Respondent: Mr Andrew Fox

Representation Summary:

I am writing in support of this site, having made the original application for the land to be included in the Plan. On reflection, the site may only be suitable for around 15 to 20 dwellings, rather than the original number put forward. I believe the perceived risk is based on a theoretical model,with no past problems. Had the original owners chosen to sell the land would already have been developed so was obviously seen as suitable even 50 years ago, when the pressure on housing was much less than is the case today.
