Appendix 5: Detailed Site Assessment TablesSiteSite <strong>and</strong>SurroundingAreasInformationGT.23 L<strong>and</strong> at junction of Redlynch Lane <strong>and</strong> Charlton Road, Queen Charlton, BS31 2JKThe site is 1.8 hectares.The site is outside the Keynsham housing development boundary <strong>and</strong> set away from Queen Charlton village but is visible fromthe Queen Charlton Conservation Area.The site has poor access to local services <strong>and</strong> facilities.The site contains a barn which has the potential for conversion to form a dayroom.HighwaysThe site is not bounded by any public highway <strong>and</strong> has no existing vehicular access to Redlynch Lane.Access would likely have to be established through the neighbouring l<strong>and</strong>, currently occupied by an untolerated Travellerdevelopment. Access to the site would be dependent upon gaining control of sufficient additional l<strong>and</strong> to provide a full st<strong>and</strong>ardaccess in the interests of highway safety, <strong>and</strong> addressing any safety concerns at the junction of Redlynch Lane with CharltonRoad.Site ConstraintsThe site benefits from mature hedgerows at its north <strong>and</strong> east boundaries, but is highly visible from Redlynch Lane <strong>and</strong> in widerviews from Queen Charlton. Additional screening could be introduced to the site but would not prevent these wider views.The site is located within open countryside; the introduction of caravans <strong>and</strong> other development associated with a Traveller sitewould be inappropriate in this location. The site is adjacent to l<strong>and</strong> occupied by an untolerated Traveller development. That sitehas been the subject of several planning applications <strong>and</strong> appeals, the most recent of which was the subject of a High Courtchallenge which was dismissed. Allocating site GT.23 would be contrary to the planning history set by those planningapplications <strong>and</strong> appeals.Potential forDevelopment <strong>and</strong>SuitabilityThe site is in a location with very poor access to services <strong>and</strong> facilities.The allocation of this l<strong>and</strong> for development would meet an identified need for permanent pitch provision. However, the site’slocation within the Green Belt would cause a clear <strong>and</strong> significant impact on the openness of the Green Belt <strong>and</strong> encroachmentinto the open countryside. The site is not therefore considered suitable for development for either permanent or transit pitches.
