The site at Land South of Redrose Lane, Blackmore (076) should be released from the Green Belt in order to meet the existing and future housing and socio-economic requirements within Blackmore.
- The site is well screened, with defensible boundaries on four sides, ensuring that visual impact from the proposals will be minimal, and considerably less than other promoted sites;
- The site does not result in any symptoms of coalescence and is located within an area of established residential character, that presents itself as a logical extension to the existing settlement boundary;
- The site does not perform the function of preserving the setting and special character of a historic town or any assets of historic value;
- No environmental or ecological constraints have been identified on the site that would prevent its development for residential use; and
- The proposals would result in a number of significant socio-economic community benefits.
