Confirm support for the allocation of the land surrounding Ashwells Lodge, Doddinghurst. The site has been assessed within the Council's 'Assessment of Potential Housing, Employment and Mixed Use Sites in the Green Belt' and is within a parcel of land that can accommodate more than 10 dwellings. The development of the site would amount to logical rounding off of the settlement boundary and has no greater purpose for the Green Belt than those already suggestion for allocation by the Council.
The site comprises grassland; it has residential development on two sides and the surrounding countryside is of varying character and quality. The majority of the boundaries are well screened, forming a strong natural barrier.
