The site is allocated for approximately 10 residential units (including 35% affordable homes). Development will be permitted where:
- Areas at risk from all sources of flooding are avoided and mitigated, through the following measures:
- undertake a technical investigation and assessment of all sources of flooding (including surface water and groundwater) to determine flood risk management measures to ensure sustainable development, and
- provide on-site sustainable drainage systems (SuDS).
- Areas at risk of contamination are avoided and mitigated, through the following measures:
- undertake a Phase I contaminated land report and/or Landfill gas and leachate investigation and risk assessment, to estimate the level of contamination risk, and where necessary, undertaking a Phase II report; and
- undertake a Remediation/Gas Mitigation Plan and a Remediation/Mitigation Verification Report, if required, and
- incorporate any necessary mitigation measures into the design of the proposal.
- Noise implications due to the site’s proximity to an A-road are assessed, through the following measures:
- undertake an acoustic report,
- take account of any mitigation required in the design of the proposal.
- Green infrastructure and a minimum 10% biodiversity net gain are provided.
- Habitat connectivity through the site and to the wider area is provided.
- Archaeological impacts are avoided and mitigated, through the following measures:
- undertake an appropriate desk-based archaeological assessment, and
- where necessary, undertake a field evaluation in order to avoid and mitigate any impacts.
- Measures to avoid and mitigate the impact of residential development upon habitats sites are undertaken, in agreement with the Council and Natural England. This will include securing Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace (SANG) of at least 8ha per 1,000 new population to be provided in perpetuity and a financial contribution towards Strategic Access Management and Monitoring (SAMM) measures.
The Plan should be read as a whole and the identified requirements should be provided in a manner compliant with the generic policies in the Plan.
