CFS ref: 328 Land at and r/o 84, 86 & 90 School Road, Hockley Heath Supports removal of site from green belt. Unless the change were made, site 49 would be an isolated 'island' of Green Belt land surrounded by built development. However believes it should be removed irrespective of whether the allocation of land south of School Road is confirmed. Land is bounded by extensive built development to the west and east and partially to the north. Is a small gap within otherwise largely built up area. site does not extend beyond current extent of Hockley Heath. Is not within open countryside, bounded on three sides. Row of trees on the frontage would be retained. Would not conflict with green belt purposes of preserving the historic setting of towns or assisting in urban regeneration. Site should be specifically allocated for residential development due to its accessibility and lack of site specific constraints. Has no viable use as part of an agricultural holding and would assist in diversifying housing supply in accordance with the NPPF.
