Proposed Development
3.388 The western portion of the site contains an undevelopable woodland bank that
should be maintained and enhanced for screening purposes and for biodiversity enhancement.
There is potential for incorporating multifunctional SUDs within any proposed development.
The trees on the eastern boundary provide screening from views on Stonehall Road, and
should be retained and incorporated into the design and layout.
3.389 The site lies adjacent to the Primary School and enhancements should be made to
pedestrian and cycle connectivity to the existing network and if achievable to the Primary
School.
3.390 Early discussions should take place with Southern Water regarding connection to
the wider sewerage and water distribution systems, which would need to be taken into
account in the layout proposal of any planning application.
3.391 In line with guidance contained in Annex 1 of this Plan (paragraphs 1.20 - to 1.23)
a financial contribution is sought to address the cumulative ‘in combination’ impact of
developments of greater than 15 dwellings on European designated nature conservation
sites.

and countryside;
ii. the woodland bank to the north is maintained and enhanced ;
iii.
iv.
trees on the eastern boundary retained and incorporated into the design and layout;
cycle and footway connections are established to connect to the existing network

sandwich Bay SPA;
vi.
vii.
development should provide a connection to the sewerage system at the nearest
point of adequate capacity; and
if street lighting is required this should be designed to minimise the impact of light
pollution and conserve the dark night skies of the AONB.
