Object to the green belt site assessment for SH5/H:

While we support the proposed allocation of the site for housing, we disagree with the Council’s assessment of the site against the 5 purposes (for detail see document).

We consider that the impact upon the green belt would be considerably less than that concluded by the Council.

Development of the site will not result in the unrestricted sprawl - it is considered to be infill development rather than extension to the existing settlement. Development of the site will not lead to a greater degree of merging of settlements than the existing situation. The site does not play an important role in safeguarding the countryside from encroachment.
