- Site area of 0.73 hectares.
- Capacity for approximately 40 homes.
1. Development proposals must demonstrate how they will meet the following requirements:
a. Design-based mitigation, primarily in the form of sympathetic building height, style, and materials, must be used to limit the development’s impact on the setting of designated assets and urbanising impacts on Coldham’s Common;
b. Existing trees and hedgerows, particularly on the site’s perimeter, should be integrated into the development’s design and layout where possible, whilst also ensuring that safe and adequate site access from Coldham’s Lane can be delivered as part of development;
c. Given the area’s potential for archaeological remains, development proposals must be accompanied by an appropriate archaeological assessment which includes information on the significance of the heritage asset, including the extent, character and condition of the archaeological resource and the likely impact of the development on the archaeological remains; and
d. Development must address known surface water flooding risks within the site.

Supporting information
3.1.21. This 0.73 hectare brownfield site occupied by a community building and car parking provides a residential redevelopment opportunity for approximately 40 homes. Development proposals should include design-based mitigation, primarily in the form of building height, style, and materials, which are required to limit impacts on the setting of designated assets and mitigate for urbanising impacts on Coldham’s Common. Proposals should maintain the existing screening of the site from the road through retention of existing vegetation to perimeter of the site, whilst also ensuring safe and adequate site access from Coldham’s Lane.
