Site to West – point 5 Site to West – point 6 Site to South West – point 7 Site to South of site – point 8 Site Use Site Area 0.59 hectares Local Plan Reference (if Inset map Salisbury West applicable) Current site use: • The site currently consists 3 detached dwellings with associated gardens Previous use: • N/A Capacity Category • Brownfield Site Characteristics Topography • Predominately flat land although slightly sloping to the South of the site Access: • The site can be accessed off Lower Road. Flood Risk • The site adjoins flood zone 3 according to the Environment Agency Public Transport Provision • A number of bus services can be caught from the area, which serves all parts of the district. The site is also located in close proximity of the Location of nearest services city centre of Salisbury, being approximately 2.5km away. • The site is located in the Ward of Bemerton and has easy access to a range of local facilities including both primary and secondary schools, post office, shop, public houses, doctors and dentist. More facilities are available in the city centre. Physical Constraints • River to the South of the site • Landscape Adjacent land uses • To the West of the site is recreation open space and to the East are existing dwellings and to the south is the Harnham Water Meadows. Surrounding Storey Height Local Plan Policy constraints Timeframe for development Current Planning permission Relevant Planning History • Two storey dwellings • H16 – The site is located within the Housing Policy Boundary • C11 – The site is located next to an Area of High Ecological Value • CN21 – Area of Special Archaeological Significance • Before 2011 • None • None
Estimated dwelling capacity on site • C.17 at 30 dph (area is predominately characterised by large plot sizes so actual number allowed would have to reflect this). Known Developer • None beyond agent and landowner Interest Suitability for nonhousing development • The site is small in size and is within an existing residential area, and would therefore not be suitable for non-housing development. Deliverability • Deliverable although there are issues over landscape Developability • The site is relatively large in size and in principle is suitable for redevelopment. • The river to the south and the impact any development will have on the area of high ecological value are considerations in any future development. • Plot sizes in this area are traditionally large in size and therefore future development would need to respect this. • The site is located within close proximity to an area of high ecological value. The Harnham Water Meadows are afforded a certain amount of protection and this along with the need to ensure the existing character of the area is protected could make the site un-developable. • Furthermore there are traffic implications with the road that runs alongside the site, which would need to be addressed. Comments: Part of the site could come forward for development immediately subject to assessment at the planning application stage, as it is located within the Housing Policy Boundary as defined by the current Salisbury District Local Plan. In terms of inclusion in the SHLAA it is considered that due to the site being Brownfield, in principle it is suitable for redevelopment. The site would only be suitable for low density housing development although issues of access and landscape/sensitivity would have to be addressed.
