2.6 Green Wedge (e) Between Glenfield towards Beaumont Leys, Anstey and Groby

Parcel A

Proposed Allocation Sites

  • GLE030 is a cross boundary site connecting to allocations in Charnwood and Leicester City. It would be a requirement for the development to be planned comprehensively with these other areas. It is understood green wedge would be retained in Charnwood that would extend to the built-up area of the allocation. Development of the area within Blaby District may occupy the majority of the land and affect the functionality of the parcel.

Scoring Impact:

Negative impacts to Purpose1 (preventing the merging of settlements) and Purpose 2 (Guiding Development Form) from Moderate, to None/Weak (some contribution could potentially be retained depending on the detailed layout). Potential for biodiversity and green infrastructure to be incorporated into the development to retain some contribution to Purpose 3 (Green Lung), as well as some publicly accessible open space which could improve the contribution to Purpose 4 (Recreation Resource).

Cumulative Impact of Proposed Allocation Sites in Parcel:

N/A. Only one site is within the parcel.
