Representation Summary:

This site provides an opportunity to provide flexibility in order to make up the acknowledged shortfall in housing provision but site limits and the level of flexibility suggested (5%) severely restricts this.

The extent of this site should be increased in a southerly direction to allow for redevelopment of dwellings in the rural settlement area. This would increase levels of housing provision and provide a more defensible Green Belt boundary at the road edge.

The proposed Green Belt boundary does not rely on permanent features and is not therefore easily defensible as required by the National Planning Policy Framework.
