Appendix 5: Detailed Site Assessment Tablesdevelopment of land within the Green Belt.Availability andAchievabilitySite CapacityThe site is available for development in the short term and could be developed within 5 years.There are no identified barriers to development of this land.The site consists of a gently sloping area of green open space.Based on 500m2 pitch sizes (including for internal circulation, residents and visitor parking), the site of 10.5ha would have aholding capacity of 210 pitches, suitable for a permanent site. Guidance recommends that a maximum site size of 15 permanentpitches should be established for management purposes. This would enable a far smaller area of land to be developed than isavailable.The site could alternatively accommodate transit pitches. Based on 200m2 pitch sizes the site of 10.5ha would have a holdingcapacity of 525 pitches. Guidance recommends that a maximum site size of 15 transit pitches should be established for sitemanagement purposes. This would enable a far smaller area of land to be developed than is available.Recommendation The site is in a highly exposed location. This site would remove a significant area of open space at this location,significantly encroaching into the open countryside.The site should not be taken forward for allocation.
