Site 283, the key determinant in the Sustainability Appraisal and Site Assessment is the potential for major negative impacts in relation to landscape criteria due to Green Belt harm.

Concerns raised into why the Green Belt assessment has been used as a criteria for the sustainability appraisal rather than the Landscape Sensitivity assessment.

Bloor Homes finds that the site affords less of a contribution to the Green Belt than the wider land parcel of S72.

The release of this land from the Green Belt for a
proposed development would have an effect on spatial openness, but it is unlikely to have a harmful effect on the visual openness of the Green Belt. Additionally, the
landscape of the site would enable ecological betterment and bio-diversity net gain through habitat creation, formal and informal landscaping.

The site adjoins, and can seamlessly integrate with, an existing sustainable settlement. It is well connected and is within walking distance of the village services and facilities. It also offers a substantial amount of
green infrastructure and landscape enhancements.
