Considering Sites for Development in Sparkwell Parish Site Information Pack This pack contains: A Site Information Table This table sets out information about the constraints and opportunities for each site which have been considered. Depending on the constraints identified, we have concluded that there are either ‘significant constraints’ to development or ‘limited constraints’ to development. Site Maps These maps shows all of the sites which have been considered as part of this exercise.
Constraint Maps These maps show the different constraints, such as conservation areas, flood zones For more information and wildlife sites.

Sparkwell - General Comments Sparkwell is a small village located in the west of the district. It has a limited provision of local services (primary school, pub). There is capacity at the primary school (Sparkwell Primary Free School). The designated secondary school is Ivybridge Community College which is at capacity. Financial contributions towards new facilities and transport may be required from new development.
Access The site is on the periphery of the village and has poor access, on a narrow road, a poor junction and no footway to amenities. Landscape and Ecology The site is partly located within a designated wildlife site.

Access Site is located close to the village centre but access is via a crossroad, with a poor junction and could be difficult to achieve safely. No footway.

Access The site lies adjacent to the A38 slip-road, adequate access for commercial vehicles would need to be demonstrated. The site is located on the southern side of the A38, separate from the village of Lee Mill which lies to the north. Landscape and Ecology The site is low-lying and visually well contained in the landscape. Limited Due to the limted constraints It is not designated as having any ecological significance, but further assessment would be required as part of any pre-application process. constraints identified relating to location the Heritage and Archaeology and/or Land south-east of Lee Mill site is not considered to have SH_49_18_16 4.0 No constraints have been identified at this stage but further assessment may be required as part of any pre-application process. constraints Bridge, Lee Mill potential for residential Flood risk, water quality and drainage which can be development but is considered Much of the site lies within a Flood Zone and further assessment would be required as part of any pre-application process. overcome for suitable for commercial uses.
