The Sustainability Appraisal, through its analyses states that site 033 performs poorly ('Red') against Conservation Area criterion. Again, this is a blanket assessment based purely on the fact that the site is located within the Hutton Village Conservation Area. This is considered arbitrary. It is considered that a high quality residential development scheme on the scale proposed could be accommodated within the site without adversely impacting on the character and appearance of the Conservation Area. Suggest the Sustainability Appraisal is amended to acknowledge that depending on implementation the site will not adversely impact in this regard.
