• East Riding of Yorkshire Council has recently indicated that Driffield needs 1,900 new homes up to 2028.
• There is an identified need for just over 1,000 affordable homes for local people in the district over the next 5 years.

The landscape surrounding Driffield is characterised in the regional East Riding Landscape Character Assessment (2005) as ‘Holderness Sloping Farmland - Character Area 16D: Nafferton Sloping Farmland’. This area to the east of Driffield contains few trees. The open space between Nafferton and Driffield is important in separating the two settlements. Field pattern is predominantly regular and rectilinear.

Visual Analysis Specialist consultants FPCR Environment and Design Ltd were 3 appointed by Gladman to undertake an assessment of the site with respect to Landscape Character and Visual Resources. The report concludes that a residential scheme can be accommodated without any significant adverse effects. Indeed the well designed scheme proposed would result in beneficial effects.
There are long distance views of the site from the Mowthorpe footpath 2 situated to the north of the A614. Closer range local views of the site 1 are partially screened by the line of trees bordering the cemetery when 4 approaching the site from the west along Bridlington Road, although the northern and eastern edges remain relatively exposed. Therefore belts of native species broadleaved trees are proposed along the eastern perimeter that would be in keeping with the local landscape, creating an attractive setting to the development and would ultimately enhance the local views.
