Site 1 should not be included within any changed village boundaries. It is on the North side of the A425 and does not therefore form part of the main village. The 1994 Planning Inspectors report stated that this site (site 1) 'is not properly part of the village, being wholly peripheral, the housing in Offchurch Lane with which the development would connect being itself a ribbon extending into the countryside'. The situation has not changed over the intervening years and any change to the envelope should extend the village from its main area rather than providing options for development and infill from peripheral areas.
Extension of the village to the North would effectively create two separate villages dissected by a busy main road and with the significantly sized northern area having no easy access to any of the village amenities which are all based on the southern side of the A425.
