SA2a: Access to Sustainable Transport -- The western half of the site is located within 500m of bus stops, however these are not served by buses with at least 15 minute frequency during weekday peak travel times. SA2b: Proximity of Services and Facilities + Site is within 2,000m of employment areas. SA3a: Proximity of Schools -- The site is within 2,000m of Wotton Hall Park Secondary School. However, it is judged open fields and the river to the north- east of the site creates a significant barrier to access which increases the walking distance significantly beyond 2,000m to reach this school. Therefore, the score for SA3a has been amended from minor negative '-' to significant negative '--'. SA4a: Proximity of Healthcare Facilities - Site is more than 800m from healthcare facilities. SA4b: Proximity of Open Space and Leisure Facilities + Site is within 800m of open space, namely the Counties Crematorium to the west of the site.

SA11a: Impact on Cultural Heritage - ARCHAEOLOGICAL POTENTIAL Ridge & Furrow detected across site. Rail line in tunnel. Possible Iron Age, Romano British settlement. Possible undated pits. Possible iron Age pits. Adjacent to an area of archaeological activity identified during the evaluation of the area in conjunction with the Collingtree SUE This area has potential for archaeological activity. MNN133004 Open Fields Ridge and furrow. HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT COMMENTARY Historic O/S (up to 1900) shows a predominantly agricultural landscape. Field barn to N boundary show on 1900 map. SUMMARY This site has the potential to be sensitive from a heritage point of view. SA12a: Road Traffic Increase within Air Quality Management Areas (AQMA) -?
