Appendix 5: Detailed Site Assessment TablesSiteSite andSurroundingAreasDescriptionGT.15 Land at The Drive, Stanton Drew, BS39 4DQThe site is 0.4 hectares.The site lies immediately adjacent to the housing development boundary of Stanton Drew. The site is broadly triangular andcomprises Chew Valley Scout Hut and play space.The site has relatively poor access to local services and facilities.The site benefits from existing roadside screening with minimal overlooking of the site from neighbouring residential properties.The site could be further landscaped to ensure resident privacy and amenity .HighwaysSite ConstraintsAccess to the site for the existing use is from The Drive. Access from Bromley Road would require works as the Class 4 road ispresently very narrow and constrains access for large vehicles. Removal of hedgebank would be required to establish accessfrom this road. Access from The Drive for a Gypsy or Traveller site is more appropriate than from the adjoining boundary atBromley Road and is likely to be acceptable.The site is covered by Local Plan policy SR.1A (Public Open Space) which deems the site unsuitable for redevelopment.The site is located within the Green Belt.Potential forDevelopment andSuitabilityThe site is not in an accessible location but is located adjacent to existing residential properties. The development of this sitewould meet an identified need and provides a flat area of land suitable for development.This site is not considered suitable for development as a Gypsy and Traveller site due to the application of Local Plan policySR.1A preventing development of recreational public open space.A full highways assessment would be required to ascertain suitability for residential development should the site be consideredfor development in the long term.
