The Local Plan Review evidence base generally supports the allocation of site 6 but underestimates its benefits within a sustainable settlement with services and facilities in easy reach, which offers planning gain from removal of the existing use, firm defensible Green Belt boundary following physical features with visual enhancement potential. The SHELAA suitability assessment does not accurately reflect the site's suitability, as there is no known contamination/landfill, no explanation is provided re ground conditions or bad neighbour constraints and it is not a builders yard, and the EA flood map shows only 1% of the site within zone 3.
