The development proposals for the site include the following:

  • Up to 230 new homes - including the provision of affordable homes for the local community, alongside a range of family homes and homes for first time buyers; 

  • Provision of 50% affordable housing on site; 

  • A substantial green infrastructure network – including generous green buffers around the eastern perimeter of the site, green areas between the development plots, retention of existing hedgerows and trees where possible, and green corridors and linkages creating new opportunities for ecological enhancement; 

  • New footways and cycleways through the site to provide permeability and connect the site to the wider area; 

  • Safe, new vehicular accesses from Chew Moor Lane;​ 

  • Pedestrian and cycle links – including the improvement of the Public Right of Way through the centre of the southern field parcel and eastern edge of the northern field parcel.

Illustrative Masterplan

Access and Movement

  • Two new vehicular accesses via Chew Moor Lane along the western boundaries providing access loops through the site; 

  • Pedestrian and cycle links – including the retention and enhancement of the Public Right of Way through the site.

  • The proposals will promote sustainable travel to nearby facilities and services. 

  • The application will be supported by a full Transport Assessment. It will be informed by surveys to assess the local highway capacity. It will also establish whether any mitigation may be required. 

Heritage

 

The site contains no heritage assets and is not near any Conservation Areas. The proposal therefore poses no threat to heritage.

Technical Considerations

  • Providing 50% affordable housing to deliver an inclusive community. 

  • Provision of new sustainable travel routes through the site to encourage walking and cycling. 

  • New tree planting and areas of open space, providing net gains for biodiversity.
