Representation Summary:

The Green Belt Signposting Document perhaps understates the role of parcel 44 (of which the site is part) with regards to green belt purpose 1.

When looking at parcel 44, it is clear that some sites are more important than others, with respect to upholding green belt purpose 1. And, in HPD’s opinion, BI3/H is one of the least important sites within parcel 44 when it comes to fulfilling this important purpose. It is not
therefore logical that the site itself is assessed as “major” against this green belt purpose and it is suggested that it should be reassessed as “moderate”.

Purpose 3 - it is suggested that the “major” assessment of the site be aligned with the “moderate” assessment of the parcel of which it is part, since there is no obvious reason for this discrepancy.
