No impact.

  • WHE027 is situated further to the South of the Parcel and outside the designation and does not affect the scoring.

Scoring Impact:

No impact.

Cumulative Impact of Proposed Allocation Sites in Parcel:

Development of the preferred sites has the potential to significantly diminish the open and undeveloped character between the settlements. Sensitive design would be required to adequately maintain links between parcels and the overall strategic Green Wedge function. Substantial alterations to the wedge boundaries are likely to be required to accommodate development. The size of the sites however may afford increased opportunities for public access onto open space and land for recreation purposes.

Impact of Proposed Sites on Parcel Scoring:

GW (b) Parcel B

Purpose 1 Moderate/Strong Moderate

Purpose 2 Moderate Weak/Moderate

Purpose 3 Moderate/Strong Moderate/Strong

Purpose 4 Moderate/Strong Strong

Existing Contribution With Allocation Impacts

Reserve Sites:

  • EBLA003 encroaches beyond the boundary defined by the A426 and would affect openness to a degree, however would remain in line with the existing development at Rose Way. This would reduce space between settlement and introduce further development East of Lutterworth Road, however the wider wedge with defensible boundaries would remain and be able to continue to function strategically.

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.
