The revised plans for SN5039 provide a more accessible and appropriately positioned alternative to VC ROC2.
• SN5039 neatly forms a natural, complementary extension, to the east and south respectively, of existing development on School Lane and The Street. This means the site has less impact on open countryside than VC ROC2, which would also introduce an additional third clustered area to the village, spoiling its historical linear characteristic.
• SN5039 will have road frontage of 46 metres to provide excellent access and visibility.
• SN5039 will provide direct pedestrian access from the site onto School Lane.
SN5039 was identified as a reasonable alternative for allocation, subject to achieving satisfactory access with sufficient visibility.
These comments have been noted and the original proposal has been amended to address the issues highlighted regarding scale, access and visibility, so it can be revaluated and allocated as an alternative preferred site to VC ROC2 (SN2064REV).
