Site Rd/r01 Reed site restrictive data now missing from site information. 22 houses are not deliverable due to covenant restrictions
SUBMISSION RE REED R/Rd1
Site RD/r01 is incorrectly assigned as being suitable, deliverable and available for a development of 21 dwellings
This site is owned by the Turney Trust (charity 1097415) and has restrictive covenants limiting development to only needy residents of Reed and Therfield who have been resident for over 4 years with preference to ex employees of the late John Turney.
All development must be affordable only . Consequently this site is not available to meet the housing area's local need or contribute to meet housing needs in the wider surrounding area.
The number of residents of Reed that could qualify to build housing on this site (Parish council and CDA data) amount to three. The dwelling estimate of 21 is not accurate or deliverable.
Previous SHLAA (2015) and site information matrix documents -
NHDC Suitability comment -
" Site capable of delivering residential development. Land apparently subject to trust covenants that it only be used for meeting housing needs arising from the parishes of Reed and Therfield."
NHDC Availability Comment - "Restrictions to only affordable housing may affect viability"
The above critical restrictive restraint information was previously documented in the SHLAA but is now missing from the site information submitted as examination documents. The site fails to meet any availability or achievability test, is not deliverable and as such not compliant with NPPF sec 47criteria relating to development site selection.
