Red site 62: Land Adjacent Shirley Golf Course.
This Priority 5 site in the council's site hierarchy should be identified as a 'green site', as the assessment for Site 62 does not support the Step 2 refinement from potential allocation to a site with significant harmful impacts. There are no significant impacts on the green belt, as the gap between settlements would not be reduced and is much greater than maintained from other allocations, or on landscape character, as other sites allocated in the same LCA Area and there is no finer-grained assessment. Site should be categorised as high accessibility rather than medium/high, as footway can be provided and Accessibility Mapping score of 40 is incorrect, should be 100. Site has a strong defensible boundary with the golf course to the south.
