Marrons is promoting Land at Seaton Road, Glaston on behalf of Jeakins Weir for residential development. This site is available now and deliverable with no fundamental technical constraints. Given that it is within the PLD for Glaston and due to its previously developed nature, delivery of the site for residential development is supported by the provisions of the adopted development plan.
Retention of the PLD for Glaston or else the articulation of a clear policy framework for land within and well-related to the smaller villages as suggested above, would support the delivery of this sustainable site for development to in order to meet housing needs.
We note from the December 2019 Strategic Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (SHELAA) that the site was not carried forward for further assessment given it was not located adjacent or within the towns or the local service centres. We note, also however, that many allocations and reserve sites have been identified in Draft Policy H1 at locations that were not previously classified as towns or local service centres. There is no clear explanation for this apparent lack of consistency.
