This site has been designated as an important open space in the recent past and should continue as such.
The "unkempt appearance" of the western end as described by APC does in fact encourage wildlife, e.g. these are numerous anthills in this area.
This is the AONB after all.
Furthermore, plans have already been approved for the building of 10 flats in a green space very close by, with an affordable percentage as a condition of development. Developments should be spread out around the village and the draft plan is fair in this respect.
Overall the plan is fair and reasonable, with due weight being given to environmental issues as befits a beautiful AONB.
We support the plan in its present form and it should be taken forward without amendment.
