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.

Contend that Policy DS3 – The Spatial Strategy to 2038 requires some redrafting to ensure that the delivery of the homes presently identified for allocation through the Local Plan review should be much closer to the identified minimum need having full regard to the requirement to increase the contribution towards the unmet needs arising from GBBCHMA overspill.

There is an over reliance on large strategic sites in the plan.
