Do not agree that SHELAA Site 131 should be red but green after the Step 2 refinement criteria.
We assume that the Step 2 Assessment will have scored the site highly in terms of 'Factors in Favour' given the lack of hard constraints (and limited soft constraints) and that it comprises part of a 'Lower Performing Refined Parcel' (with a combined score of 3 against the 'threshold' score for lower performing parcels of a
combined score of 5).
The site complies with the Spatial Strategy in the 2016 DLP:
Not subject to any overriding hard constraints
Category 2 not 3 SHELAA site - Vision document shows how concerns can be mitigated.
Site would not breach strong defensible Green Belt boundaries, as not GB parcel boundaries not considered strong in the Green Belt assessment.
Site is in accessible location.
Landscape Character does not have very low capacity.
Sustainability Appraisal is generally favourable, and negative impacts can be overcome.
