Chesterford Park Local Policy 1
A Development Zone of 15.59 hectares is identified on the inset map. Facilities for research and development will be permitted within the zone if all the following criteria apply:
- They are compatible with its rural parkland setting;
- The proposals include a comprehensive landscaping scheme to help assimilate development into the park setting;
- The Mansion, The Garden House and Emanuel Cottage and their settings are conserved;
- A comprehensive traffic impact assessment of the full development potential demonstrates that the movement likely to be generated can be properly accommodated on the surrounding transport network and that measures are proposed to ensure that as high a proportion of journeys as is reasonably feasible in the context of the site will be by modes other than the private car;
- The transport needs of the development can be accommodated whilst maintaining or improving road safety and the surrounding environmental conditions for the local community with a minimum of impact on the countryside.
Developers will be required to prepare a comprehensive master plan for the site to indicate how specific proposals, which may be implemented on a phased basis, relate to an overall design concept for the site. It will also indicate the full development potential of the site as constrained by the development zone boundary. The master plan will be subject to public consultation. Development will need to be implemented in accordance with such a master plan approved by the Council.
