ENP-SA3: Land at ‘Orchard Walls’, Beech Avenue

Location The northern corner of the junction of Beech Avenue with Beech Close

Allocation: Residential for up to 6 homes

The Neighbourhood Plan supports development of up to 6 new homes on this site replacing the existing house (a net increase of 5) subject to:

  • Compliance with policies ENP-G2, ENP-H2 and ENP-R1 of this Neighbourhood Plan.
  • Design to be in keeping with the buildings in the nearby Effingham Conservation Area, including the Grade II listed buildings, and maintaining the shared red-brick boundary wall which runs along the boundary of Effingham Conservation Area.
  • Demonstration that the setting of Effingham Conservation Area, and the character and appearance of Beech Avenue and Beech Close, are preserved and enhanced by the development.
  • The landscaping and layout of any proposal should conserve, as far as possible, the beech hedging along the boundary to preserve the character of the Beech Avenue area.
  • The main vehicular access is not on to Beech Avenue, to avoid worsening traffic problems along this busy narrow road.
