Further protection of the gap could be achieved through the designation of the undeveloped parcels of land as Village Green Land.

It is proposed that a large portion of the site (the proposed village green and existing ancient forest) will remain as open land and therefore continue to act as a natural barrier separating the two built up areas, whilst maintaining the openness of the countryside. Further protection of the gap could be achieved through the designation of the undeveloped parcels of land as Village Green Land. This would prevent future development of the land and therefore prevent encroachment on the open countryside.
