Option SEA1

This site covers an area of around 21 hectares and could accommodate between 480 and 640 dwellings (based on a density range of 30 to 40 dph). However, given the relatively low density of surrounding development, it is envisaged that a density closer to 30 dph is more likely to be appropriate. In view of the need to have a site that can be certain to accommodate 500 units and provide any necessary infrastructure, other uses and a landscape buffer to screen the development from the surrounding countryside, the site would need to be increased in order to ensure that the site can accommodate the number of dwellings proposed by the Council. Also the exclusion of the land to the east of Oxford Road from the site reduces the options for access to the site.
