CARPENDERS PARK H15 – Land at Oxhey Lane H15 – Land at Oxhey Lane SHELAA Reference: CFS13 Size: 2.8ha Proposed use(s): Residential Indicative Dwelling Capacity: 98 Phasing: 0 - 10 years Greenfield/Brownfield: Greenfield Green Belt / Grey Belt: The site is considered to be grey belt. During the Local Plan process the Green Belt boundaries were altered, and the site was entirely removed from the Green Belt Main Development Requirements: • Indicative dwelling capacity of 98 • Provision of open space/play space is required Site Constraints and Other Requirements and Considerations: Access, Highways and Sustainable Transport • Access is required to be from Oxhey Lane Historic Environment • A Grade II Listed Building situated to the western side of Oxhey Lane directly opposite the Site. The council’s high-level Heritage Impact Assessment states that the site’s development would have a minor adverse impact on the historic environment, as the setting of the Listed Building would have historically been in an agricultural landscape. A Heritage Impact Assessment/Heritage Statement would be required at the planning application (and preferably pre-application) stage to identify the impacts o n the heritage assets and appropriate mitigation measures • HCC Historic Environment advised that the site includes/has potential to include heritage assets of archaeological interest. Any development proposals on the site should be accompanied by a pre-application or pre-determination archaeological assessment Flooding • Whilst t here is low risk of surface water flooding along the southern boundary of the site , proposals would need to provide suitable mitigation to address any potential surface water flood risk Green Infrastructure, Biodiversity and TPOs • There are protected trees at the southwestern tip of the Site (TPO181). Future developments will need to take account on the TPO in the site Landscape • The council’s Landscape Sensitivity Assessment classifies the site as having a medium -low sensitivity to built development Minerals and Waste • A Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP) will be required to support any proposal at the planning application stage Utilities and Infrastructure • A medium pressure gas pipeline runs along the northern and eastern boundaries of the Site. An appropriate buffer distance is likely to be required from the pipeline to any development. Cadent Gas must be consulted as part of any application H16 – Land North of Oxhey Lane H16 – Land North of Oxhey Lane SHELAA Reference: CFS14 Size: 3.4ha Proposed use(s): Residential Indicative Dwelling Capacity: 96 Phasing: 0 - 10 years Greenfield/Brownfield: Mixed (mainly greenfield) Green Belt / Grey Belt: The site is considered to be grey belt. During the Local Plan process the Green Belt boundaries were altered, and the site was entirely removed from the Green Belt Main Development Requirements • Indicative dwelling capacity of 96 • Provision of open space/play space is required • Provision of community space Site Constraints and Other Requirements and Considerations: Access, Highways and Sustainable Transport • Access is required to be from Oxhey Lane Social and Community • Provision of community space is required. Historic Environment • Listed Buildings associated to Oxhey Grange are located on the western side of A4008. The council’s high-level Heritage Impact Assessment states that the site’s development would have a minor adverse impact on the historic environment and the setting of the Listed Building. Any scheme will have to consider the impact on the setting of Oxhey Hall and building heights may need to be limited to ensure that the setting is not harmed. At the planning application stage (and preferably pre-application stage), a Heritage Impact Assessment/ Heritage Statement would be required to identify the impacts on the listed buildings and their setting, as well as to recommend appropriate mitigation measures • HCC Historic Environment advised that the site includes/has potential to include heritage assets of archaeological interest. Any development proposals on the site should be accompanied by a pre-application or pre-determination archaeological assessment Flooding • There are small, scattered areas at high-low risk of surface water flooding located to the north. A strip of land at high risk of surface water flooding is present along the south eastern boundary. Mitigation measures will be necessary to prevent surface water flooding Green Infrastructure, Biodiversity and TPOs • There are protected trees to the east and south of the site (TPO181) and a large coverage of trees throughout the site . Future development will need to take account o f the TPOs and other trees within the site . An Arboricultural Impact Assessment will be required at the planning application stage (and preferably pre-application stage) Minerals and Waste • A Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP) will be required to support any proposal at the planning application stage Environmental Health and Pollution • HCC Minerals & Waste have identified that the site coincides with a historic landfill site and is adjacent to another landfill site. Detailed investigation and consultations are required to determine the extent of possible contamination and measures required to mitigate and remediate contamination Utilities and Infrastructure • A medium pressure gas pipeline runs through the north of the site. An appropriate buffer distance is likely to be required from the pipeline to any development. Cadent Gas must be consulted as part of any application H17 – Grange Wood H17 – Grange Wood, Oxhey Lane, WD19 5RA SHELAA Reference: NCFS11 Size: 1.4ha Proposed use(s): Residential Indicative Dwelling Capacity: 50 Phasing: 0 – 5 years Greenfield/Brownfield: Brownfield Green Belt / Grey Belt: The site was located within the Green Belt. During the Local Plan process the Green Belt boundaries were altered, and the site was entirely removed from the Green Belt Main Development Requirements: • Indicative dwelling capacity of 50 • Provision of open space/play space is required Site Constraints and Other Requirements and Considerations: Access, Highways and Sustainable Transport • The existing access is via Oxhey Lane, which should be utilised, although improvement works will be required to facilitate the scale of development proposed Historic Environment • There are two Grade II Listed Buildings to the south of the site and the Watford Heath Conservation Area (located outside of Three Rivers) adjoins the north of the site. The council’s high-level Heritage Impact Assessment states that the site’s development would have a minor adverse impact on the historic environment • A Heritage Impact Assessment/Heritage Statement would be required at the planning application (and ideally pre-application) stage to identify the impacts on the heritage assets and appropriate mitigation measures including planting of vegetation and the density and siting of development Flooding • There is low to high surface water flood risk on Pinner Road/Oxhey Lane and this could impact access and egress of the site. As advised by the LLFA, an access and egress assessment is recommended to be submitted at a planning application (including possible mitigation measures). Suitable mitigation to address the risk of surface water flooding would be required for any development at the site Green Infrastructures and Biodiversity • Sherwood Park, an Ancient Woodland, is situated to the east of the Site. It is a mixed deciduous woodland and light spill on adjacent trees / woody habitats should be avoided. Additionally, there should be a buffer zone between development and the Ancient Woodland There is a local wildlife site adjacent to the west of the site. HCC Ecology stated that a Preliminary Ecological Appraisal and/or Preliminary Roost Assessment may be required to determine ecological interest and impacts of any development at the planning application (and preferably pre-application) stage Mineral and Waste • HCC Minerals and Waste s
