1- Development of this site will affect access to property

2- The Parking at Carr Bank is already quite cramped and the community already struggle to find parking regularly. Sometimes residents have to resort to park on the green area which to make matters worse is also going to be taken away as part of the new development. Essentially making an existing problem even worse by minimising space and increasing the number of residents of the Close.

3. Noise Pollution.

4. Loss of privacy.

5. Loss of View.

6. Loss of Light.

-This site directly leads on from our back garden and will impact us directly.
-It is a greenbelt
-Impact on wildlife
-Building houses directly in front overlooking our back garden will result in shadowing our property, loss of light and loss of privacy.
-Will result in poor air quality and traffic congestion.

Green belt should not be considered for development as it is in contravention to Governments aims and objectives.
Local Authorities should maximise the use of brownfield sites before considering changes to Green Belt boundaries.
There are no exceptional circumstances to justify releasing sites from Green Belt protection. All other reasonable options to meet housing need should be considered.
Inadequate proposals have been presented with regards to upgrading local infrastructure to cope with proposed extra housing. and extra pressures on local services.
There is no clear vision to increase passenger capacity on local public transport. This is in contravention to the Governments Decarbonising Transport strategic priority.
No justification for the proposed housing numbers identified to warrant removal of areas of Green Belt.

The development proposals are situated in a suitable and highly sustainable location in respect of existing settlement form and there are no technical or environmental (built and natural) constraints that would preclude the development of the site.

The enclosed nature of the site means that the openness of the Green Belt would remain, and a new permanent Green Belt boundary would be readily provided through an enhancement to the site’s existing northern boundary. The loss of the site from Green Belt would therefore not cause overall harm to the purposes of the Green Belt. With the development of the site also providing the opportunity to deliver landscape, recreation, and biodiversity benefits

While the total site area extends to 6.84ha our proposals suggest that 3.18ha of the site provides further areas of public open space and sustainable urban drainage features.

The proposed development of the site could achieve a high standard of design that protects and enhances the local area’s setting and character

Suitable access arrangements for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists can be provided from Saxilby Road and Elderberry Close

The site allocation details set out within the Preferred Options Local Plan identify that a “strip of land has been left to allow potential access from Thorneycroft Road, whilst there is a further potential access point from Saxilby Road”.

The site is accessible by land under the control of Bellway Homes where it adjoins the adopted highway. We would therefore like to discuss the details behind this text with the Council further prior to the publication of future versions of the Local Plan in order to ensure that any requirements attached to the allocation are fully justified and deliverable.

Green Belt Assessment - View of Bellway Homes

We provide below a summary of our assessment of the site against the five Green Belt purposes identified in Paragraph 134 of the National Planning Policy Framework:

The development of the site would not result in unrestricted urban sprawl

The development of the site would not result in the merging of adjacent settlements.

The site does not assist in safeguarding the countryside from encroachment.

The proposed development of the site will have no detrimental effect on the setting and special character of historic features.

The fifth purpose of Green Belt (to assist in urban regeneration, by encouraging the recycling of derelict and other urban land) is a general purpose which will not be adversely affected by the site rather than any other being removed from the Green Belt.

The site allocation details set out within the Preferred Options Local Plan identify one of the development considerations being the “provision of compensatory improvements to the surrounding Green Belt”. We would like to discuss the details behind this text with the Council further prior to the publication of future versions of the Local Plan in order to ensure that any requirements attached to the allocation are site-specific; explicitly worded; deliverable; and in accordance with the guidance presented in Paragraph: 002 Reference ID: 64-002-20190722 of Planning Practice Guidance.
To this regard, Bellway believe that specific reference could be made to the landscape, recreational and biodiversity opportunities that the Indicative Masterplan for the site seeks to deliver.

Site in Flood Zone 1 ONLY
Mitigation should be set above the 1 in 100 plus cc level for the site as suitable for the proposed vulnerability classification (EA standing advice should cover this).

If the site is considered Greenfield then surface water discharge rates post development should be restricted to the pre development Greenfield discharge rate. If the site is considered Brownfield then there should be a 30% reduction in surface water discharges, or restricted to Greenfield rates, there should be no increase in brownfield surface water discharge rates post development. So as to support prevention of cumulative increases to flood risk and should be in line with SuDs design principles.

For developments near ordinary watercourses we would recommend an 8 metre easement strip along the length of the riverbank, or a 45degree angle from the bed in the case of culverts, to be kept clear of permanent structures such as buildings. This is to maintain access to the riverbank for any improvements or maintenance. A Flood Defence Consent may be required for the LLFA for works in/affecting an ordinary watercourse.

For main rivers, we generally require an 8 metre easement strip along the length of the riverbank to be kept clear of permanent structures such as buildings, or a 45degree angle from the bed in the case of culverts. This is to maintain access to the riverbank for any improvements or maintenance. Environmental Flood Risk Activity Permits may be required for development near rivers.

It is possible the sites within close proximity to Flood Zones 3b, 3 and 2 may be subject to future risk identified within the SFRA (to follow) which may affect its allocation or how development should be sequentially laid out on the site.

Consideration must be made to making space for water and providing betterment in terms of flood risk management where ever possible.

A Scheduled Monument consisting of a prehistoric rock carving on the bank of How Beck is located at the sites north-west corner. Rombalds Moor is particularly rich in remains of prehistoric activity, with one of the densest concentrations of prehistoric rock carvings in upland Britain. There are also a number of Grade II Listed
Buildings 450 metres to the north of this site at West Morton. The development of this area could harm elements which contribute to the significance of these designated heritage assets.

Before allocating this site for development:

(1) An assessment needs to be undertaken of the contribution which this site makes to those elements which contribute towards the significance of the Listed Buildings in its vicinity, and what impact the loss of this undeveloped site and its subsequent development might have upon their significance.

(2) If it is considered that the development of this site would harm elements which contribute to the significance of the Listed Buildings, then the measures by which that harm might be removed or reduced need to be effectively tied into the Plan.

(3) If, at the end of the process, it is concluded that the development would still be likely to harm elements which contribute to the significance of these Listed Buildings, then this site should not be allocated unless there are clear public benefits that outweigh the harm (as is
required by NPPF, Paragraph 195 or 196).
