On behalf of the landowner, the allocation of this site is welcomed.

The site is considered to be developable within 3-5 years. Baseline surveys and feasibility work undertaken have established the deliverability of the site. There are no fundamental physical constraints for the delivery of the site, with a formalised direct access now in situ.

We agree that the site currently makes a low contribution to the purposes of including land within the Green Belt. Development of the site would enable a far stronger, more defendable and permanent Green Belt boundary to be defined.

The site should more appropriately be identified as exhibiting ‘low’ potential for urban sprawl. It is well contained by surrounding existing development on all sides. The golf course provides a strong prevention to future sprawl south into the Green Belt.
