SHLAA RYH10: Land to the rear of Hilltop Cottage, Essendine Road, Ryhall.

The site has been scored 'red’ as Logical Extension to Settlement. However, the logical extension assessment states that if the site is edged on 1 or 2 sides then it is assessed as being ‘amber’. Furthermore, development has taken place to the south of the Site which has incrementally resulted in the village extending northwards.
Moreover, the presence of the existing commercial premises, which is flanked by two residential properties, to the north, whilst separated from the Site by a wedged shaped field does mean there is a not inconsiderable built up area beyond the Site. The proposal Site would neatly ‘fill in’ the next logical northern extension of the village.
It is therefore considered that the issues identified by the Council in their assessment as being ‘amber’ would not prohibit the allocation and eventual development of the site. Indeed, as set out above it is considered that the scoring needs to be adjusted to take into account factors which the Council have overlooked, and factual errors. All of these issues can be dealt with through the provision of additional information to a planning application

All site appraisals have been reviewed in the light of comments and further evidence received to determine their suitability for allocation.

The proposed development strategy for Rutland directs only a small level of growth in comparison is directed to the Larger Villages and smaller villages and hamlets. Some villages are in close proximity to the main settlements of the District and have a range of services themselves while benefiting from close proximity to employment and other facilities offered by the larger settlements. Ryhall is one such settlement.

Silverley are therefore of the view that the Council should look to deliver a greater number of smaller allocations to ensure that there is a supply of housing that can be built out sooner within the plan period while ensuring that by bringing forward smaller sites, the character of the village is retained. The site in Ryhall is one such site which would deliver a small number of dwellings, and could be built out relatively quickly, particularly as there are no undue physical constraints on development.

Comments noted.

In line with their promotion of Land to the rear of Hilltop Cottage, Essendine Road, Ryhall, Silverley advocate that the site should be included within the settlement boundary of Ryhall as part of the allocation of the site for small scale residential development and public open space.

The proposed PLD around Ryhall is considered the most appropriate and up-to-date delineation between the built framework of the village and surrounding open countryside, drawn in accordance with methodology established by the PLD Review Study 2023. That methodology clarifies the criteria used to determine whether amendment to the 2014 line is appropriate. The site lies outside any recognisable residential or commercial curtilage and does not therefore meet with criterion In.F. In the absence of a housing allocation or extant planning permission the methodology would not indicate that the PLD should be altered in this circumstance and therefore remains outside the revised PLD.
