Significant impacts from the need to provide for suitable access which would compound harm to this sensitive site. Access would be difficult given the nature of surrounding roads and impact on the character of the area.

Site Selection Methodology

The Amber sites are not identified as having any particular purpose and the whole concept of Amber sites is considered to be flawed.
Key weakness in the approach is the reference to the scoring of Green Belt purposes. the Site Hierarchy Criteria has artificially moderated these scores, increasing the scoring base to 5 for lower performing Green Belt sites, condensing moderately performing sites to just 6 or 7, and increasing the range for higher performing sites to 8 or more.
