GPA026 – The site sits on the edge of the existing wedge. Development would affect the openness between the two settlements and undermine the defensible nature of this part of the northern boundary, however the presence of the floodplain within the parcel would retain a strong separation between the settlements and continue to guide development form. It would not appear to compromise other assets within the land.
Scoring Impact:
Negative impact on Purpose 1 (Preventing the Merging of Settlements) and Purpose 2 (Guiding Development Form) however not so significant as to alter scoring of parcel.
Both sites within the parcel would have negative impacts on Purpose 1 (Preventing the Merging of Settlements) and Purpose 2 (Guiding Development Form) however the presence of the floodplain within the parcel would retain a strong separation between the settlements and continue to guide development form. This is considered sufficient to retain the current contribution scoring for the parcel.
