Part of Site BL1 (parcel south of Tythe Barn Lane) objected to on number of grounds:
Green Belt:
- Land within highly performing Green Belt
- Green Belt Assessment not been taken into account
- Government has consistently committed to protecting the Green Belt, and unmet housing demand is unlikely to outweigh harm to Green Belt.
- Green Belt should only be released as last resort.
- Site BL1 does not accord with Government policy on Green Belt, in particular Para.’s 133, 134 (b), 135 (c).
- Site BL1 would be contrary to Challenge E, in particular safeguarding ‘the key gaps between settlements such as the Meriden Gap and the countryside.”
- Green Belt sites with score of 6 or lower should be prioritised for release in the site selection process.
- Council not fully examined the infrastructure requirements that would justify and mitigate altering the Green Belt in this location.
