Representation Summary:

The Local Plan should clearly distinguish between planned growth that is deliverable and supported by confirmed infrastructure capacity versus future ambitions.

The plan does not provide sufficient evidence that existing or planned infrastructure (transport, schools, utilities, healthcare) can adequately support the proposed development at the site. Without confirmed infrastructure provision, claims of sustainability and deliverability are speculative.

Releasing land ahead of demonstrated need risks inefficient land use, increased costs, and potential environmental harm. The Local Plan must align housing allocations strictly with confirmed demand and infrastructure readiness to ensure sustainable development.
