Site has several constraints that will compromise deliverability and capacity as set out in DSP:
- Performs moderately in Green Belt terms, scoring highly in relation to purpose 2 ‘to prevent neighbouring towns merging into one another’.
- Does not have a clear contiguous defensible Green Belt boundary to the south (paragraph 609).
- SA concludes that there are several constraints for this allocation including:
i. > 20ha of best and most versatile agricultural land;
ii. up to 50% of the site lies within flood zones 2 or 3,
iii. within an area of high landscape sensitivity to change;
iv. a heritage asset on site; and
v. sources of noise adjacent to the site that could affect the amenity of future occupiers.
As site is heavily constrained, in particular by Flood Zones 2&3, and due to site's landscape sensitivity, doubtful whether it can deliver its full capacity at an appropriate density.
SHELAA indicates that there are numerous land ownerships of this site, which is likely to delay
delivery.
