Status: Under Construction - less than 25% of dwellings or no completions

Number of dwellings remaining: 11

Source of number of dwellings: Planning Application

Site on Brownfield Register: No

Green Belt: Aslockton is not within the Green Belt.

Flood risk: Flood zone 1. EA map indicates that a small area within the northern section of the site is at a medium risk of surface water flooding.

Landscape assessment: Aggregate score in LVIA: 48/100. The site comprises one pastoral field with adjoining farmstead. The site lies immediately north of, and is accessed via Abbey Lane.

There is an overall medium landscape value within the study area and an associated scheduled monument 'Cranmer's Mound'. There is a low susceptibility to change due to the perception of the site as an extension of the edge. The sensitivity of the landscape character is low overall. Visually, there are no distinct indicators of value within the study area. There is a medium number of potential receptors due to the site forming part of the village edge, however the overall susceptibility is low. Overall, there is a low visual sensitivity.

Green infrastructure: Existing woodland should be retained as amenity/natural green space. Site is small and only offers limited opportunities to deliver significant open space. However if brought forward with neighbouring development there may be opportunities to provide more significant green infrastructure.

Historic environment: Maltings Cottages are identified as Local Interest Buildings. Development would impact on their setting.

Nature conservation: No designated nature conservation assets within the site or in close proximity. However site contains a small deciduous wood, a priority habitat, which is identified within the Biodiversity Opportunity Map. Hedgerows should be protected and enhanced to aid connectivity of woodland and other habitats. Phase 1 habitat survey at the application stage should determine presence of protected or priority species and priority habitats.

Air quality / contamination: Site is not within AQMA.

Community facilities: Limited community facilities - primary school, tea room, hairdressers, Church Hall and the Cranmer Public House. No convenience store.

Highways and access: Access likely to be achievable, close to edge of village speeds may be high. 30mph extents may need altering.

Parish / Town: Aslockton

Site area (hectares): 0.9 hectares

Brownfield or greenfield: Greenfield

Dwelling capacity: 4

Density (dwellings/hectare): 17

Site source: Developer / Landowner Submission

Planning reference: 20/02861/FUL

Type of site: Adjoining other village

Allocated site reference: none

Status: Previously refused planning permission

Number of dwellings remaining: 0

Source of number of dwellings: Planning Application

Site on Brownfield Register: No

Green Belt: Aslockton is not within the Green Belt.

Flood risk: Flood zone 1. None of the site identified as being at risk of surface water flooding.

Landscape assessment: Aggregate score in LVIA: 50/100. The site comprises one relatively well maintained pastoral field. The site lies immediately north of a single row of houses of Abbey Lane. There are a number of PRoW's within the study area as well as conservational interests, but neither are directly related to the site. There is an overall medium landscape value within the study area and an associated scheduled monument 'Cranmer's Mound'. There is a low susceptibility to change due to the perception of the site as an extension of the edge. The sensitivity of the landscape character is low overall. Visually, there are no distinct indicators of value within the study area. There is a medium number of potential receptors due to the site forming part of the village edge, however the overall susceptibility is low. Overall, there is a low visual sensitivity.

Green infrastructure: Site is small and only offers limited opportunities to deliver local amenity space. However if brought forward with neighbouring development there may be opportunities to provide more significant green infrastructure.

Historic environment: There are no designated heritage assets within or in close proximity of this site. Records indicate presence of ridge and furrow within the eastern area of the site. Also possible ring ditches. The site is located between two areas where archaeological features of likely Iron Age origin have been identified, and the site has a high potential to contain archaeological remains relating to the surrounding landscape. Site does contain enclosure and ring ditch.

Nature conservation: No nature conservation assets within the site or in close proximity. It is however bounded by hedgerows in varied condition which are a LBAP habitat and the pasture may contain locally important neutral grassland plant species. Hedgerow quality and connectivity should be preserved and enhanced in accordance with Wider Landscape objectives within Biodiversity Opportunity Mapping Report. Adverse effects should be avoided, mitigated or as a last resort compensated.

Air quality / contamination: Site is not within AQMA

Community facilities: Limited community facilities - primary school, tea room, hairdressers, Church Hall and the Cranmer Public House. No convenience store.

Highways and access: One of the reasons for refusal for application 20/02861/FUL was the failure of the application to demonstrate that the width of the vehicular access was sufficient to enable two vehicles to pass and parking and turning provision was not demonstrated wither. A second reasons for refusal was the noise disturbance on the amenity of properties either side of the access on Abbey Lane.

Accessibility: Bus stops located on Main Street which is a 5 minute walk. Hourly bus service to and from Bingham during the day only with no evening or Sunday service. Railway station is a five minute walk. Aslockton train station provides a services between Nottingham City Centre and Skegness.

Other issues: none stated

Agricultural land: Land is Grade 2 (best and most versatile)

Deliverability: Site submitted on behalf of the landowner within the 2014 SHLAA - no further correspondence. Site was refused permission in 2021 so considered underliverable and undevelopable.

Suitability: Could be suitable.

Availability: Not available.

Achievability: Not Achievable.

Delivery period: Not applicable.

Delivery: Non Deliverable or Developable.

Overall summary: The site was originally submitted through the 2014 SHLAA as a developer submission with an assumed capacity of around 15 units. The site has subsequently been put forward as a planning application for 4 units. The application was refused in January 2021. Aslockton is not identified as a Key Settlement within the adopted Core Strategy. As Aslockton has limited services and facilities the village has not been identified in Local Plan part 2 as an other village where additional housing development could occur. The site is not constrained by significant heritage, flooding, landscape or biodiversity constraints which cannot be avoided, mitigated or compensated. Although the SHLAA did not previously highlight access as a constraint, the application failed to demonstrate that adequate access was achievable. The site is identified as Grade 2 agricultural land (best and most versatile) and the loss of this resource cannot be mitigated. Recent planning appeal decisions have supported the Council's position that further development (beyond infill or exception sites for local need) should not be permitted in Aslockton. This application for four units was refused on the basis that site would extend the built up area of the settlement and would have a harmful impact on the character and form of the settlement. As the most recent submission, it is assumed the site is now being promoted for 4 units instead of 15.

Recent planning appeal decisions (including the decision regarding this site) have supported the Council's position that further development (beyond infill or exception sites for local need) should not be permitted in Aslockton.
