In summary, Land South of Halstead Road offers a more sustainable, deliverable, and well-integrated
development opportunity than the two draft allocated sites. Its strong landscape containment, ecological potential, alignment with local planning objectives, and superior accessibility make it the logical choice for residential allocation. The Local Plan must reconsider its approach and allocate this site to ensure a more robust, justified, and sustainable development strategy that aligns with
both local and national planning objectives.
