Key Environmental and Technical Matters
The proposal will consider all relevant technical and environmental matters which will need to be addressed in demonstrating that the proposed development is suitable and will not give rise to any unacceptable environmental impacts.
A vehicular and pedestrian access will be available from Primrose Terrace using the existing access point. Required safety measures will be fully consulted upon and agreed with the local highway authority. The proposed development makes provision for on-site car-parking for residents, staff and visitors. Sufficient disabled car parking spaces will also be made available. As the site is situated within walking distance of public transport links, it is envisioned that the majority of residents will not need to rely on the use of a private vehicle.
Highways
The site is located within Flood Zone 1 of the Environment Agency’s Flood Map for Planning. It is therefore at the lowest risk of flooding. The proposals will be fully assessed by our engineers to ensure that the proposal appropriately manages all surface water and foul drainage on the site.
Flood Risk and Drainage
An Ecological Appraisal will be undertaken to assess the ecological value of the existing site and provide recommendations for biodiversity enhancement. Existing natural assets will be protected and enhanced where possible, in particular, the proposals prioritise the retention and enhancement of the trees along the southern boundary.
Biodiversity
A Ground Contamination Survey will be undertaken, and the site will be remediated where necessary.
