Horsham Properties note that the GNLP Settlement Summary suggests settlement boundaries will only be extended where development already exists on a site. Due to the presence of engineering operations and landscaping, required in connection with an implemented planning permission which extended the business park to the north, we would regard the allocated land to have a form and function which connects to the existing settlement and thus the settlement limits should be extended to enclose it.

However, notwithstanding the GNLP's position on land to the west, we request that, as a minimum, the settlement boundaries are amended to include L-block and its operational land in the north. The land and buildings have been built, but are not presently included in the settlement limits of the village as shown on the revised Site Proposals maps in the New, Revised and Small Sites Consultation. Given that this building, and associated land around it presently function as part of the operational business park, they should clearly be included within the settlement limits extension.
