The human version (we wrote this, not the council)
This section sets out the site allocations for Sarratt. One housing site is allocated: Adams Nurseries on Church Lane, with an indicative capacity of 15 homes. The site is classed as grey belt and remains in the Green Belt, and development should be limited to the brownfield part of the site, with amenity space and biodiversity net gain on the greenfield areas. The site table also covers access constraints and other requirements for future proposals.

Green Belt / Grey Belt:
The site is considered to be grey belt. Given its location adjoining a washed over Green Belt village,
predominantly brownfield nature and grey belt categorisation, the site has been retained in the Green Belt
Main Development Requirements:
• Indicative dwelling capacity of 15
• Development should be limited to the brownfield area of the site, with amenity space and BNG
located within the greenfield areas
Site Constraints and Other Requirements and Considerations:
Access, Highways and Sustainable Transport
• The access is an existing single-width road adjacent to residential properties and gardens branched
off from Church Lane. Improvements to this access road will likely be necessary including the
provision of overtaking spaces
• There is a public right of way running along eastern boundary of the site which must be taken
account of during the design process
Historic Environment
• Sarratt (The Green) Conservation Area is situated adjacent to the site’s eastern boundary. Given
the proximity to the conservation area, a Heritage Impact Assessment/ Heritage Assessment would
be required at the planning application (and preferably pre-application) stage
Flooding
• The centre of the site is at risk of surface water flooding, ranging from low -medium risk. Suitable
mitigation to address surface water flood risk would be required
Mineral and Waste
• A Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP) will be r
