Appendix 5: Detailed Site Assessment TablesSiteSite andSurroundingAreasInformationHighwaysSite ConstraintsPotential forDevelopment andSuitabilityGT.1 Parcel 7100, Woollard Lane, WhitchurchSite is 0.51 hectares.Located just outside Whitchurch settlement boundary.Site comprises land benefiting from an existing temporary planning permission for change of use to small private Gypsy site tosite 1 mobile home and 1 touring caravan.The site is well screened from the surrounding highways and residential area. The site has a well-established perimeter hedgeat the south and (part) south west boundaries with the remainder being screened by fencing and planting. The site is notconsidered to be sensitive and the impact of additional development is not considered to have a detrimental visual impact, noradversely impact on the character of the area. Further perimeter screen fencing (such as 1.8m close board) would be beneficialto ensure existing vegetation was retained and managed.The existing temporary planning permission required the construction of a new vehicular access with suitable visibility splays.The site is considered acceptable for its impact on local highways.The site is located within the Green Belt but has been identified by the previous planning application as presenting benefits thatoutweigh the harm to the Green Belt and loss of openness in this location.The site benefits from an existing temporary planning permission for use as a Gypsy site, is in private ownership and thelandowner would like to establish it as a permanent site for the use of his family.The development of this site would meet an identified need and would benefit a single family who have established residency, inparticular with the resident’s children enrolled in local schools. Childrens Services have also indicated that the ability to obtain alocal primary school place is more likely to be easier than in other locations. This is a long term benefit of the allocation of thisland for development.On-site services and utilities are already established.
