Appendix 5: Detailed Site Assessment Tablescircumstances identified above, the site is considered suitable subject to appropriate contaminated l<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> highwaysassessments being conducted.Availability <strong>and</strong>AchievabilityThe l<strong>and</strong> is available for development now <strong>and</strong> benefits from existing on-site amenities. Conversion of existing buildings to formday/utility rooms is achievable without significant rebuilding or extension but would have associated costs. There would also becost implications arising from site remediation.The site owner wishes to dispose of the site <strong>and</strong> is currently being marketed by an agent. The site may be suitable for theCouncil or a Registered Provider to deliver which would have the benefit of enabling delivery of affordable accommodation.Site CapacityThe site consists of three main levels of flat l<strong>and</strong>, separated by slopes. These are the areas upon which the capacity calculationis based; the wider area of l<strong>and</strong> includes very steeply sloping l<strong>and</strong> towards the east <strong>and</strong> south. This area is covered in fairlydense vegetation <strong>and</strong> would be difficult to develop <strong>and</strong> is hence omitted from the capacity calculation.Based on 500m 2 pitch sizes (including for internal circulation, residents <strong>and</strong> visitor parking), the site of 2.5ha would have aholding capacity of 50 pitches, suitable for a permanent or transit site, or a mix of the two. Based on discussions with the siteagent <strong>and</strong> national guidance, an alternative figure of a maximum of 20 pitches is recommended for the site to take account ofsite topography, the existing level of buildings on-site <strong>and</strong> the need to provide a safe living environment. This is to be comprisedof 15 permanent <strong>and</strong> 5 transit pitches.Recommendation The site should be allocated for a maximum of 15 permanent pitches <strong>and</strong> 5 transit pitches.
