Site 127 should be an allocated site in the Local Plan.
The current assessment for Site 127 is fundamentally flawed and demonstrably wrong. (The correct assessment of Site 127 would render Site 127 "Green" and it is should be included in the Local Plan, in accordance with the Site Selection criteria.
The site is in a sustainable location, there is residential development on site currently, development of the site would have a relatively low impact and any adverse impact can be mitigated.
It would not open up surrounding land for development given the different nature of adjacent and nearby land uses and any development would not encroach onto open countryside. A clear and logical, defensible Green Belt boundary can be created.
Allocate Site 127 in the Local Plan in accordance with the Site Selection Criteria with a redefined Green Boundary along the roads surrounding the site.
Site 127 should be allocated in accordance with the Site Selection Criteria either as an addition to current allocations or to be available as part of the solution to deliverable Housing Need in place of any of the reduced housing availability.
