Draft Policy SA5 omits Land off Bridgnorth Road, Wightwick as an allocation. There are no technical or environmental reasons why Land off Bridgnorth Road cannot be allocated, with the only concerns raised in the assessment of the site in the Housing Site Selection Paper either considered to be unfounded or able to be dealt with through detailed design and masterplanning.
Having reconsidered Green Belt purposes of Land off Bridgnorth Road against the site itself, the contribution of the site to Green belt purposes is far more limited than the wider parcel S59C. Similarly the individual assessment of landscape sensitivity of the site is lower than the Landscape Study suggests for the wider parcel. The site could be developed via an existing access for the dwelling named Cherringham with minimal impact on the tree belt.
Land off Bridgnorth Road is developable and easily deliverable within the early part of the SSLPR Plan period.
