SG24 is an unjustifiable overdevelopment that contradicts the NPPF and SMBC’s Local Plan, threatening Hockley Heath’s semi-rural character. It would double the population, overwhelm local infrastructure, and irreversibly destroy Green Belt. SG24 fails to address biodiversity, environmental impact, or infrastructure capacity, particularly in education, healthcare and transport. There has been no coordination with SMBC and SG24 should not be permitted to proceed without reviewing alternative sites and taking a more comprehensive review of the plan to release green belt. Site 278, in particular, presents significant issues as it is not wholly owned by the proposer, raising issues about its viability.
