Development should be set back from the water-course; any opportunities to improve the ecological status of the watercourse should be investigated. Built development should avoid the flood risk area (or flood risk plain) identified including a 4 metre minimum buffer to any watercourses. Housing capacity will be dependent on finalising details such as proposed phasing, programming, infrastructure and relevant development considerations including access, site extent and layout, social infrastructure and open space requirements.
It is expected that the south portion of the site will be difficult to develop (ground conditions and amenity). However development of the north portion which can better deliver the required units should ensure a connection with the existing pathway and amenity area.
