Site characteristics Located in the central core of the village of Witherslack in the area known as Town End, this site lies east of the minor road which travels through the village. The site is irregular in shape and measures approximately 64m long x 40m wide (at its widest point). An access track leading to the property known as ‘Blunt House’ flanks the site to the north, the property ‘The Palace House’ and grounds join the site to the west, a builder’s yard to the south and fields to the east. This site is covered with woodland and is hidden from view from the road. It is accessed via the track which itself is at a significantly lower level than the site. It is a flat site and there is a shipping container located within it. 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 located within Town End. There are no pedestrian footways on the minor road which serves the village. It is approximately 390m from the pub and community shop and 0.7 miles to the school. Archaeology There are no archaeological features on or in close proximity to the site. Development of this site should not result in the loss of features of Biodiversity/ Geodiversity archaeological importance. 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 Sites. This site is not located within 250 metres of any of these nature designations so there is unlikely to be any adverse impact but the site is located within 40 metres of a Moorland Core. Any proposals that may have a direct or indirect effect on these features will be expected to give full consideration of the
