Preferred Option GT15 - Land to East of Europa Way (green) It is proposed that this site could accommodate up to 5 pitches but there are some issues to note.

Firstly, the detailed assessment of the site reveals that it is unlikely that a connection to the public foul mains sewer could be achieved and would therefore require a non mains solution. The assessment also notes that in order to supply adequate electric supply, some high voltage network would need to be constructed, and that this could have
implications for site viability.

A large proportion of the site is also within the floodplain of the River Avon, which the assessment advises would significantly reduce the amount of usable land which, again, could affect viability. Finally, it is our understanding that at some stage in the future it is intended that Europa Way be subject to dualling.

Gallagher Estates would ask whether proposing an access in this location to serve the site would be prejudicial to the proposals for dualling.

In light of the above there are potential barriers to making this site suitable, deliverable and viable for the intended purpose
