There is opportunity for additional residential development (10 dwellings) in Staplecross.
The land is contained in the landscape by established boundary features and the falling ground means that dwellings sited on the land could have a low impact on the wider surroundings. The development could be regarded as a logical rounding off to the settlement. The additional number of dwellings proposed is modest but would contribute to supporting local services in a sustainable way.
It is requested that the development boundary is amended to include this area.
AMI Structural Ltd will be developing the dwellings referred to in paragraph 16.27 of the DaSA Local Plan and a start on site is expected in 2017.
At 16.28 it suggests "given the absence of opportunities for expansion into the very rural and distinct countryside setting, no other development boundary amendments proposed".
AMI Structural Ltd however considers there is an opportunity for additional residential development in Staplecross by extending the approved development southwards on land which could accommodate 10 dwellings served by the new estate road. An indicative layout is submitted and a plan showing the extent
of the site edged in red.
The land is contained in the landscape by established boundary features and the falling ground (southwards) means that dwellings sited on the land could have a low impact on the wider surroundings. In the context of the approved development for 25 houses the proposed site could be regarded as a logical rounding off to the settlement. The additional number of dwellings proposed is modest but would contribute to supporting local services in the village in a sustainable way.
It is requested that the development boundary is amended to include not only the permitted housing site but also the land south of the permitted housing site to the extent shown edged in red on the attached plan (Drawing No. 1322/52)
