Village Housing Options and Settlement Boundaries

The current boundary of the allocation does not have regard to the sensitive landscape, the current visual aspect of the land, nor the need to ensure that the development positively contributes to the local environs. As such, the allocation does not have a logical landscape boundary, nor does it contain sufficient land within the allocation to provide environmental enhancement and landscaping on the approach to the village. Instead the allocation boundary follows an ownership boundary around two plots of land. The resultant impact of this is that the edge of the development plot will have a hard residential landscape edge to it rather than a natural landscape buffer that allows the development to interface with both the Conservation Area to the north and the wider landscape to the south and west. Appendix 2 illustrates how the proposed extension of the allocation can achieve this on land owned by Lenco Investments.
