We agree with Draft Policy Direction 2’s intention to identify and consider the allocation of one or more new settlements.
It should also be recognised that Site E1, with an extension to include the Site, would be sufficiently detached from existing settlements, such that it could act as a self-sustaining settlement without reliance on other existing settlements for jobs, community facilities or services.
In addition, the Site is in the ownership of a single landowner with the ability to bring the land forward as part of a comprehensive masterplanned approach working collaboratively with the owners of Site E1. The landowner is therefore willing to engage with potential promoters and other landowners with an interest in Site E1. Therefore, the extension of Site E1 to include the Site would not introduce more complexity in terms of land assembly, and would not hinder the deliverability of a new settlement at Site E1. On the contrary, the landowner of the Site is willing to work closely with other landowners and the Councils to ensure the sites could be brought forward as soon as required during the plan period. Taking into account the above, it is considered that Site E1 should be extended to include the Site and be included as a proposed New Settlement Location for upwards of 10,000 dwellings and related employment in the SWLP.
