Uncertainty about site allocations in the Plan supports the inclusion of an additional site at Jacobean Lane (site 526). Whilst currently in the Green Belt, the boundary around Knowle is inconsistent, denoted by fences and vegetation. The site is part of and well related to the village, rather than surrounding countryside. A strong, defensible Green Belt Boundary can be established and there are excellent access arrangements. Accessibility is excellent, the site is Brownfield and the reasons for excluding the site are not justified.
Same approach as is being applied to School Road in Hockley Heath should be applied in this case.
Include site 526 at Jacobean Lane as an allocation.
