The Assessment of Sites in the Green Belt report prepared by Crestwood Environmental has now been published by the Council. This report, however, was not available at the start of the consultation period. We welcome the findings that the towns would not coalesce if site was developed and that the site presently has limited or no countryside function.

The land at Codham Hall appears to have been considered within two parts. This does not reflect the current area for allocation as proposed in Figure 8.2 or the 'Site Allocations Maps'. There is presently inconsistency in these areas and it is essential that changes are made to accurate reflect the area of existing uses on site.

The uses at Codham Hall are existing uses and appear to have been treated as such within the Highway Modelling. This is support given that the formal allocation will allow the existing use to continue and will therefore not result in significant numbers of potential new trips as is the case with those sites newly allocated for employment.

It is in our view correct that the highway modelling focuses on these sites. We would, however, continue to emphasise the need for any future highway proposals to continue to allow the successful operation of the site at Codham Hall in order to support the businesses and employment opportunities provided on site.
