THE BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENTS

  • The residential proposal will provide 350 dwellings including affordable homes, and a good level of useable public open space. This will make an important contribution to the identified shortfall in housing supply across the district.
  • The proposal will retain and enhance the existing vegetation where achievable. The proposal will also provide contributions to local services and facilities to mitigate its impact, such as, a new primary school which will be built on another development east of Billbrook.
  • The proposed development will be supported by a comprehensive landscape scheme which will deliver new tree planting and the provision of public open space. The proposal seeks to retain and enhance the natural landscape buffers through additional planting and support a biodiversity net gain.
