1.1.5 Vegetation within the site is limited, with no physical boundary to the
east with the western boundary being timber fenced rear gardens and
brick gable ends of detached single storey garages and a dwelling on
Fairfield Link with the northern boundary formed by bushes and a water
course beyond which timber fences form the boundary of rear gardens;
and a small watercourse runs along the southern boundary.
1.1.6 An informal path runs alongside the southern boundary set 4-5m into
the site from the watercourse and continues east through the
remainder of the Phase 2 site with an unmade public right of way
(footpath number 35.57/32) following the line of the northern boundary,
some 4-5m to the south of the watercourse and this also continues
east through the remainder of the Phase 2 site.
1.1.7 The site sits predominantly within Flood Zone 1 with a small section
along the eastern boundary within Flood Zone 2.
1.2. The Proposal
1.2.1 Applications for outline permission do not require as much detail as full
applications but must still include information on use, the amount of
development, indicative layout, scale parameters and indicative access
points. Matters such as access, appearance, landscaping, layout and
scale can be approved at a later stage by a reserved matters
application.
1.2.2 This submission is an outline application for the construction of 120
dwellings with all matters reserved for future approval.
1.2.3 The supporting information for the application sets out the design
parameters which form a link between outline consent and
consideration of reserved matters and although not subject to detailed
assessment at this stage need to be taken into consideration to ensure
that the site can be developed in line with policy. The design
parameters indicated in the Environmental Statement are as follows:
• Access based on the utilisation of Fairfield Link and/or Carousel
Walk.
• The development will provide 120 dwellings.
• The density would be 30 dwellings per hectare (including open
space)
• Floor levels to be a minimum of 600mm above modelled flood level
from Selby Dam Flood Mapping Study 2008, or 300mm above
existing ground level whichever is higher.
• Majority of dwellings being 2 storey but some having room in the
roofspace, typically 2.5 storey.
• Properties ranging in height from 7m above Ordnance Survey
Datum for two storey properties to a maximum height of 10m for 2.5
storey properties.
