Welcome deletion of the ‘Amber’ sites concept and support site 104 at Blue Lake Road being a ‘Red’ (omission) site.
The site performs an important Green Belt function in checking the unrestricted sprawl of a large built up areas and safeguarding the countryside from encroachment.
The Council’s site assessment score is incorrect and should be scored a 9, which recognises the potential for the adverse impacts that would result from development of the site.
Provision of a suitable access would be difficult and compound harm to this sensitive site, impacting on the local road network and character of the area.
