Allocation BVP Blythe valley park, for between 59,000 and 99,000 sqm Mixed B use, this allocation is directly covering and would destroy part of LWS Blythe Valley County Park, and adjoin other LWS’s, with no proposals for buffers on the edge of the employment allocation. The site is also green belt and the proposed employment need is vague varying by 40,000sqm, in line with these tests of soundness this figure should be based on an employment need for the area and to support housing need. An allocation for the lower figure would have less of an environmental impact and could include an area not designated as a Local Wildlife Site.
