Site has several constraints that will compromise deliverability and capacity as set out in DSP:
- Performs moderately in the Green Belt, with the eastern part falling within a highly performing area of
the Green Belt Assessment.
- GB severance: DSP states that as this parcel will be cut off from the main part of the land by the line of HS2, thus will reduce the sites contribution to Green Belt purposes.
- 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 medium landscape sensitivity to change;
iv. a heritage asset on site
v. within a mineral safeguarding area;
vi. sources of noise adjacent to the site that could affect the amenity of future occupiers; and
vii. separated from key economic assets.
Doubtful whether it can deliver its full capacity; unclear impact of Flood Zones on site’s ability to come forward. Unclear extent of impact of heritage sites on deliverability. Doubt over ability to deliver 875 homes within plan period.
