It is situated on the north side of Quernmore Road, from which it is accessed. The site is generally bounded by stone walls and mature trees and hedgerows and covers an area of approximately 16 hectares. The site falls significantly from west to east and is dominated by the massive Listed Annexe building. This is prominently located on the high ground at the western side of the site, with commanding views towards the east and high visibility from the M6, Quernmore Road and the rising land in that direction. Further former hospital buildings were grouped within the western side of the site, to the north of the Annexe. These were mostly of stone under slate construction, date from the early 1900s. The best and most prominent of these is Campbell House which frames the northern side of the disused cricket pitch. It has been retained. The eastern side of the site consists mostly of grassed areas. The whole site contains a large number of mature trees, but the heaviest concentrations and the oldest and largest trees are located around the buildings. There is also an area of dense, immature woodland in the north east corner of the site. A blanket Tree Preservation Order No. 381 (2006) A1 and A2 covers the site and all of its trees. 1.2 To the east of the site lies an unsurfaced but walled field access track with open agricultural pastures beyond, extending north, east and south east to the nearby M6 motorway and then beyond into the rising land of an open, drumlin field, pastoral landscape. To the south and on the same side of Quernmore Road lies an area of land owned by the Hospital Trust, comprising a Social Club, a disused bowling green and Primary Care Trust Offices, while on the south side of the road lies an Page 2 extensive area of recently developed housing within the grounds of the original Lancaster Moor Hospital. To the west lie areas of play fields, open ground and immature woodland with a cemetery, the Ridge Lea Hospital and Lancaster Farm Young Offenders Prison beyond. 1.3 Access to the site is through two road junctions onto Quernmore Road, one at each end of the site frontage and a pedestrian access in the centre of the frontage. Two main access roads run through the site either side of the Annexe building and a network of smaller roads gives access to the other buildings. The boundary wall along the Quernmore Road frontage, its railings, gates, gateposts and steps forming the original entrances to the Annexe building are also separately Listed at Grade II status. 1.4 The site is allocated primarily as a Housing Opportunity Site by saved policy H3 in the Lancaster District Local Plan. The Annexe building is also identified as a Business Opportunity Site by saved policy EC17. The existing cricket ground and bowling greens are identified as Outdoor Playing space by saved policy R1 and the east and north margins of the site are identified as Urban Green Space by saved policy E29. The saved Supplementary Planning Guidance note (SPG2) sets out a Development Brief for the site.
