Green Belt Site Assessment:

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

Development of the site would effectively form infill development between the suburban development to the north and west and the retirement village immediately to the east.

The existing topography and tree cover to the south also naturally enclose the site to the south.

It is therefore considered that the site plays only a limited role in meeting the five Green Belt purposes, and it can be developed without harm to the wider Green Belt.
