The Council will need to identify additional sites to meet the increased housing need. Land at Winterton Farm, Blythe Valley offers an opportunity for the future expansion of Blythe Valley Park. There is potential to create a footpath link through the site between Blythe Valley Park development and Cheswick Green to link settlements and improve accessibility.
The site has not been assessed within the Council’s updated Site Assessment (October 2020). It is considered that the constraints identified in the Council’s previous Site Assessment (January 2019) can be overcome. The site is located within a moderately performing Green Belt parcel, is highly accessible and was assessed as having 9 positive, 3 neutral and 5 negative effects in the Sustainability Assessment.
Land at Winterton Farm, Blythe Valley (SHELAA reference 173) should be considered for a residential allocation.
