To preserve residential amenity and privacy it may be suitableto require landscaping at the boundary with the existing residential properties.Part of the site is brownfield land. The remainder is greenfield.The site is within the Radstock Conservation Area, though the existing industrial use would indicate that change of use toresidential may not result in any significant change in impact on the Conservation Area.HighwaysSite ConstraintsExisting site access is acceptable for the current use by Heavy Goods Vehicles transporting minerals (HGVs). Access forcaravans and larger vehicles is likely to be acceptable here.Access to services and facilities is relatively poor at this location.
