The settlement development limit has been designated to take account of land with extant planning permission for housing and sites that have not yet been approved but are at a stage in the planning application process where there is reasonable expectation that approval will be granted. A settlement development limit has been drawn to consolidate the 3 existing nodes and to provide opportunities for new development adjacent to Glen Villas appropriate to Glen's role while protecting the extremely attractive natural setting of the settlement.
