We can be flexible on the number of houses in order to meet the Local Plan requirements for a settlement of this size and any constraints raised. The HELAA assessment is incorrect as it is not high quality grade 2 agricultural land. It is grass scrubland of low quality having previously being used as quarry. Similarly loss of green space is minimal as village is surrounded by agricultural land. It is a perfect infill site in the middle of the village, it is not an encroachment into agricultural land or towards other settlements. There will be no adverse impact on character of the village and any development will involve a sensitive and sympathetic improvement to the streetscape.
