| Summary of Assessment | The land has dense established tree planting, is undeveloped, and includes a defensible boundary where it is not connected to the neighbouring authority green wedge. The land is not publicly accessible. Regard is had to the relatively small size of the land and that it is a part of the larger wedge in Hinckley and Bosworth District. As such, its status should be considered together with any proposals affecting the neighbouring authority Green Wedge. Parcel A is considered to make Moderate contributions to Purposes 1 and 2, a Weak to Moderate contribution to Purpose 3, and Weak contribution to Purpose 4. | |

| Recommendation | The parcel should be retained subject to consideration of development needs, however | |
