Consider that land at the Chase Gate Public House on Wolverhampton Road, Cannock should be removed from the Green Belt and included within the settlement boundary of Wheaton Aston. We also consider that the land to the north of the Chase Gate should be allocated for housing within the new Local Plan in order to meet the Council's small sites duty. The southern parcel comprises PDL and visually appears to form the built up area of Wedges Mills and not part of the open countryside. it does not serve any of the purposes of including land in the Green Belt and the Green Belt Study should have identified the site as very low harm. Its poor performance in terms of Green Belt is in itself the exceptional circumstances for Green Belt release. Our clients land offers an opportunity to deliver much needed additional land for housing in a highly sustainable location on the edge of the built-up urban area. This represents further exceptional circumstance which justifies the removal of the land from the Green Belt.
