The site is poorly defined and relies on hedgerows/trees along field boundaries to denote its perimeter. The eastern boundary is especially weak in terms of a natural boundary as parts of it run through an open field. It is therefore not possible to identify a permanent defensible boundary. Classification: OFFICIAL Classification: OFFICIAL Green Belt Purpose Assessment Not Applicable Exceptional Circumstances Assessment Not Applicable Classification: OFFICIAL Classification: OFFICIAL Chiltern and South Bucks Green Belt Assessment Part Two Reference No. Area Name Hectares 2.34 4.003 Land at the Oak House Paddock Way Ashley Green Part One General Area No. 13b Boundary Assessment It is not possible to identify a boundary that is permanent and defensible in accordance with NPPF requirements. The boundary is formed by the garden boundaries of properties fronting the main village roads. The boundary to the south is made up of what appear to be former overgrown orchards. As such none of the boundaries of the proposed area are NPPF compliant. Classification: OFFICIAL Classification: OFFICIAL Green Belt Purpose Assessment Not Applicable Exceptional Circumstances Assessment Not Applicable Classification: OFFICIAL Classification: OFFICIAL Chiltern and South Bucks Green Belt Assessment Part Two Reference No. Area Name Hectares 0.36 4.004 Plot of Land between Coblands House and Marlin Grove, Ashley Green Part One General Area No. 13b Boundary Assessment It is not possible to identify a boundary that is permanent and defensible in accordance with NPPF requirements. The site has a road frontage to the A416. The eastern boundary is formed by a garden hedge. The southern boundary is formed by a fence line between the proposed site and the residential property to the south. The northern boundary is formed by a partial hedge and partial fence line. The road frontage is a defensible boundary however the other boundaries are not permanent features. As such it is not possible to define a boundary that is permanent or defensible. Classification: OFFICIAL Classification: OFFICIAL Green Belt Purpose Assessment Not Applicable Exceptional Circumstances Assessment Not Applicable Classification: OFFICIAL Classification: OFFICIAL Chiltern and South Bucks Green Belt Assessment Part Two Reference No. Area Name Hectares 4.50 4.005 Ashley Green – Land adjacent to Ashley Green Road Part One General Area No. 13b Boundary Assessment It is not possible to identify a boundary that is permanent and defensible in accordance with NPPF requirements. The boundary appears to follow the roadside hedge line to the west. Residential boundaries exist to the north and south. The eastern boundary does not appear to follow any feature on the ground cutting straight across an open field. A field hedge line is apparent further to the east, however even if the hedge line was followed it wouldn’t form an NPPF compliant boundary. Therefore it is not possible to define a boundary that is permanent and defensible in accordance with NPPF requirements.

The boundary appears to follow former field boundary hedges around the property Pressmore Lodge and its associated commercial buildings. Only the hedge to the front follows a permanent feature, the service road to this property and Pressmore farm. None of the other boundaries would form an NPPF compliant boundary. Therefore it is not possible to define a boundary that is permanent and defensible in accordance with NPPF requirements.

The site has a boundary to the village road (un-named) the road frontage is partially open. To the south west the boundary appears to be a hedge line to the rear of an ancillary building associated with Rose Cottage. The southern boundary initially follows a residential hedge line and then the boundary appears to follow a former field boundary hedge. The eastern boundary is another field boundary hedge. The boundary then goes to the west along the rear of residential properties fronting the village street. The boundaries being a combination of hedges a group of trees and a boundary fence. The proposed site boundary then re-joins the road frontage to the south west of Ivydeane. The boundary hedges are not defensible boundaries and as such it is not possible to define a boundary that is permanent and defensible in accordance with NPPF.

Although the site is bounded to the south and west by established residential development the north and north west boundary is soft and offers no defensibility. Additionally, the access corridor to the site fails to demonstrate any defensible boundary to the north as it runs through open fields. A durable boundary around the site cannot be identified.

Cherry Tree Lane provides a permanent and defensible boundary to the south of the site. Relatively defensible boundaries are provided to the north and east by established dwellings. However the western boundary is neither permanent nor defensible as it is a soft boundary which borders open public land in the form of green space, a play area and allotments. Classification: OFFICIAL Classification: OFFICIAL Green Belt Purpose Assessment Not Applicable Exceptional Circumstances Not Applicable Classification: OFFICIAL Classification: OFFICIAL Chiltern and South Bucks Green Belt Assessment Part Two Reference No. Area Name Hectares 4.010 Land Adjacent and to the South East 0.23 of Elmcroft Part One General Area No. 8g Boundary Assessment It is not possible to identify a boundary that is permanent and defensible in accordance with NPPF requirements. Chartridge Lane provides a permanent and defensible boundary to the south and a relatively defensible boundary is provided to the west by an existing dwelling. However it is considered that no permanent and defensible boundaries are evident to the north, which is an open field, or the east, which is a private garden separated from the site by hedging. There are no natural durable features which could mark the boundary instead and so an NPPF compliant boundary cannot be identified.
