the corner of Desford Road and Ratby Lane as well as the vehicular storage premises in the Western part of the parcel). Rothley Brook and its floodplain would provide some mitigation and remain as a permanent feature safeguarding an area of separation along the northern part of the land and help to guide development form. Notwithstanding this due to its size and location, the site would be a prominent interrupting feature within the parcel. It may also be necessary to consider designation boundary amendments beyond the site itself, as the Western part of the parcel might no longer be suitable to be retained to the same extent.
