Low Street to the south of the village centre and to the east of Low
Street.
1.1.2 The site covers an area of approximately 24.01 hectares of agricultural
land and is irregular in terms of shape.
1.1.3 Residential properties are located to the north of the site off Moor Lane
and Low Street and two further applications for residential schemes are
proposed for the areas of land to the north and north east of this site for
120 units and 100 units respectively.
1.1.4 To the north lies the Phase 1 (SHB/1A) site developed for 193
dwellings by Redrow / Persimmon and to the south of the application
site lies agricultural land.
1.1.5 The site does not contain any properties or structures and residential
properties define the majority of the northern boundary with isolated
residential properties and a farm to the south west of the site.
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

bridges across the eastern boundary watercourse and continues

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

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 498
dwellings with the details of “access” being confirmed as part of the
application. The application is a resubmission of the previously
refused scheme and includes the same number of units, however now
provides a means of comprehensively developing the site and includes
a mechanism to secure education facilities.
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
