Site has extant outline planning permission for either 14 flats (HS/OA/12/00107) and alternative outline planning permission (HS/OA/13/00004) for 9 houses. Neither consent contains any requirement for affordable housing or a transport report.

It is questionable whether it is appropriate to include the site as a housing 'allocation' as it is now a housing 'commitment' given that it has extant planning permission. If however, the site is to remain as an allocation in the Plan, paragraph 6.151 should be amended to refer to the extant planning permissions. Furthermore, draft policy SH7 should be amended to delete requirements (i) and (v).
