Representation Summary:
GIS-led: invariably tends to not account for a number of site specific and setting related factors. The site has scored 'red' (secondary schools and GP surgeries). The assessments methodology: GP is >800m away, and a secondary school is >3.5 km. The NPPF and PPG both make allowances for more rural locations. Green Belt- binary approach- If a site falls within the defined Green Belt, it will be given an 'Amber'. We consider further assessment of site's individual effect on openness and permanence at the early plan-making stage needed. Site 071, performs well when compared to other sites, sequential method needed.
