x The proposal has the potential to cause harm to heritage assets. This harm may range from low to high. There may be options to avoid, reduce or mitigate this harm and where sites have not been ruled out altogether for other reasons, further assessment will be undertaken to more fully explore impacts on significance and options for harm reduction and mitigation. This further assessment may ultimately lead to the conclusion that the site should not be allocated.

? Potential access requiring mitigation

? Potential capacity problem requiring mitigation

Several potential access points have been proposed for this site as part of a vehicular access report submitted by the applicant. This specific proposal envisages up to 15 dwellings served by the existing narrow access at 174 High St. However as a private drive, this is not likely to be sufficient for this scale of development, and the other potential access points (Red Lion Pub, Pilgrims Way, Dahl Close) should be investigated instead. Visibility splays are also limited and fire engines and refuse vehicles would not be able to access the site via this location. 2 buses per hour. High St is relatively congested. Footway approx 1 m in width. Investigate alternative vehicular access points prior to submitting application, as proposed access at 174 High St is not considered acceptable. Access point at 174 High St could provide pedestrian access and footways should be improved where this joins the High St.

Nothing chosen

No noise concerns unless noise sensitive premises closer to PH than proposed.

Site does not fall within the boundary of a MSA.

The site is designated as urban open space and development of it would compromise the reason for designation which is Criterion 10 – the site provides a wildlife corridor and links in with open space to the north and south of the site to form a continuous green corridor from Mile Road through to Romsey Way. Development in this space would compromise the GI network. In addition the proposed access is unsuitable for this scale of development due to below standard visibility splays. The site is not proposed for allocation.
