For Official Use Only Person ID: Rep ID: Mod 15 – Paragraphs 2.66 to 2.68 These representations should be read in conjunction with our representations in respect of Mod 14 in relation to Policy DS15 Comprehensive Development of Strategic Sites. With regards paragraph 2.66, whilst it is understood that a number of strategic sites are in multiple landownership, this is not the position with the Crest site at Lodge Farm, Westwood Heath Road. Accordingly there is only one landowner and one developer and this enables the site to come forward without any issues regarding ownership. Indeed, the submitted Vision Statement demonstrates how the land can be comprehensively developed with a potential early start on site (see trajectory). Crest would work with the Planning Authority and all other interested parties to prepare and submit a planning application as soon as practicably possible following the completion of all of the relevant survey work which is already underway.
