A small section of the the northern side of the site is located within the settlement boundary of Clifton Reynes (Clifton Reynes is designated an ‘other village’) adjacent to the Conservation Area and identified as part of a ‘Housing’ area. The remainder of the site is identified is located within the open countryside. The whole site is located within an ‘Area of Attractive Landscape’. Market Housing * PRINCIPLE-Local Plan Policy S9-Clifton Reynes designated as an ‘Other Village-Infill development sympathetic to character of villages permitted within ‘settlement boundary’ * Note-policy to be superseded by Core Strategy Policy CS1 upon adoption –Clifton Reynes still defined as ‘other village’ where infill development will be permitted within the development boundary. * Outside settlement boundary-permission will only be granted for agriculture, forestry, countryside recreation and other development appropriate to rural area and cannot be located within a settlement. * Area of Attractive Landscape/Conservation Area will need to be considered through design. Summary – there is scope for infill on the land within the settlement envelope, subject to the following: Access via the track to the side being available The design will have to either fall just within or straddle the settlement boundary, possibly as built development within and garden land outside. The public house amenity and parking must be maintained or not harmed by the provision of the dwelling – a feasibility layout is required. Rural Exceptions * Policy H6 of Local Plan-Planning permission for affordable housing to meet ‘local rural needs’ may be granted ‘outside the limits of development of villages’ subject to following criteria: i. An up to date housing needs survey has been carried out and agreed with the council, which shows there is a need arising from the settlement for the type, scale and tenure of the proposed affordable dwellings at the estimated out-turn prices or rents ii. Arrangements are in place to reserve the housing for local needs in perpetuity iii. The is no more than 0.4 hectares in size and will provide no more than 12 dwellings iv. The site is well related to the existing pattern of development in the surrounding area * Area of Attractive Landscape/Conservation Area will need to be considered through design of any proposal. * We have been unable to identify whether there has been a local housing needs assessment. It will be important to establish through the Housing Department or the Parish whether there is locally identified need and to what extent is the need (how many units, what type, size and tenure. Summary – there is certainly scope for rural exception housing in policy terms subject to their being an identified need. The site is ideally located at the centre of the village and directly adjacent to the bus stop. Issues that would need be addressed if there is local housing need: Access via the track to the side being available, and it may well be necessary for that the access to be upgraded in some way, as RSLs seek for the road way to be adopted in order to avoid long term maintenance issues, as well as suitable access for refuse collection vehicles etc. The public house amenity and parking must be maintained or not harmed by the provision of the dwellings – a feasibility layout is required. Planning fees budget excluding specialist reports and LPA fees: Single dwelling - £2000 exc VAT for planning. £2500 exc VAT for design of the dwelling for planning stage (excludes construction drawings and building regs application
