OXHEY HALL H45 – Vivian Gardens H45 – Vivian Gardens SHELAA Reference: PCS16 Size: 0.33ha Proposed use(s): Residential Indicative Dwelling Capacity: 8 Phasing: 0-5 years Greenfield/Brownfield: Brownfield Green Belt / Grey Belt N/A (Not in Green Belt) Main Development Requirements: • Indicative dwelling capacity of 8 Site Constraints and Other Requirements and Considerations: Access, Highways and Sustainable Transport • Access to the site is currently via the driveway of No.44 Vivian Gardens. Improvement works to the access would be required as part of any development proposal, which may also involve works to the driveway to No.46 Vivian Gardens to accommodate the scale of development Flooding • The Site falls within the Groundwater Source Protection Zone 1 (GPSZ1) which may limit the use of SuDS, deep foundations and below ground development. A preliminary risk assessment is required during a planning application (and preferably pre-application) to determine whether there is contamination of the site, and whether remediation works would be needed Historic Environment • The site lies immediately to the south of the Oxhey Hall Conservation Area. A Heritage Impact Assessment/Heritage Statement may be required if any proposals are considered to have a potential impact on the setting of the conservation area Green Infrastructure, Biodiversity and TPOs • There are protected trees in the northwest and southwest of the site, as well as close to the southern boundary, just outside of the site (TPO677). Future development will need to take account of the TPOs and an Arboricultural Impact Assessment will be required at the planning application (and preferably pre-application) stage H46 – Land at Hampermill Lane H46 – Land at Hampermill Lane SHELAA Reference: ACFS13b Size: 2.8ha Proposed use(s): Residential Indicative Dwelling Capacity: 100 Phasing: 0 – 10 years Greenfield/Brownfield: Greenfield 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 100 • Provision of open space / play space is required Site Constraints and Other Requirements and Considerations: Access, Highways and Sustainable Transport • The existing access to the site is a rural style gate within the northwest of the site. In order to facilitate the scale of development proposed, improvement works would be required or a new access created along Hampermill Lane Historic Environment • Two groups of Grade II Listed Buildings are located to the northeast and west of the site respectively, but a relatively significant distance away, as is the Oxhey Hall Conservation Area to the west. As such, a proposal may need to provide a Heritage Impact Assessment/ heritage Statement if it was considered that the development may have an impact on the setting of the nearby heritage assets Flooding • To the east of the site there is a large surface water flowpath ranging from low to high risk of surface water flooding. Any proposals would need to provide suitable mitigation to address surface water flood risk on areas of the site • The site falls within Groundwater Source Protection Zone (GSPZ) 1 which may limit the use of SuDS, deep foundations and below ground development. A preliminary risk assessment is required at the planning application (an
