Some added points researched for Wood Street site allocations

Land at 148 Broad Street Ref 115

The land is outside the village settlement boundary
The land is located within the Green Belt
The land is not even adjoining the Settlement Boundary and is therefore not eligible as an exception for building houses
Loss of the industrial use would result in the loss of local employment
The only access is via a single track lane. Widening this lane would trespass on to common land either side.
The lane crosses the pavement to access the road . This pavement is used by school children and pedestrians.
The site is close to the village Infant School. School children and pedestrians are forced to cross over at the end of the pavement at the bottom of Oak Hill which is already a dangerous crossing point with cars speeding along Broad Street and down Oak Hill at this point.

The land is outside the Village Settlement Boundary despite the comment on the site proforma
The land is located within the Green Belt of the local plan
Although Policy H12 permits an exception to normal policy if the land is adjacent to a settlement boundary, this only applies if the type of housing is all affordable housing and the site does not exceed 0.4 hectares. This site is 5.62 hectares
Loss of the industrial site would result in a loss of local employment
