Continued approach to see Dickens Heath perform the role of a soft sponge for soaking up more and more housing to avoid having to find sites elsewhere. The expansion breaches the fundamental principle of preventing the merging of settlements. Majors Green should remain well separated from Dickens Heath and housing development along Tythe Barn Lane out to Tilehouse Lane would be a fatal erosion of that Green Belt gap. Dickens Heath centre is also in need of a fresh examination if it is to cope with any more housing.
