Seven Acre Close, Bishop's Tachbrook
Failed to include additional highly suitable site off Seven Acre Close on north west edge of village. Site extends to 2.39 hectares and suitable for up to 60 units.
Southern part of site (extending to 0.85 hectares) is currently subject to planning application proposing limited first phase of development to meet short term housing needs whilst the wider site considered suitable for longer term needs over Plan period. Current outline application relates to proposed development of up to 25 houses, including mix of 15 open market dwellings and 10 affordable dwellings. The application was submitted with an illustrative layout and number of technical reports. Site immediately adjoins main part of the settlement and is located between existing houses off Seven Acre Close and individual farm house and small holding known as Knob Hill. Local village facilities are within easy walking distance. Facilities include village store, primary school, sports and social club, recreation ground and play area, church, medical centre and public house.
The Landscape and Visual Assessment for the current Site benefits from good level of existing boundary treatment and is well contained. Visual impact and sensitivity of visual receptors are not significant.
Situated in accessible location and well connected to existing pedestrian, cycle and public transport networks. Traffic generation associated with the current proposals will be modest and not have material impact upon the operation of adjacent highway network. Satisfactory access can be achieved. Access also has capacity for wider site should it be required.
Ecological considerations do not pose material constraint to development of the site and adequate mitigation measures can be provided.
No risk of flooding being located in Flood Zone 1. Surface water drainage can be managed. Foul and surface water disposal will be via existing adopted Severn Trent Sewers.
