Having reviewed the methodology and findings of the Part 2 Green Belt Study, it is necessary to re-asses the Dunton Hills site in more detail to allow for the consideration of how the DHGV scheme can provide development that responds to the landscape and Green Belt context. Supporting document identifies that Parcel 17 may be assessed as making a lower contribution to the Green Belt purposes than the Part 2 Study has suggested, making a Moderate contribution to most Green Belt purposes. Dunton Hills Site is considered to make an even lower contribution to
the Green Belt than Parcel 17.

Dunton Hills Site make a lower contribution to the Green Belt than Parcel 17 due to:
- Smaller scale compared to Parcel 17
- The detracting influence of on-site development-buildings, wind turbine, pylons, roads and railway- upon the landscape character and contribution to the countryside
- Separation of site from the built edge and containment by the A127, A128 and railway line
- Opportunities to provide a soft transition with the adjacent landscape, as well as forming a robust and defensible new Green Belt boundary
- Opportunities for a landscape led scheme that provides green infrastructure and landscape enhancement.

DHGV can be delivered to respect the landscape and distinctive features, incorporating measures that would help to mitigate the negative impacts of existing transport infrastructure, whilst strengthening the degraded landscape structure through enhancement of boundaries. As recognised by the Council within the Sustainability Appraisal, development at DHGV has the potential to be delivered as a landscape-led scheme that responds to the topography of the site, provides substantial areas of green infrastructure incorporating accessible multifunctional
green space and landscape planting that respects the local character.
