Fulford Hall Farm (site reference 313) is given a score ‘9’ with regards to Step 1 of the site selection process and therefore considered not suitable for allocation.
We have concerns with the robustness and methodology used for the Green Belt Assessment, the findings of which have been taken forward to inform the Sites Assessment. All Broad Areas are automatically given a score of 3 which is fundamentally flawed and lacks detail. Our assessment demonstrates that there would be a limited impact on purpose 3 of the Green Belt designation but it would not undermine the performance of remaining Green Belt in the safeguarding the countryside from encroachment.
The Fulford Hall Farm site should be categorised as priority 6 – “Greenfield in accessible moderately performing Green Belt Location” and not priority level 9.
A reassessment of the Green Belt options needs to be undertaken. A robust long-term Green Belt boundary around Tidbury Green needs to be identified taking account of the exceptional circumstances arising from the Borough’s development needs. Land at Fulford Hall Farm should be removed from the Green Belt and allocated for development.
