As stated in our response to Policy AP01, some forms of development should be appropriate in a Green Wedge, however the purposes of the Green Wedge should be considered, to the extent that any policy is considered, when assessing the merits of any proposed development. The Local Plan includes the Green Wedge designation and as such its inclusion within both Policy AP01 and AP03 is entirely irrelevant and should therefore be deleted.
An amendment to this policy could also include an exception criteria to facilitate small self and custom build projects on the edge of the settlement boundaries.

The small paddock between Scraptoft Gorse and Square Spinney, situated to the south of Covert Lane appears to have been allocated as ‘Natural and Semi Natural Green Space’ within the allocation plan. This field is entirely within private ownership and should not be allocated as green space. Public access is limited to the public right of way (PRoW) and the site is entirely unsuitable for sports and recreation. No wider public access will be allowed on this site and as such it should not form part of the natural and semi-natural greenspace allocation for the District.
Remove the allocation of the small paddock between Scraptoft Gorse and Square Spinney, south of Covert Lane from ‘Natural and Semi Natural Green Space’.
