Land to North and South of Hill Wootton Road, Leek Wootton, reference 116 should NOT be considered as an HELAA preferred area for development as it provides separation between the village and the A46 dual-carriageway. The Green Belt review (LWT2) assessed it to have a STRONG contribution to "assist in safeguarding the countryside from encroachment".
The land has higher than average Agricultural Land Quality (Grade 2), so identifying as a preferred area would contravene the requirement to "protect best and most versatile agricultural land".
At 21.14 hectares, the land would disproportionately increase the Leek Wootton settlement by more than 30%.
