The Site is currently mixed agricultural land comprising modern amalgamated arable fields. Historically, the landscape was a much more intimate mosaic of small irregular fields bounded by hedgerows and intermixed with grazing and woodland. The assessment has concluded that: The Site has a high potential for archaeological deposits of early prehistoric (Mesolithic) date, a moderate-high potential for later prehistoric and Romano-British deposits (both Site wide), and localised moderate-high potential for medieval and post-medieval deposits around existing historic settlement sites; The Site contains historic hedgerows; The Site contains, or lies adjacent to, a number of designated heritage assets comprising scheduled monuments and listed buildings; Setting issues have been identified in relation to some listed buildings, due to the contribution their setting makes to their overall significance; Recommended mitigation includes fieldwalking, geophysical survey, geoarchaeological test-pitting and trial-trenching across the Site.

  • Appendix 1: Site Assessment Criteria
    Appendix 1: Site Assessment Criteria 392 Horsham District Council Local Plan Review Housing and Employment Site Assessment Criteria 2019 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Horsham District Council is in the process of reviewing the Horsham District Planning Framework (HDPF), which was adopted in 2015. The review of this plan will consider the level and location of future housing and employment development in the period to 2036. 1.2 In 2018, Horsham District Council undertook a call for sites to enable the Strategic Housing and Employment Land Availability Assessment (SHELAA) data to be reviewed and updated. This update was published in January 2019. Some 500 sites have been put forward to the Council for consideration for a range of different types of development, although the vast majority (around 450) have indicated that the site should be considered for residential development, either in whole or in part. 1.3 As part of preparation of the Local Plan Review, further consideration of all sites included in the latest SHELAA is required to help determine the selection of preferred sites for new housing and employment development, in order that we can meet our development needs up to 2036. The assessment of sites needs to be undertaken against a consistent set of planning criteria. A set of criteria has therefore been devised against which potential sites will be assessed and are set out in more detail in this paper. 2.0 Draft Site Assessment Criteria Consultation 2.1 The draft Site Assessment Criteria were subject to targeted consultation between 2 and the 29 April 2019.

    LOCAL PLAN REVIEW ISSUES AND OPTIONS – EMPLOYMENT, TOURISM AND SUSTAINBLE RURAL DEVELOPMENT Cabinet draft - 22 March 2018 1 CONTENTS 1.0 Introduction 2.0 Economic Development 3.0 Supporting the Visitor Economy 4.0 Sustainable Rural Development 5.0 Next Steps 2 1.0 INTRODUCTION An introduction to Horsham District 1.1 Horsham district is a predominantly rural district, containing the larger market town of Horsham in the north east and a number of smaller villages and towns through the rest of the District. The area is well connected, located mid-way between London and the south coast, and has good road and rail connections to both these areas. The district also has excellent international links, with Gatwick Airport directly adjoining the District boundary to the north east. The population is generally highly skilled, with 47.7% of residents educated to degree level or higher. Horsham boasts one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country. Although a high number of people in the district are employed locally, there are large numbers who commute outside the District to roles where salaries are generally higher. 1.2 The towns and villages in Horsham District are generally historic in nature, with buildings and structures in the district dating back to Norman times and creating attractive and characterful urban environments, many of which are listed buildings or are designated as a Conservation Area. Most settlements offer a number of services and facilities for those who live there including high quality local schools, shops, sports facilities and open spaces, together with some local employment.
