I think this site should be developed. It was once an opening through to the wider countryside, however I believe its contribution to the countryside aesthetic is now out-weighed by the need for more housing in the future. Furthermore I believe the relatively new houses either side cannot really draw on the 'countryside' argument to fend off future development because they themselves are relatively new and would most likely once have been built on land where previously there once wasn't already building. Pedestrian routes and environmental considerations should be observed, but I believe development should be considered inevitable.
