Site on Brownfield Register: No

Green Belt: Apart from nos. 67 ad 69 Nottingham Road, the site (CBI/G in the Green Belt Review) is very much open countryside with a clear delineation between it and Nottingham Road. There is also a lack of defensible boundary to the south of the site. Scoring 13, it is considered that the site is low-medium importance when assessed against the purposes of including land within it.

Flood risk: The site is not identified as at risk of flooding from watercourses. The northern part of the site is identified as at risk of flooding from surface water.

Landscape assessment: The landscape assessment scored CBI1a: 54/100. The site comprises one pastoral field and lies south of the main thoroughfare through Cropwell Bishop, Nottingham Road. There is a good network of PRoW's within the study area and a recreational walkway along Grantham Canal. There are some conservational interests within the study area which are not directly related to the site. There is an overall medium landscape value within the study area and an attractive village setting. There is a low susceptibility to change due to the perception of infill and a continuation of the existing. 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 core, situated along a busy road. The overall visual susceptibility is medium as the site as the site is part of the village setting. Overall, there is a relatively low visual sensitivity.

Green infrastructure: The site does not contain any existing green infrastructure or publicly accessible open spaces. Limited opportunities to provide significant green infrastructure. Site is in close proximity to the Memorial Playing Fields.

Historic environment: There are no designated heritage assets within or adjacent to the site. It is however a former Gypsum quarry site and unquarried area include medieval building platforms, hollows and trackway. Local interest buildings to north on corner of Kinoulton Road and Nottingham Road. 67 and 69 Nottingham Road are identified as local interest buildings.

Nature conservation: There are no identified nature conservation interests within the site. 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: The site is not within an air quality management area.

Community facilities: Cropwell Bishop contains a primary school, shop, public houses, hairdresser, butcher and sandwich shop.

Highways and access: Should be acceptable, would prefer to see access taken off of Nottingham Road as Kinoulton Road Junction has substandard visibility.

Accessibility: The village is served by bus service 33 which connects Nottingham to Radcliffe on Trent/Sutton Cum Granby via Cropwell Bishop and to Bingham respectively. The service is between Monday and Saturday only with no service on Sundays. Also bus service 833 provides an hourly service to and from Bingham throughout the day, excluding Sundays. The site is around 500-600 metres from the village's convenience shop and the primary school but closer to those retail and community buildings on Nottingham Road.

Other issues: There is a mine entry identified in the south eastern corner of the site. Possible past gypsum activities or trial bore for coal.

Agricultural land: The site is identified as Grade 3 agricultural land. The land is left as pasture.

Deliverability: Representation received during consultation on LAPP Further Issues and Options, indicating willingness to develop the site.

Suitability: Could be suitable

Availability: Available 11 to 15 year

Achievability: Achievable 11 to 15 years

Delivery period: Not applicable

Delivery: Could be suitable if policy changes 5+ years

Overall summary: Local Plan 2 allocated one site for housing development at Cropwell Bishop (CBI/005). It was not considered appropriate or necessary to identify any further sites adjacent to the village. Any further significant development adjacent to the village would be contrary to adopted local plan policies which states development should be limited to infill or exception sites for local needs. This site is not constrained by access, heritage, biodiversity or flooding issues that cannot be mitigated and it is located close to public transport services on Nottingham Road. Although within the Green Belt the land is deemed to be of low-medium Green Belt importance. The land is considered to have greater landscape and visual sensitivity than some other sites on the edge of Cropwell Bishop.

Site on Brownfield Register: No

Green Belt: Site CBI/A in the Green Belt Review. The site rises lightly away from Nottingham Road. Whilst the site is in agricultural use, it is well contained from the wider countryside by the Grantham Canal to the west, the Memorial Hall and Grounds to the south and hedgerow to the north.

Whilst development of the site would encroach into the countryside, sprawl would be limited to the west by the course of the Grantham Canal, and would not significantly reduce the distance between Cropwell Bishop and Cotgrave to the west. With a score of 12, it is concluded that the site is of low-medium importance when assessed against the five purposes for including land within it.

Flood risk: The site is not at risk of flooding from watercourses. Parts of the site are at risk of flooding from surface water.

Landscape assessment: Landscape appraisal score 58/100. The site comprises two arable fields and lies north of Cropwell Bishop Memorial Hall off Nottingham Road. There is a good network of PRoW's within the study area with Cropwell Bishop BW10 and FP12 running along the sites eastern and western boundaries. there is also a recreational walkway along Grantham Canal adjacent to the site. There are some conservational interests within the study area which are not directly related to the site. There is an overall medium landscape value within the study area and an attractive village setting. There is a low susceptibility to change due to the perception of a slight increase in urbanisation. The sensitivity of the landscape character is low overall. Visually, there are some indicators of value relating to Grantham Canal. There is a medium number of potential receptors due to the site forming part of the village edge. The overall visual susceptibility is medium as the site as the site is part of the village setting. Overall, there is a medium visual sensitivity.

Green infrastructure: There is existing Green Infrastructure adjacent to the canal in the form of the Grantham Canal corridor. In addition there is a public footpath that runs along the sites western boundary and a public bridleway along its eastern boundary. Hedgerow corridors should be retained and enhanced, along with the public right of way corridors.

Historic environment: There are no designated historic assets within or adjacent to the site. The Grantham canal is a historic non-designated heritage asset and runs along the western boundary of the site. Archaeology consists of clay pits which cut through medieval banks and ridge and furrow remains.

Nature conservation: There are no identified nature conservation interests within the site. The field is in agricultural use. The western boundary is a substantial corridor of the former Grantham Canal. 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: The site is not located within an Air Quality Management Area.

Community facilities: Cropwell Bishop contains a primary school, shop, public houses, hairdresser, butcher and sandwich shop.

Highways and access: Mercia Avenue is 5.7m wide and Hoe View Road is 6.8m wide. Based on these widths the highway design guide states they can serve up to 150 and 400 dwellings respectively. As there is no record of any accidents at either of the two junctions, and they appear to meet the requisite visibility standards, there are no specific Highway related issue that would prohibit up to 120 dwellings on this site being put forward for consideration. The east and the west of the site would have to remain undeveloped in order to provide a 10 metre easement to a watercourse, in part to retain two public rights of way.

Accessibility: The village is served by bus service 33 which connects Nottingham to Radcliffe on Trent/Sutton Cum Granby via Cropwell Bishop and to Bingham respectively. The service is between Monday and Saturday only with no service on Sundays. Also bus service 833 provides an hourly service to and from Bingham throughout the day, excluding Sundays. The site is around 500-600 metres from the village's convenience shop and the primary school but closer to those retail and community buildings Nottingham Road.

Other issues: The east and the west of the site would have to remain undeveloped in order to provide a 10 metre easement to a watercourse, to retain two public rights of way within the site and to protect the setting of the Grantham Canal, a non-designated heritage asset.

Agricultural land: The site is identified as Grade 3 agricultural land.

Deliverability: The site is being promoted on behalf of the landowner by a house builder.

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: Local Plan 2 allocated one site for housing development at Cropwell Bishop (CBI/005). It was not considered appropriate or necessary to identify any further sites adjacent to the village. Any further significant development adjacent to the village would be contrary to adopted local plan policies which states development should be limited to infill or exception sites for local needs. The site is not significantly constrained by heritage, biodiversity, landscape or flooding issues that cannot be mitigated and it is located close to public transport services on Nottingham dwellings off Mercia Avenue although this would have to be through an existing residential cul-de-sac.

Green Belt: Site CBI/B in the Green Belt Review is contained on its western boundary by the Grantham Canal, however it differs from site CBI/A in terms of its Green Belt importance as part of the site is more prominent than CBI/A on its approach to Hoe Hill and its width is greater in distance. It is considered therefore that development of the site would lead to a greater degree of sprawl. Scoring 14, it is concluded that the site is towards the upper end of low-medium green belt importance when assessed against the purposes of including land within it.

Flood risk: The site is not at risk of flooding from watercourses. Parts of the site are at risk of flooding from surface water flooding.

Landscape assessment: Landscape appraisal assesses CBI2 and CBI3 together as CBI3 would not be developed in isolation. Land scored 66/100. The site comprises four fields of arable and rough/ equestrian character. The site lies north of Cropwell Bishop Memorial Hall. There is a good network of PRoW's within the study area with Cropwell Bishop BW10 and FP12 running along the sites eastern and western boundaries. There is also a recreational walkway along Grantham Canal adjacent to the site. There are some conservational interests within the study area which are not directly related to the site. There is an overall medium landscape value within the study area and an attractive rural character. There is a medium susceptibility to change due to the rural character of the site and the visibility. The sensitivity of the landscape character is medium overall. Visually, there are some indicators of value relating to Grantham Canal. There is a medium number of potential receptors due to the site forming part of the village edge. The overall visual susceptibility is medium as the site as the site is part of the village edge. Overall, there is a medium visual sensitivity.

Green infrastructure: Existing hedgerows and grassland that has the quality to be identified as a Local Wildlife Site, a non-statutory designation. The Grantham Canal corridor also runs along the western boundary. Where possible, the grassland should be retained and its biodiversity value enhanced, together with the retention of hedgerows and corridors along the public rights of way.

Historic environment: There are no designated historic assets within or adjacent to the site. The Grantham canal is a historic non-designated heritage asset and runs along the western boundary of the site. It is recorded as a monument record in the County Council's Historic Environment Record. Archaeology consists of clay pits which cut through medieval banks and ridge and furrow remains.

Nature conservation: One of the fields in the northern half of the site is identified as a Local Wildlife Site (Hoe hill Pasture) on the basis that it is a rich, dry calcareous grassland community. The Grantham Canal adjacent to the site is also identified as a Local Wildlife Site on the basis that it is a long stretch of disused canal providing a good variety of aquatic, marsh, and dry grassland communities. The remaining three fields are in agricultural use. The western boundary is the substantial corridor of the former Grantham Canal. 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: The site is not within or adjacent to an air quality management zone.

Community facilities: Cropwell Bishop contains a primary school, shop, public houses, hairdresser, butcher and sandwich shop.

Highways and access: Access off of Nottingham Road unlikely to be acceptable without significant alterations to infrastructure. A four arm roundabout incorporating Kinoulton Road would be required which may prove difficult to engineer to the appropriate standard. Would most likely require 3rd party land. The access would be better located to the West of the Village Hall but again this would require 3rd party land. If only 150 dwellings (in combination with CBI02) it may be possible to serve off of Mercia Avenue.

Accessibility: The village is served by bus service 33 which connects Nottingham to Radcliffe on Trent/Sutton Cum Granby via Cropwell Bishop and to Bingham respectively. The service is between Monday and Saturday only with no service on Sundays. Also bus service 833 provides an hourly service to and from Bingham throughout the day, excluding Sundays. The site is around 500-600 metres from the village's convenience shop and the primary school but closer to those retail and community buildings Nottingham Road.

Other issues: None identified

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

Deliverability: The site is being promoted by agents acting on behalf of the landowner. There is no known developer interest in the site through an option agreement.

Suitability: Could be suitable

Availability: Available 11 to 15 year

Achievability: Achievable 11 to 15 years

Delivery period: Not applicable

Delivery: Could be suitable if policy changes 5+ years

Overall summary: Local Plan 2 allocated one site for housing development at Cropwell Bishop (CBI/005). It was not considered appropriate or necessary to identify any further sites adjacent to the village. Any further significant development adjacent to the village would be contrary to adopted local plan policies which states development should be limited to infill or exception sites for local needs. The site is not constrained by flooding issues that cannot be mitigated. The site includes a local wildlife site, ridge and furrow and clay pits. All of which would be lost if the site were allocated and developed. In addition the site is deemed to be of greater landscape and visual sensitivity than the majority of sites on the edge of Cropwell Bishop. Access onto Nottingham Road would require significant road improvements. Proximity to the Grantham Canal, a historical, recreational and biodiversity asset is also a constraint. Impacts on this locally important feature should be mitigated. Absence of recent representation from landowner indicates that land may not be deliverable.

Site on Brownfield Register: No

Green Belt: Site CBI/F in the Green Belt Review. Land scored 11 against Green Belt purposes representing a site of low Green Belt importance. Whilst part of the area assessed is prominent, it is considered that the vast majority of the area assessed is contained by development and therefore scores low in relation to sprawl and countryside encroachment. It is considered that the land is of low Green Belt importance when assessed against the purposes for including land within it.

Flood risk: The site is within Flood zone 1. A small area in the north western corner of site is at a low risk of surface water flooding

Landscape assessment: Aggregate LVIA Score: 61/100. The site comprises two small fields of pastoral and rough/ equestrian character. The site lies north of Fern Road on the eastern edge of the village. There is a good network of PRoW's within the study area with Cropwell Bishop FP2 intersecting the site. There are some conservational interests within the study area which are not directly related to the site. There is an overall medium landscape value within the study area and an attractive rural edge to the village. There is a medium susceptibility to change due to the rural character of the site. The sensitivity of the landscape character is medium overall. Visually, there are no indicators of value. There is a medium number of potential receptors due to the site forming part of the village edge. The overall visual susceptibility is medium as the site as the site is part of the village edge. Overall, there is a low visual sensitivity.

Green infrastructure: Existing hedgerows provide wildlife corridors/shelter belts and a footpath which crosses the site north/south. There are limited opportunities, due to the scale of the site to provide comprehensive multi-functional green infrastructure. Areas of natural greenspace which preserve hedgerows/create shelter belts, protect the RoW and create wildlife corridors and amenity space could be incorporated into the design of the scheme.

Historic environment: There are no designated historic assets within the site. Site contains building platforms, trackways and remains of field system, central to site (along Cropwell Butler Road frontage). Two buildings of local interest are located in close proximity. 54/56 Fernhill Road is opposite the site and 6 Stockwell Lane is next to the site. Setting of St Giles Church (Grade I) may be adversely affected.

Nature conservation: There are no designated nature conservation assets within the site or in close proximity. It is however bounded by and contains hedgerows in varied condition which are a LBAP habitat. Maps indicate a pond is located on the site's northern boundary (these are also a LBAP habitat). 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 or in close proximity of an Air Quality Management Area.

Community facilities: Cropwell Bishop contains a primary school, shop, public houses, hairdresser, butcher and sandwich shop.

Highways and access: No concerns in principle, provided subsequent applications can demonstrate visibility can be achieved. There is problem with speeding in this area with vehicles approaching from the North. Visibility is constrained by bends in the road either side as well as a crest in the vertical alignment. May require extension of existing 30mph limit / village gateway signs. We would also wish to see the footway back into the village improved.

Accessibility: The village is served by bus service 33 which connects Nottingham to Radcliffe on Trent / Sutton Cum Granby via Cropwell Bishop and to Bingham respectively. The service is between Monday and Saturday only with no service on Sundays. Also bus service 833 provides an hourly service to and from Bingham throughout the day, excluding Sundays. Site is close to convenience store and primary school and some of the retail and community facilities on Fern Road/Nottingham Road.

The site is not constrained by flooding or access issues that cannot be mitigated. Although within the Green Belt the land is deemed to be of low Green Belt importance. The site is however constrained by locally important heritage features, including ridge and furrow, and local priority habitats. The impacts on the former could not be mitigated. It is also deemed to be of greater landscape and visual sensitivity than other sites on the edge of Cropwell Bishop.

Site on Brownfield Register: No

Green Belt: The was removed from the Green Belt following the adoption of the Local Plan Part 2 and the allocation is the site.

Flood risk: The site is within Flood zone 1. Land within the lower lying area of the site, closer to Cropwell Bishop and the Sewage Treatment Works is identified as being at a high risk of surface water flooding, with medium and low risk areas also.

Landscape assessment: Aggregate LVIA score: 54/100. The site is part of a wider arable field on the north-eastern edge of Cropwell Bishop and is crossed by / bounded by a number of public rights of way. There is an overall low landscape sensitivity within the site. The landscape value is medium, owing in part to the well managed quality of the study area, which offers a variety of recreational assets, as well as including the attractive rural fringe to the village. The landscape susceptibility is low despite the loss of a small portion of the rural setting to the village. Visually, the rural setting contributes to the value, but this remains low overall given the lack of other contributors. The visual susceptibility, however, is medium as the site forms part of the rural outlook for both residential and recreational receptors in the study area. The visual sensitivity overall is medium.

Green infrastructure: The site is bounded by public footpaths which link Cropwell Bishop with the wider rights of way network and open countryside. These should be retained and impacts on their recreational enjoyment minimised through provision of multifunctional GI and open spaces.

Historic environment: There are no designated historic assets within the site. One building of local interest is located in close proximity on Church Street. Heritage Environment Record identifies a bank and hollows off church Street. It is also close to the historic village core. Archaeology pump and spring on spring hill, central to site. No archaeological investigation however springs are often a focus for activity.

Nature conservation: There are no designated nature conservation assets within the site or in close proximity. It is however bounded by hedgerows in varied condition which are a LBAP habitat. 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 or in close proximity of an Air Quality Management Area.

Community facilities: Cropwell Bishop contains a primary school, shop, public houses, hairdresser, butcher and sandwich shop.

Highways and access: Would probably require mini-roundabout due visibility constraints. If only 70 dwellings, a single point of access would suffice.

Accessibility: The village is served by bus service 33 which connects Nottingham to Radcliffe on Trent / Sutton Cum Granby via Cropwell Bishop and to Bingham respectively. The service is between Monday and Saturday only with no service on Sundays. Also bus service 833 provides an hourly service to and from Bingham throughout the day, excluding Sundays. Site is particularly close to convenience store and primary school.

Other issues: The area to the north is adjacent to the Sewage Treatment Works and residential development in this area is not compatible with this use.

Agricultural land: The land is classified as Grade 3 agricultural land.

Green Belt: The site is located within the Green Belt.

Flood risk: The site is located within flood zone 1. The site is not a risk from surface water flooding.

Landscape assessment: VB01 Vale of Belvoir - The character strength of the area is strong. The area has a consistent rural character with few urban features. It is a flat arable landscape with large regular field patterns and pockets of woodland. The pattern varies closer to the settlements, where smaller pastoral fields create a sense of enclosure. Land alters between arable farming which is slightly more open and the more enclosed and intimate pastoral fields. However the rural landscape has distinctive church towers and spires which are visible above scattered wooded edged settlements and occasional individual large farm buildings are consistent across the DPZ. The site rises fairly steeply from N-S and the southern part of the site is prominent.

Green infrastructure: Existing hedgerows provide wildlife corridors/shelter belts. There are limited opportunities, due to the scale of the site to provide comprehensive multi-functional green infrastructure. Areas of natural greenspace which preserve hedgerows/create shelter belts and create wildlife corridors and amenity space could be incorporated into the design of the scheme.

Landscape assessment: SN06 – Aslockton Village Farmlands. The overall landscape strategy is ‘Conserve and Enhance’. The landscape condition is moderate. The character strength is strong. The area has a relatively uniform character of arable fields, linear blocks and clumps of woodland and small distinctive rural villages (LCA 2009)

Green infrastructure: There is existing Green Infrastructure in the form of the Grantham Canal corridor. There is also existing woodland on Hoe Hill. Hedgerow corridors should be retained and enhanced, along with the public right of way corridors.

Historic environment: Grantham Canal 7 mile post is Grade II Listed and located east of Foss Bridge. Grantham Canal itself is a non-designated heritage asset. Many buildings and structures along its length are identified within the HER. This includes locks and kilns. Site includes significant length Many buildings and structures along its length are identified within the HER. This includes locks and kilns. Site includes significant length of the canal between the Foss Way and Cropwell Bishop. If developed it could significantly affect the historic rural setting of the canal, including the various buildings, structures and features, including the listed 7 mile post. Potential harm to archaeological features. Especially around Hoe Hill. Avoid development encroaching close to the canal. Utilise this undeveloped area to enhance the canal as a green infrastructure asset/corridor. Archaeological investigation – nature of archaeology should be readily detectable via magnetometry survey in support of any allocation and/or planning application.

Nature conservation: Local Wildlife Sites within the site 2/500 Grantham Canal and 2/506 Berry Hill pond. 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. Woodland and canal corridor would need protecting and enhancing.
