The area where new development is proposed mainly occupies an area of previously developed land, comprising a mixture of educational buildings and student residential blocks.

However, new residential development is also proposed within part of the site that is designated as a Site of Urban Landscape Value (SULV), and this occupies an area of approximately 10% of the SULV within the application site. The intrusion into the SULV is considered acceptable because:- - this part of the SULV is at the same level as the development site and is partly used as car park, it is screened from the rest by an embankment and landscaping so reads as part of the developed area - public use of the existing private sports pitches will be made available at a cost no higher than using council pitches and there will also be public use of the new sports pavilion and the car park - the local wildlife reserve (Bulmershe Pond -also known as Bulmershe College) will be improved and transferred to the council - contributions will be made for improvements to Highwood (also known as High Wood) The proposed development will regenerate a part of Woodley in a comprehensive way including considerable investment in local sports and improve the wildlife and recreational amenity whilst retaining and enhancing landscape features and qualities of the site and ensuring it's continued value to the Strategic Urban Landscape (SULV).
