5.76 The site was removed from the Green Belt and allocated for development in the Core Strategy. The extent of the site allocation and policy requirements responded to key elements of the evidence base relating to the harm to the World Heritage Site and its setting, as well as important heritage assets such as the Wansdyke. Phase 1 of the allocation is nearing completion and there is a current planning application for the comprehensive masterplan and for phases 3 and 4. It is a very sensitive development site and given that the evidence relating to harm has not changed, it is not proposed to amend this site allocation.
Option A
Retain existing policy; continue to protect the field to the south of the Wansdyke and the field to the east, next to Southstoke Lane.
