•Access to the site via Meadowside Road which has a steep incline and will require third party land due to the configuration of the boundary. This will cause huge traffic issues.
•Drainage and surface runoff is a concern. Fields get water logged quickly (see photos).
•Underground watercourse present which emerges in the middle of the field.
•Topography of the site will require considerable civil engineering, which means a larger environmental toll than a flatter brownfield site causing higher prices.
•Construction process has a high risk on contaminating adjacent land and ground water.
•Cost to build this site in unlikely to make these houses affordable.
