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.

0 Proposal does not include a main town centre use.

x The proposal does not include and is not within 400m walking distance of a publicly accessible open space.

? Potential capacity problem requiring mitigation

There is an existing access point on Cotton End Road. The traffic peaks on Cotton End Road and Wilstead are moderate, but 100 additional dwellings directly on Cotton End Road are likely to have an impact. There is a bus stop less than 100m to the East of the site, serving route 9 with infrequent daily service. Cotton End Road has narrow 1m wide footpaths on either side. There is not much room for these to be widened. Additional bus capacity/frequency along Cotton End Road could benefit Wilstead and the surrounding area. Similarly, a rural bike trail could be introduced, perhaps paralel to Cotton End Road, to the South of the site.
