Site characteristics Located on the western edge of the village of Portinscale, the site is an agricultural field accessed via a small wooden gate off a private single track. The site slopes gently to the south with a group of mature trees to the southern edge of the field. A post and wire fence bounds the field with a section of mature hedgerow abutting the private track to the west. This infill site is flanked to the north by the property ‘Grisedale House’ and to the south ‘Lingy Side’, fields to the east and across the track to the west another residential property ‘Robin’s Field’. The character of the site is essentially rural but with several large detached properties set within their own grounds is in close proximity to the site. Further Can issues be overcome/ mitigated? issues/opp Are there opportunities for enhancement? ortunities to consider Issues and opportunities Green = no issue Amber = issues can be addressed through mitigation Red = Issue cannot be satisfactorily addressed = Opportunity for enhancement Accessibility The site is accessed off a narrow private road which runs virtually parallel with the main road that runs through the village. There are no footways along this stretch of road, however because it is for private use it is lightly used which is reflected in its designation as a public footpath. Development of the site is unlikely to have a significant detrimental effect on the public right of way. Archaeology Biodiversity/ Geodiversity There are no archaeological features on this site or in close proximity. A preliminary desk top assessment of designations has been undertaken to identify any sites which are located within 250 metres of Special Areas of Conservation, Sites of Special Scientific Interest, Special Protection Areas, National Nature Reserves, Local Nature Reserves, RAMSAR sties, County Wildlife Sites, and Regionally Important Geological and Geomorphological
