Residential development to the north and central core of the village are<br />
denser than the southern area consisting of two storey semi-detached<br />
estate style housing to the north and a more traditional vernacular style in<br />
the centre.<br />
The site is located in an area of low density residential properties. It<br />
contributes to the sense of tranquility and rural and is an important feature<br />
in the local amenity. The site in its entirety does not lend itself comfortably<br />
for large scale housing development.<br />
There are several mature trees within the site boundary. Trees are a very<br />
important feature in this area so issues of design and landscape need<br />
careful consideration. If propose for development it is likely to be<br />
appropriate to serve a TPO on these trees as they have high amenity<br />
value.<br />
Ensure that all mature trees are designed into the areas of public open<br />
space within the scheme and that there are no changes of level within the<br />
RPA (root protection areas) so that the mature trees can be retained.<br />
Electricity- ENWL have a commitment to provide an electricity supply to<br />
new build development. ENWL determine the cost of connection and the<br />
developer would be expected to contribute part or all of this cost. <strong>Site</strong>s<br />
closer to sub-stations and existing developments are likely to result in lower<br />
connection costs. Further information is required to provide a detailed<br />
response.<br />
Gas - No capacity issues have been identified. It should be possible to<br />
supply sites on an individual basis from the existing low pressure<br />
system. However, to provide a firm response detailed information is<br />
required.<br />
There are no problems with the foul water network.<br />
There are no problems with the fresh water network.<br />
