About this page

How this part of the Local Plan Options Document works

These site options pages contain the following sections:

Site background

  • A broad description of the site, with map if appropriate
  • An overview of development proposed or already in progress
  • Relevant aspects of planning policy for this site
  • The history and status of any planning applications for this site

Options for the new Local Plan

We may suggest one or more possible approaches:

  • Keeping existing plans for this site as they are
  • Making small changes to our approach, which may allow for changes
  • Replacing the approach with something that is substantially different
  • Identifying factors or events which may affect this policy in the future

Each option will have a short analysis:

  • Opportunities presented by the site option
  • Constraints (obstacles which would need to be addressed)
  • Mitigations (Measures that would be needed to reduce any harm development would cause)
  • Further information we'd need to make a more in-depth assessment of the suitability of the site or option

Policy context note

  • Where decisions about this site or option may affect how we approach other sites (or vice versa), we will add a note to explain

Site background

7.96 The sites sit close to Farrington Road. PAU 12 sits to the north of Farrington Road adjacent to Westview and Downsway. It is a relatively flat site. PAU 11 is accessed from Abbots Farm Close and slopes upwards to the south.

Option PAU 11 and 12

Opportunities 

  • Opportunity for small scale additional housing.

Constraints

  • Due to the location of the site development would likely be characterised by cul-de-sacs with little connectivity to the surrounding settlement.
  • Impact on the existing landscape.
