Green Belt: The site (COT/A in the Green Belt Review) performs well against Green Belt purposes. The removal of this site for development would represent urban sprawl in an outlying location beyond the settlement boundary. The site scored 16, placing the site within the medium-high category of Green Belt importance. 2 points higher than the score for the area as a whole, mainly due to encroachment into the countryside, this reflects the overall conclusion that the site is of medium-high Green Belt importance.

Flood risk: Site located within zone 1 flood risk area. Parts of the site at risk from surface water flooding.

Landscape assessment: Landscape appraisal score 48/100. Site COT/002 is a small rectangular piece of equestrian grazing land just to the north of the Cotgrave village boundary. It is slightly removed from the village boundary, with a TPO on its southern edge. There is a low landscape value and susceptibility in the study area due to the high degree of human influence and the perception of the site as an extension of the urban edge, albeit slightly removed from the existing boundary. Overall there is a low landscape sensitivity. The visual value is low, although the presence of Cotgrave Country Park is a positive factor. There is a low visual susceptibility owing to the limited contribution of the site to the visual amenity. Overall there is a low visual sensitivity.

Green infrastructure: Hedgerows could be maintained and enhanced in order to provided enhanced green infrastructure.

Historic environment: Nothing identified in the area.

Nature conservation: There are no designated nature conservation interests within or adjacent to the site. It is however bound by established hedgerows 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. Adverse effects should be avoided, mitigated or as a last resort compensated.

Air quality / contamination: Not within or adjacent to an Air Quality Management Area.

Community facilities: Full range of facilities exist within Cotgrave. Cotgrave is a key settlement with a local centre that includes convenience (local supermarket) and a limited number of comparison shops, public houses and fast food establishments. The site is located some distance away from the local centre. A leisure Centre and gym is also available.

Highways and access: Extend 30 mph limit / Village Gateway to include site. Extend footway to Fields view.

Accessibility: Within walking distance of main Cotgrave bus service, which runs at least 3 times an hour during Monday-Friday daytime.

Other issues: none stated

Site on Brownfield Register: No

Green Belt: Adjoining Cotgrave on two boundaries, removal of this site would round off the North West edge of the settlement without intruding beyond existing development along Main Road. It would not result in a reduction in the distance between Radcliffe on Trent or Nottingham’s main urban area. However, the absence of encroaching development and close proximity to the historic centre of Cotgrave increase the land’s overall performance against Green Belt purposes. Overall the site scores 13 and is therefore of low medium Green Belt importance.

Flood risk: The site is not identified as at risk of flooding from watercourses. Parts of the site are at risk of flooding from surface water. Environment Agency advises that 10 metre easements would be required adjacent to any watercourses.

Landscape assessment: LVIA aggregate score: 46/100. The site is a series of arable fields to the north-west of the historic centre of Cotgrave and is part of the setting to 'The Limes', a Grade II listed house. Cotgrave Footpath 15 crosses the site in its south-western corner and contributes to the medium recreational value in the study area. Overall there is a low landscape value. The landscape susceptibility is also low as the site acts as an extension to the settlement with no notable loss of key characteristics. This level of susceptibility occurs despite the proximity of the site to the historic village core. There is low landscape sensitivity overall. Visually, the site has a limited recreational value and does not contribute to the visual amenity for both residential and recreational receptors. It has an overall low visual sensitivity.

Green infrastructure: None identified within or adjacent to the site. There is a small watercourse within the northern part of the site. This corridor could be maintained and enhanced as green infrastructure to the north of the site. There is also a public right of way, which could also be enhanced as a Green Infrastructure corridor.

Historic environment: Nothing on site, but within the setting of listed church which is grade I and the Limes, which is grade II. There is a series of earthworks forming banked enclosures and hollows in southern half of the site. However age and function is unknown.

Nature conservation: There are no designated nature conservation interests within or adjacent to the site. It is however bounded by established mature hedgerows and contains a small watercourse 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. Adverse effects should be avoided, mitigated or as a last resort compensated.

Air quality / contamination: No issues identified.

Community facilities: Full range of facilities exist within Cotgrave. Cotgrave is a key settlement with a local centre that includes convenience (local supermarket) and a limited number of comparison shops, public houses and fast food establishments. A leisure Centre and gym is also available.

Highways and access: Extend 30 mph limit / Village Gateway to include site. No other issues.

Accessibility: Within walking distance of main Cotgrave bus service, which runs at least 3 times an hour during Monday-Friday daytime. The site is well located to retail facilities on Bingham Road.

Other issues: None.

Agricultural land: Grade 3 agricultural land.

Deliverability: Site has house builder involvement. Subject to constraints being resolved, the site is considered deliverable.

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 not constrained by significant access, biodiversity, flood risk, or landscape issues and is closely located to the settlement's services and facilities. Proximity of the site to the historic core and setting of listed buildings (most notably the Grade 1 listed church) is a constraint which would require mitigation. This is recognised in the Heritage Assessment, Green belt review and landscape appraisal.

Site on Brownfield Register: No

Green Belt: Whilst the sewage treatment works would physically contain the site to the north, this facility is not prominent and development would constitute an urban intrusion into the countryside along Woodgate Lane. There are no elements of inappropriate development, when viewed from the urban edge the land is open countryside in character. Due to the scale of the site, its removal from the Green Belt would not significantly reduce distance between Cotgrave and Nottingham’s main urban area. However this does not outweigh the intrusive location. The land scored 14 against Green Belt purposes, reflecting the overall conclusion that it is of low-medium Green Belt importance.

Flood risk: Not identified as at risk of flooding from any source.

Landscape assessment: Landscape appraisal score 46/100. The site is an arable field on the north-western settlement edge of Cotgrave; it is crossed by Cotgrave Footpath 15 and forms part of a strong rural edge to the settlement. There is an overall low landscape value on site due to the low level of conservation interests and the degree of human influence in the study area. The landscape susceptibility is also low, owing to development of the site resulting in no notable loss of key characteristics and an extension of the urban edge. Overall the landscape sensitivity is low. In terms of visual amenity, there is a recreational value and views to All Saints Church, but overall the value of the visual amenity is low. The site is part of the visual amenity for residential receptors and is situated on the village edge; it has a medium visual susceptibility. Overall there is a low visual sensitivity.

Green infrastructure: Existing hedgerows around the site could be maintained or enhanced, together with the public right of way corridor through the site. 10m easement either side of watercourse should be incorporated into the design.

Historic environment: Nothing identified. Public footpath provides corridor view towards the church in the centre of the village.

Nature conservation: There are no designated nature conservation interests within or adjacent to the site. It is however bounded by established hedgerows which are a LBAP habitat. Hedgerow quality and connectivity should be preserved and enhanced. Adverse effects should be avoided, mitigated or as a last resort compensated.

Air quality / contamination: Nothing identified.

Community facilities: Full range of facilities exist within Cotgrave. Cotgrave is a key settlement with a local centre that includes convenience (local supermarket) and a limited number of comparison shops, public houses and fast food establishments. The site is some distance away from the local centre. A leisure Centre and gym is also available.

Highways and access: Would require upgrade of Woodgate Lane to bring up to adoptable standard, currently a private road in multiple ownership. Possible legal issues.

Accessibility: Within reasonable walking distance of main Cotgrave bus service via a public right of way. The bus runs at least 3 times an hour during Monday-Friday daytime. The site is further away from retail facilities on Bingham Road than other sites, and more so in the case of precinct.

Other issues: Part of the site adjacent to sewage works, which is a bad neighbour and which Severn Trent advise that there should be a buffer in order to allow for future capacity improvements.

Agricultural land: The site is predominantly grade 2 agricultural land (BMV).

Deliverability: Representation received on Publication LAPP. Site is in single ownership. No known house builder with an option. Subject to constraints being resolved, the site is considered deliverable.

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 not constrained by biodiversity, GI, flood risk or heritage issues that cannot be avoided or mitigated. The land does however protrude into open countryside and this is recognised within the Green Belt Review. The main constraint is the proposed access off Woodgate Lane, which is currently a private road in multiple ownership. This road would require adoption, resolution of legal ownership, and bringing up to standard.

Green Belt: This area of Green Belt land is contained by development on Bakers Hollow and White Furrows. Its removal and development would not result in a prominent intrusion into the Green Belt, or a reduction in the distance between Cotgrave and Clipston. However, due to the intrusion and greater settlement sprawl across more open countryside. Having scored 10, if restricted to the SHLAA site, the Green Belt land within this area is considered being of low Green Belt importance.

Flood risk: Site not identified as at risk of flooding from any source.

Landscape assessment: Landscape appraisal score 49/100. The site is an intensively managed arable field located on the western edge of Cotgrave, which forms a small part of the rural setting to the village. The high degree of human influence contributes to the low landscape value, as does the limited number of conservation interests. There would be no notable loss of key characteristics and the site would appear as an extension to the existing urban edge. Within the study area, there is an inherent low landscape sensitivity in the study area, which is derived from the low landscape value and low landscape susceptibility. In terms of visual amenity there is a low visual value, although there is inherent recreational value in the study area. The visual susceptibility is also low; the site has a limited contribution to the experience of receptors. Overall the visual sensitivity is low.

Green infrastructure: Opportunity to establish buffer between the site and the wider countryside to provide a soft edge to the settlement.

Historic environment: The site does not contain or preserve the setting of any statutory or non-statutory heritage assets.

Nature conservation: There are no designated nature conservation interests within or adjacent to the site. It is however bounded by established mature hedgerows on three sides. Hedgerow quality and connectivity should be preserved and enhanced. Adverse effects should be avoided, mitigated or as a last resort compensated.

Air quality / contamination: Nothing identified.

Community facilities: Full range of facilities exist within Cotgrave. Cotgrave is a key settlement with a local centre that includes convenience (local supermarket) and a limited number of comparison shops, public houses and fast food establishments. A leisure Centre and gym is also available.

Highways and access: Access Ok. Wish to see new footway to connect site to Village.

Accessibility: The site is around 15 minutes walk from the main Cotgrave bus service, which runs at least 3 times an hour during Monday-Friday daytime. Other less frequent buses run hourly during Monday-Saturday daytime only. The site is further away from retail facilities on Bingham Road than other sites, and more so in the case of precinct. Narrow footways along Plumtree Road / Bakers Hollow.

Other issues: None

Agricultural land: Land predominantly Grade 3 agricultural land, with small area of Grade 2 agricultural land at the site's south west corner.

Deliverability: Land in single ownership however no known house builder with an option on the land. Promoted still at LAPP examination. Subject to constraints being resolved, the site is considered deliverable.

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 not constrained by significant biodiversity, heritage, flood risk, or access constraints that cannot be avoided or mitigated. Land is adjacent to the main built form of the village. Considered to be of low Green Belt importance.

Green Belt: The site is of low importance when assessed against Green Belt purposes which seek to restrict sprawl and prevent the merging of settlements, consequently it scored 3 points less the wider strategic area. The presence of The Brickyard has reduced the ability of the Green Belt to safeguard the land from encroachment. It is also a local interest building which may be of importance to the special character of the area. The Green Belt score of 11 reflects the overall conclusion that the site is of low-medium Green Belt importance.

Flood risk: Site not at risk of flooding from rivers. Area of the site is identified as at risk of flooding from surface water.

Landscape assessment: Landscape appraisal score 49/100. The site is situated on the south-western edge of Cotgrave and comprises pastoral land and woodland. There is an inherent low landscape value within the study area, owing to the high degree of human influence and detractors, as well as the lack of tranquillity. Landscape susceptibility is also low, although loss of the woodland as both an ecological and recreational resource and the increased prominence of the site in its surroundings will both be issues affecting the susceptibility of the landscape character to development on site. Visually, there is little value except for a minor recreational value arising from the presence of the woodland on the site and at its western boundary. The susceptibility of the visual amenity to change is also low. Overall the landscape sensitivity is low, as is the visual sensitivity.

Green infrastructure: There are a number of potential opportunities for the enhancement of green infrastructure on the site, including the retention and enhancement of hedgerow corridors, tree clusters and grasslands around the site.

Historic environment: The Brickyard building is identified as a property of local interest. This early 19th century brickworks includes kilns which survive on site. Development of land around the building may affect its setting. Non designated heritage assets also include a WW2 rifle range at west side of site.

Nature conservation: There are no designated nature conservation interests within or adjacent to the site. It is however bounded by established mature hedgerows which are a LBAP habitat and the pasture may contain locally important neutral grassland plant species. The site also contains trees and scrubland which may also be a LBAP habitat. Hedgerow quality and connectivity should be preserved and enhanced. Adverse effects should be avoided, mitigated or as a last resort compensated.

Air quality / contamination: Nothing identified

Community facilities: Full range of facilities exist within Cotgrave. Cotgrave is a key settlement with a local centre that includes convenience (local supermarket) and a limited number of comparison shops, public houses and fast food establishments. The site is some distance away from the local centre. A leisure Centre and gym is also available.

Highways and access: Access Ok, would wish to new footway to connect site to Village.

Accessibility: The site is within a 15 minute walk to the main Cotgrave bus service. This runs every 20 minutes to Nottingham. Site is comparatively remote compared to other sites to retail facilities within the village, but is well located for the main primary school.

Other issues: None

Agricultural land: The site is identified as being grade 3 agricultural land.

Deliverability: No deliverability information within the submission. Wider area not being promoted for development and ownership is unknown (only the area in the centre of the site was being promoted for development). No 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+ year

Overall summary: Site contains a variety of local priority habitats, a local interest building and other heritage assets (WW2 Rifle range). Access issues and flood risk are not however concerns. The Green Belt Review concluded the land is of low-medium Green Belt importance.

Green Belt: The site is located within the Cotgrave East Strategic Area. It scored 11 within the Green Belt Review 2022. Whilst the A46 offers a strong strategic boundary, the use of this strategic highway as the inner Green Belt boundary would remove a significant area from the Green Belt within which development would be harder to constrain. The topography undulates significantly in this open area, increasing perceptions of urban sprawl. Land either side of Colston Gate is arable and not well contained by established and robust field boundaries. Within the southern area the urban edge is contained by woodland. Development beyond this tree belt would not be connected to the settlement edge. There is some distance between this area and the nearest settlement of Cropwell Bishop. This strategic area is predominantly agricultural and woodland, together with part of a country park and a green burial site. All of these uses are countryside uses. Whilst the Green Belt extends close to the centre of Cotgrave, there are no designated or non-designated heritage assets that would be affected but the areas development to the east of the town.

Flood risk: Site not at risk of river flooding from watercourses. Site frontage to Colston Gate identified is at risk of flooding from surface water, together with the north and west of the site.

Landscape assessment: As COT7 would not be developed in isolation the landscape assessment has combined COT7 and COT6. Landscape appraisal score 53/100. The area comprises an arable field and a field of rough ground on the eastern rural edge of Cotgrave. The two fields form part of the rural setting to the village, but the human influence within the study area, as well as the lack of conservation interests contribute to the low landscape value. In terms of landscape susceptibility, development of the site would not result in the loss of key characteristics. It would appear as an extension of the urban edge, albeit a finger of development that might increase the prominence of the settlement. Overall, the landscape susceptibility and sensitivity are both low. In terms of visual amenity, there is low visual value, limited to a slight residential amenity. The visual susceptibility is medium due to the relative openness of the site to its surroundings, as well as the moderate number of potential receptors. The visual sensitivity is overall low.

Green infrastructure: Opportunities to enhance existing hedgerows around the site. Allocation has been enlarged to include substantial Green Infrastructure on elevated land to the south.

Historic environment: The site does not contain or preserve the setting of any statutory or non-statutory heritage assets.

Nature conservation: There are no designated nature conservation interests within or adjacent to the site. It is however bounded by some hedgerows which are a LBAP habitat. Hedgerow quality and connectivity should be preserved and enhanced. Adverse effects should be avoided, mitigated or as a last resort compensated.

Air quality / contamination: Not within or near an Air Quality Management Area.

Community facilities: Full range of facilities exist within Cotgrave. Cotgrave is a key settlement with a local centre that includes convenience (local supermarket)and a limited number of comparison shops, public houses and fast food establishments. The site is located some distance away from the village centre. It is proposed that the local centre within Cotgrave is going to be refurbished and upgraded in the near future. A leisure Centre and gym is also available.

Highways and access: Access should be located so visibility is not obscured by bend to the east. Village Gateway to be relocated to incorporate site. New footway to connect to village required. Consideration to be given to impact on Colston Gate/Hollygate Lane junction.

Accessibility: The site is some distance away from the main bus service which runs at least 3 times an hour during Monday-Friday daytime. Other sites are closer to retail and other facilities within the village, but it is not too far to the precinct.

Other issues: Overhead power lines cross the eastern part of the site. The land rises sharply towards the southeast. Would not release the site in isolation.

Agricultural land: Grade 3 agricultural land.

Deliverability: Representation on GNSP Growth Options received from site promoter. Size of allocation has increased to accommodate Green Infrastructure. However no identified house builder for the site.

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 not constrained by biodiversity, heritage or landscape issues which cannot be avoided or mitigated. Development would require new footpaths and may require improvements to Colston Gate/Hollygate Lane. Due to its size, outlying location, open countryside character and prominent topography however, the site scored highly against Green Belt purposes.

Landscape assessment: As COT9 would not be developed in isolation the landscape assessment has combined COT9 with COT10. Landscape appraisal score 47/100. Site COT9 comprises a number of fields laid to both arable farming and rough ground on the north-eastern edge of Cotgrave. The study area has an medium landscape value, partly due to the close representativeness to the prevailing landscape character and the high recreational value in the study area. The landscape susceptibility is low; this is through the development of the site causing no notable loss of key characteristics in the study area and the site being perceived as an extension of the existing urban edge. Overall the landscape sensitivity is low. Visually, there is a low value related to the site - the only aspect of value is the views towards All Saints Church in the historic centre of the village. The visual susceptibility is also low, arising from the low level of visibility of the site and the limited contribution that the site has to the experience of residential and recreational receptors in the area. There is an overall low visual sensitivity.

Landscape assessment: Landscape appraisal score 46/100 The site is a field of rough ground nestled on the north-eastern edge of Cotgrave; it currently has a strong vegetated boundary on all sides and an existing line of houses on the western site boundary. The landscape value within the study area is low, mostly due to the influence of adjacent development, including the business park to the north-east of the site, as well as the lack of conservation interests. The study area is of low susceptibility to development of the site, with development of the site resulting in no loss of kay characteristics and potential having a beneficial effect as the site aesthetics are improved. Overall the landscape sensitivity is considered to be low. In terms of visual amenity, there is a lack of visual value arising from the presence of the site in the study area. There are a medium number of receptors due to the site's presence on the edge of the settlement, but the strong vegetated site boundaries mean that there is a low susceptibility. Overall, the visual sensitivity is low.

Green Belt: Site has been removed from the Green Belt through the adoption of the Local Plan Part 2.

Flood risk: Site is within flood zone 1 and is not at risk of surface water flooding.

Landscape assessment: As COT11a would not be developed in isolation the landscape appraisal has assessed COT, 9, COT10 and COT11a as one parcel of land. Landscape appraisal score 54/100. Site COT/011 is a series of arable fields, rough ground and equestrian grazing along Hollygate Lane on the north-eastern edge of Cotgrave. The site stretches from the urban edge towards countryside, but often has a degraded feel with frequent industrial influences. The landscape value of the study area is assessed as medium; this is a result partly of the high recreational value and close representativeness to the prevailing landscape character as assessed by Nottinghamshire County Council. Development of the site would result in an illogical extension of the urban edge as a finger perpendicular to the existing settlement line, extending the settlement into the rural setting. Despite this, the landscape susceptibility is considered to be low and the overall landscape sensitivity is low. Visually, there is a low value, although the Grantham Canal has recreational value. There are a medium number of receptors and a general overall low visibility of the site, feeding into a low visual susceptibility. Overall there is a low visual sensitivity.

Green infrastructure: There are no green infrastructure or open space assets within the site. If developed alongside COT9 multifunctional green infrastructure could be delivered.

Historic environment: There are no designated heritage assets within the site. Grantham Canal is located close to the boundary, however it is unlikely to affect the setting of this site significantly.

Nature conservation: There are no designated nature conservation assets within the site. Grantham Canal is located close to the boundary, however it is unlikely to affect this site significantly.

Air quality / contamination: Not within or in the vicinity of an Air Quality Management Area.

Community facilities: Full range of facilities exist within Cotgrave. Cotgrave is a key settlement with a local centre that includes convenience (local supermarket) and a limited number of comparison shops, public houses and fast food establishments. A leisure Centre and gym is also available.

Highways and access: Would wish to see the a new road connecting Hollygate Lane and Colston Gate. May unlock other sites in the area by providing alternative to adjacent junction. Would require multiple points of access to the highway. As well as footway improvements.

Accessibility: Within walking distance of Cotgrave connection, which runs at least 3 times an hour during Monday-Friday daytime, with services in the evenings and weekends. Reasonably located in terms of proximity to the precinct.

Other issues: Would not release the site in isolation.

Agricultural land: Grade 3 agricultural land.

Site on Brownfield Register: No

Green Belt: The Green Belt in this location prevents the merging of Cotgrave with Clipston and the land, though free from inappropriate development, is visually affected by the prominence of the edge of the town. Whilst identified as being of low-medium Green Belt importance, the prevention of sprawl and subsequent score of 14 indicates the site is of medium rather than low Green Belt importance.

Flood risk: Site not identified as at risk of flooding from watercourses, however there is a corridor within the site that is identified as at risk from surface water flooding.

Landscape assessment: Landscape appraisal score 58/100 The site is comprises two arable fields on the western edge of Cotgrave; they are crossed by a public right of way (PRoW) and have a second PRoW on their western boundary. Overall, the landscape value of the study area is medium due in part to the amount of recreational value and the attractive rural setting that the western half of the study area forms in relation to the village itself. There is a low landscape susceptibility to change, however, as no notable key landscape characteristics are lost through development of the site. The landscape sensitivity is overall low. In terms of visual amenity, there is a low value, but the susceptibility to change is medium as the site forms part of the rural setting for both recreational and residential receptors. Overall the visual sensitivity is medium.

Green infrastructure: The existing hedgerows could be retained and enhanced.

Historic environment: The site does not contain or preserve the setting of any statutory or non-statutory heritage assets.

Nature conservation: There are mature hedgerows along some of the boundaries of the site as well as one through it. Hedgerows are identified as a LBAP priority habitat. There is also a wooded area to the south of the site.

Air quality / contamination: Not within or in the proximity of an Air Quality Management Area.

Community facilities: Full range of facilities exist within Cotgrave. Cotgrave is a key settlement with a local centre that includes convenience (local supermarket) and a limited number of comparison shops, public houses and fast food establishments. A leisure Centre and gym is also available.

Highways and access: Access ok subject to visibility being proven. Extend 30 mph limit/Village Gateway to include site. Extend footway to back into village.

Accessibility: Majority of the site is some distance away from the main Cotgrave Connection bus service. The 822 runs hourly along Plumtree Road during Monday-Saturday daytime and not at all during evenings and weekends. Less conveniently located for access to retail and community facilities than some other sites, although access to main primary school is reasonably short.

Other issues: Site could not be released without the release of adjacent site at Bakers Hollow. 150 dwellings suggested by site agent and carried forward into the SHLAA. Possibly could accommodate significantly more as site unconstrained by features and topography.

Agricultural land: The site is identified as grade 2 agricultural land - best and most versatile (BMV).

Deliverability: Site being promoted for development with no obvious physical constraints, however there is no indication that a house builder is involved at this stage.

Suitability: Could be suitable.

Availability: Available 11 - 15 years

Achievability: Achievable 11 to 15 years

Delivery period: Not applicable.

Delivery: Could be suitable if policy changes 5+ years

Overall summary: Although the site is not constrained by designated or non-designated biodiversity or heritage assets and there are no significant highways, flood risk or landscape concerns, the land's performance against Green Belt purposes is a notable constraint. 30 MPH limit would need extending.

Green Belt: The site is in an outlying location approximately 260 metres north of the current Green Belt boundary. The site could not be removed in isolation as this would weaken the Green Belt north of the village and necessitate the removal of more Green Belt land. Its removal from the Green Belt would result in intrusive development in a prominent location. Although the removal of the land would not significantly reduce between Cotgrave and villages to the north, and it does not contribute to the setting of the historic centre of Cotgrave, given the site’s isolated located in a prominent position, and its open countryside character, the site scored 15. This reflects the land's low-medium Green Belt importance.

Flood risk: Land is within Flood zone 1 and not at risk of surface water flooding.

Landscape assessment: Total aggregate score: 50/100. The site comprises an arable field situated on a ridge-line to the north of the village of Cotgrave. It is isolated from the main village edge, but is situated adjacent to an individual residential property. Overall, there is a medium landscape sensitivity in the study area as a result of the low landscape value and medium landscape susceptibility. The study area is fairly degraded and unattractive with few conservation interests; all of which contributes to the low landscape value. However the site's ocation as isolated from the main settlement edge contributes to the medium landscape susceptibility; however there is a low landscape sensitivity overall. There are no elements of visual value attributed to the site within the study area, and the site does not contribute to local views - these characteristics contribute to an overall low visual sensitivity.

Green infrastructure: Site is small and only offers limited opportunities to deliver local amenity space

Historic environment: Several archaeological features nearby including Medieval Cemetery, a 17th century windmill (destroyed early 20th century in a storm) and a disused quarry site of unknown date. All are on the opposite side of Main Road however. Archaeological investigation advisable.

Nature conservation: There are no designated nature conservation interests within or adjacent to the site. Site is bounded by hedgerows which are a local priority habitat. These should be protected and enhanced to aid habitat connectivity.

Air quality / contamination: Site is not within or in close proximity of an Air Quality Management Area.

Community facilities: Full range of facilities exist within Cotgrave. Cotgrave is a key settlement with a local centre that includes convenience (local supermarket) and a limited number of comparison shops, public houses and fast food establishments. A leisure Centre and gym is also available.

Highways and access: Questionable from a sustainability and connectivity standpoint. Unlikely to meet visibility criteria at access due to close proximity of crest. Would require 215m x 2.4m visibility to be provided in both directions. Unlikely to be supported by Highway Authority

Accessibility: Approximately 1km from the centre of Cotgrave and the nearest bus stop is 400m south of the site on Main Road. Regular bus services to Nottingham can be accessed at this stop that run every 20 minutes during the day. Relatively close to retail facilities on Bingham Road.

Other issues: None

Agricultural land: Site is identified as Grade 3 agricultural land.

Deliverability: Land has recently been promoted during Further Options. Site considered deliverable within 5 years if allocated. No known developer on board.

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 not constrained by significant biodiversity, heritage or flood risk issues which cannot be avoided or mitigated. The site's outlying location and unsustainable/unconnected location is a significant constraint. Access onto Main Road is close to the crest on the road and therefore considered unsuitable.

Site on Brownfield Register: No

Green Belt: The land is located north of the Grantham Canal and east of Hollygate Lane, both of which are robust defensible boundaries. Development in this location would constitute prominent sprawl into open countryside.

Adjacent to the Grantham Canal, the sites provides a rural seƫng to this local historical feature.

Given the sprawl that would occur, the safeguarding of open countryside and the importance of the site to the setting of the canal, the land scored 14. This reflects land of low-medium Green Belt importance.

Flood risk: Low-lying land adjacent to the Canal is identified as Flood zone 3. 1/100 year risk of flooding.

Landscape assessment: Total aggregate score 53/100. COT/014 comprises arable and rough land just off Hollygate Lane in Cotgrave, immediately south-east of the new Hollygate Park housing development. There is a low landscape value within the study area due to the relatively degraded character and lack of conservation interests, amongst other factors. The site is isolated from the main settlement edge, but its proximity to the existing adjoining development means that the landscape susceptibility is low overall. The low landscape value and susceptibility contribute to a low landscape sensitivity. There are no elements of visual value, but there is a medium visual susceptibility due to the site forming part of the rural outlook for both residential and recreational receptors. Overall the visual sensitivity is low.

Green infrastructure: The site does not contain any existing GI assets. It is however adjacent to the Canal which is a strategic green corridor. The amenity of this corridor should not be adversely affected. The landscape assessment suggests a buffer screen the development from the canal. Opportunities to enhance the corridor should be incorporated into the design.

Historic environment: Adjacent to Grantham Canal, a non-designated Heritage asset. Development of COT14 would have a visual impact along an otherwise rural section of the canal route.

Nature conservation: The Grantham Canal runs along the south of the site. The Grantham Canal is identified as a Local Wildlife Site. It is also bounded by hedgerows which are a local priority habitat

Air quality / contamination: Site is not within or in close proximity of an Air Quality Management Area.

Community facilities: Full range of facilities exist within Cotgrave. Cotgrave is a key settlement with a local centre that includes convenience (local supermarket) and a limited number of comparison shops, public houses and fast food establishments. A leisure Centre and gym is also available.

Highways and access: Unlikely to present an issue from a highway perspective subject to achieving requisite visibility standards. Would need new footway along frontage and suitable crossing point over Hollygate Lane to access footway /cycle way into Cotgrave.

Accessibility: The site is 800m from the centre of the village and a bus stop is located just north of the site on Hollygate Lane. The N30, N32 and T3 service's currently provides limited bus services to various designations Monday-Saturday daytime only. The 33 runs hourly to Nottingham and Radcliffe on Trent off stops on Harvest Drive. Cotgrave Connection runs every 20 minutes along Colston Gate.

Other issues: None

Agricultural land: Site is identified as Grade 3 agricultural land.

Deliverability: Agent acting on behalf of Barwood Homes who control land at the site.

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+ year.

Overall summary: The site is not constrained by access issues which cannot be resolved. However its location adjacent to the Grantham Canal may result in adverse affects on the Canal's biodiversity, heritage and recreational interest/benefits. Low-lying land is identified as Flood zone 3 (1/100 year risk of flooding). Green Belt concludes the site to be of low-medium Green Belt importance.

Site on Brownfield Register: No

Green Belt: This site comprises half of COT/E within the Green Belt Review. Due to the land’s location in the open countryside south of Hollygate Lane and the adverse effects upon the setting of the Grantham Canal COT/E scored less favourably against Green Belt purposes than the neighbouring site COT/D. As the site contains significant elements of urban encroachment and would not result in a significant reduction in the Green Belt between Cotgrave and settlements north and east, the land scored 10 (low Green Belt value) against Green Belt purposes and overall the land is assessed as being of low Green Belt importance.

Flood risk: Northern part of the site identified as at risk of flooding from rivers and streams. Larger area across the site at risk form surface water flooding.

Landscape assessment: Landscape appraisal score 54/100. Series of arable fields, rough ground and equestrian grazing along Hollygate Lane on the north-eastern edge of Cotgrave. The site stretches from the urban edge towards countryside, but often has a degraded feel with frequent industrial influences. The landscape value of the study area is assessed as medium; this is a result partly of the high recreational value and close representativeness to the prevailing landscape character as assessed by Nottinghamshire County Council. Development of the site would result in an illogical extension of the urban edge as a finger perpendicular to the existing settlement line, extending the settlement into the rural setting. Despite this, the landscape susceptibility is considered to be low and the overall landscape sensitivity is low. Visually, there is a low value, although the Grantham Canal has recreational value. There are a medium number of receptors and a general overall low visibility of the site, feeding into a low visual susceptibility. Overall there is a low visual sensitivity.

Green infrastructure: There are no green infrastructure or open space assets within the site. If developed alongside COT9 multifunctional green infrastructure could be delivered.

Historic environment: There are no designated heritage assets within the site. Grantham Canal is located close to the boundary, however it is unlikely to affect the setting of this site significantly.

Nature conservation: There are no designated nature conservation assets within the site. Grantham Canal is located close to the boundary, however it is unlikely to affect this site significantly. Ponds and hedgerows within the site that should be retained and or enhanced in terms of their nature conservation value.

Air quality / contamination: Not within or in the vicinity of an Air Quality Management Area.

Community facilities: Full range of facilities exist within Cotgrave. Cotgrave is a key settlement with a local centre that includes convenience (local supermarket) and a limited number of comparison shops, public houses and fast food establishments. A leisure Centre and gym is also available.

Highways and access: Site access would have to be achieved through the proposed allocation.

Accessibility: Within walking distance of Cotgrave connection, which runs at least 3 times an hour during Monday-Friday daytime, with services in the evenings and weekends. Reasonably located in terms of proximity to the precinct.

Other issues: None stated

Agricultural land: Grade 3 agricultural land

Deliverability: Site being promoted by national house builder. Delivery would be dependent on if access can be achieved through the proposed allocation.

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: Proximity to the Grantham Canal and the biodiversity, heritage and recreational benefits it provides is a constraint. The site constitutes a prominent intrusion into the Green Belt / open countryside and the land adjacent to the canal is within flood zones 2 and 3.
