Appendix 5: Detailed Site Assessment TablesSiteSite andSurroundingAreasInformationGT.12 Milward Road open space, Keynsham, BS31 2DSThe site is 0.12 hectares.The site is within the Keynsham housing development boundary.The site benefits from good access to services and facilities.The site is screened from properties at Milward Road by mature trees. Though this vegetation is not dense and would notobscure development, it would reduce the impact of development on the neighbouring properties.HighwaysSite ConstraintsThere is no existing vehicular access on to the site though there is the potential for this to be established from Milward Roadwhich has a good standard of access. The site currently has a footpath running roughly diagonally through it to St. Johns Court.Works would be required to establish full vehicular access from Milward Road. No highway problems are considered likely toarise from the use of this site as residential accommodation.The site is in a location highly sensitive to any form of additional development. The site is located adjacent to existing dwellingsat Milward Road and St. Johns Court. The site is overlooked from the St. Johns Court sheltered housing flats. Whilst the site isrelatively well screened to the west by existing mature trees, screening to establish site resident privacy would be more difficultto the east at the boundary with St. Johns Court.Development at this location would likely not assist the promotion of peaceful and integrated co-existence between the site andthe locality, as required by national planning policy. It would also be considerably difficult to establish residents’ amenity andprivacy; the development of this site would likely also have a harmful impact on the amenities of neighbouring occupiers.Potential forDevelopment andSuitabilityThe site is in a highly accessible location. It is located adjacent to existing residential properties to its east, west and southboundaries. The development of this site would meet an identified need.The site is in a sensitive location which would require mitigation works, including landscaping, to establish residential amenityand privacy. The site is otherwise suitable for development.
