Brownfield or greenfield: Greenfield

Dwelling capacity: 340

Density (dwellings/hectare): 20

Site source: Developer / Landowner Submission

Planning reference: None

Type of site: Adjoining other village

Allocated site reference: None

Status: No formal allocation or no extant planning permission for residential development.

Number of dwellings remaining: 0

Source of number of dwellings: Assumption made on best estimate

Site on Brownfield Register: No

Green Belt: The site is located within the Green Belt. Land south of Melton Road has not be assessed within a Green Belt Review. The development of this land (either side of Melton Road) would merge Tollerton with Plumtree.

Flood risk: Parts of the site are at varying degrees of risk from surface water flooding and flooding from watercourses.

Landscape assessment: SN04 – Cotgrave and Tollerton Village Farmlands. The overall landscape strategy is ‘Enhance and Restore’. The landscape condition is moderate. The character strength of the area is moderate. The area has a relatively uniform character of arable fields with prominent village fringes. Urban elements are frequent and exert a strong influence. Man-made elements and landform have a localised influence on character (LCA 2009)

Green infrastructure: Whilst the site is in agricultural use it contains watercourses and hedgerows some trees and a pond. These features should be retained and enhanced.

Historic environment: South of the grounds of Tollerton Hall, which is a non designated historic park and garden. Records of roman pottery scatter and medieval pottery found on the site

Nature conservation: No designated sites of nature conservation importance within the site. Parts of the site are within 1km of the Normanton Pastures SSSI.

Air quality / contamination: Land is not within or close proximity to an AQMA.

Community facilities: The site is adjacent to Tollerton. Tollerton contains a primary school, a Post Office, pub, petrol station, a parish office and several small shop units.

Highways and access: The indicative masterplan submitted with the representation received to the Greater Nottingham Strategic Plan shows a point of access onto Tollerton Lane and a point of Access onto Melton Road where the junction to the road to Keyworth is situated. There is currently no view from the highways authority whether the access arrangements are acceptable in principle. In addition the existing A606 junction requires improvement as a result existing allocations East of Gamston / North of Tollerton and at Keyworth.

Accessibility: The Keyworth bus runs along Melton Road providing a regular service into Nottingham and the majority of basic facilities within Tollerton are within walking distance.

Other issues: None stated

Agricultural land: The provisional agricultural land classification for the site is grade 3.

Deliverability: Site is fundamentally constrained by the Green Belt which prevents the merging of Plumtree and Tollerton.

Suitability: Not suitable

Availability: Available 11 to 15 years

Achievability: Not achievable

Delivery period: Not applicable

Delivery: Non Deliverable or Developable

Overall summary: The site is constrained by the Green Belt. Development of the site would effectively coalesce Tollerton and Plumtree, where one principle of the Green Belt is to prevent places from merging. It is therefore extremely unlikely that development would be acceptable on this scale and in this location.

Overall summary: Suggested capacity 5-10 dwellings. Given the sites location suggest the lower is more appropriate. The site is within the green belt a distance away from the recently defined inset boundary. The important considerations in relation to this site are its potential impacts on the settings of grade 1 and grade 2 listed buildings, the present site access and its green belt status.
