate large-scale growth, as expressed through proposed strategic allocation SA4. That reflects the site's suitability for development (as set out in the full-length representations) and indeed the submitted Masterplan for the site demonstrates the opportunity to deliver c. 1,210-1,285 dwellings within the allocation.

However, BHL are of the view that, rather than deferring design and infrastructure considerations to a site-specific SPD, it would be more appropriate to deal with those through the plan (in the form of specific policy/design requirements and a more detailed IDP).
