In addition in terms of the proposed access to the site, implications of the development on the wider highways network, the environmental impacts of the scheme in terms of flood risk, drainage, ecology / biodiversity, land contamination, energy efficiency and cumulative impact the proposals are considered acceptable in accordance with policy. The proposals would also contribute to the general housing provision within the District including the provision for affordable housing and would provide financial contributions towards the provision of recreational open space, education, waste and recycling facilities and would secure a travel plan. As such, having had regard to the development plan, all other relevant local and national planning policies, consultation responses received to date and all other material planning considerations, it is considered that the proposed development is acceptable in principle and accords with policy. Recommendation: This planning application is recommended to be APPROVED subject to: i) Delegation being given to officers to complete the Section 106 Agreement to secure contributions for highways, affordable housing provision, recreational open space, education and waste and recycling facilities and to secure a travel plan, ensure deliverability of the school land and to restrict parts of the site to two storey; and ii) the conditions detailed in paragraph 2.27.1 of this report 1.

1.1.5 The site does not contain any properties or structures and residential properties define the northern boundary. 1.1.6 Vegetation within the site is limited, with vegetation defining adjoining boundaries which consist of low sparse hedgerows. 1.1.7 A public right of way (footpath number 35.57/32) crosses between the A162 and The Fairway along the northern boundary, adjacent to Green Dike and the garden boundaries of residential properties. In addition an informal farm track passes/ dissects the site from Low Street, bridges across the eastern boundary watercourse and continues across the southern edge of the A162. 1.1.8 The site is situated within Flood Zones 1, 2 and 3. 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 100 dwellings with the details of “access” being confirmed as part of the application. 1.2.3 In terms of “access” then this covers accessibility to and within the site for vehicles, cycles and pedestrians in terms of the positioning and treatment of the access and circulation routes and how these fit into the surrounding access network. 1.2.4 The Design & Access Statement includes a contextual analysis, the development concept and the design solutions for the site’s development and forms the link between the outline consent and the consideration of the reserved matters and is not subject of detailed assessment at this stage. 1.2.5 The application proposes a link road from the residential site to the north off Moor Lane, through the Phase 1 site then running through the site from north to south west linking into the proposed 498 unit scheme then through to Low Street. 1.2.6 As part of the collective residential schemes (for 100 and 498 units) it is proposed to provide an additional and relocated crossing and a toucan crossing along Low Street. In addition it is proposed to extend the 30 mph zone on Low Street from its current location to a point south of New Lane. 23
