Source of number of dwellings: Assumption made on best estimate

Site on Brownfield Register: No

Green Belt: The site is not located within the green belt.

Flood risk: A significant area along the south and east of the site at risk of flooding from watercourses. Parts of the site are also identified as being at varying risk from surface water flooding.

Landscape assessment: Greater Nottingham Growth Options Report (October 22) highlights that the site would be of medium potential for strategic development. It feels very rural in the east particularly, which would struggle to accommodate development. The west of the site feels more suitable for development due to scattered built form on the western boundary and proximity to the busy A46 - building this out would feel like creating a new settlement. The vegetated boundary to south separates the site from Bingham, and the strong vegetation line in north-east buffers from Car Colston.

Green infrastructure: The site contains a number of small woodlands, trees, hedgerows and watercourses. Potential opportunities to enhance these features and provide links between the woodlands.

Historic environment: Car Colston Conservation Area is located approximately 300m north east. The Roman settlement of Margidunum is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. This is located either side of the Foss Way, including land within the site’s south west corner in the vicinity of the B692 roundabout. Linear archaeological features and enclosures are identified in the HER. Potential harm to archaeological features which may be significant. Potential harm to the setting of Car Colston Conservation Area and views from within it. Roman occupation is known to extend beyond the scheduled site in other directions and could be here too. Archaeological investigation – nature of archaeology should be readily detectable via magnetometry survey in support of any allocation and/or planning application. Development within the vicinity of the Roman settlement should be avoided.

Nature conservation: High Westings Farm marsh Local Wildlife Site within the submitted area. Numerous small areas of woodland, trees, hedgerows and watercourses.

Air quality / contamination: The site is not within or within proximity of an air quality management area. No areas identified as potentially contaminated land.

Community facilities: The proposal is for a free standing settlement. Nearest facilities at Bingham or East Bridgford.

Highways and access: The only existing road that is within or adjacent to the site is the Fosse Way.

Accessibility: The site is not presently served by public transport, walking or cycling, other than hourly bus service during the day along the route of the Fosse Way between Bingham and Nottingham.

Other issues: The site is crossed by a number of public rights of way. The site is being promoted for mixed use. Estimate approx. 90 hectares for residential use.

Agricultural land: The site largely consists of grade 2 agricultural land.

Deliverability: Appears to be one landowner from the representation made in response to a local plan consultation. No known house builder involvement.

Suitability: Could be suitable

Availability: Available 11 to 15 years

Achievability: Achievable 11 to 15 years

Delivery period: Not applicable

Delivery: Could be suitable if policy changes 5+ years

Overall summary: The site is located away from any settlement. As such any proposal within this area would have to be developed as a freestanding development. There are a number of considerations in relation to the suitability of the site, relating to ecological value of parts of the site, proximity to a scheduled ancient monument and agricultural land quality.
