    ST HELENS BOROUGH LOCAL PLAN 2020-2035 EXAMINATION HEARING STATEMENT IN RELATION TO MATTER 4 on behalf of Cass Associates Studio 204B The Tea Factory 82 Wood Street Liverpool L1 4DQ Tel: 0151 707 0110 E-mail: [email protected] May 2021 1 Introduction to the Statement 1.1 Redrow Homes Ltd made representations at the St Helens Local Plan Preferred Options Consultation and the Submission Draft Consultation . These related in particular to land at Junction Road / Stanley Road in Rainford (the site) and argued that the release of this land from the Green Belt to meet housing needs through the plan period was justified and sustainable. To support the release of this land from the Green Belt two advocacy documents were prepared and submitted.: 1) Site selection and Development Statement (attached as Appendix 1) 2) Transportation Assessment (attached as Appendix 2) 1.2 The Submission Draft of the Local Plan proposes a lower housing requirement and fewer sites for release from the Green Belt than shown at the Preferred Options Consultation Stage. At Rainford there is only a single proposed allocation for housing (on land to be removed from the Green Belt) and no provision for safeguarded land. 1.3 Redrow Homes Ltd believes that, whilst the Local Planning Authority is not supporting the allocation of the site for housing in the plan period, it is an appropriate and sustainable location to meet longer term development needs. There is a strong planning case for the removal of the site from the Green Belt and its identification as safeguarded land.
