  • Consultation Draft New Local Plan 2019 - 2039 Site Allocations
  • HL1
  • HL1

    Site reference: HL1
    Site name: Holmhurst St Mary

    Focus Area/Strategic Policy: Focus Area 3: Little Ridge and Ashdown House

    Use: Residential

    Indicative capacity (net residential dwellings/floorspace): 258

    Site specific development considerations based on draft Local Plan policies:

    Development on this site should:

    • Provide 40% affordable housing in line with policy SP2 
    • Demonstrate the transport impact on The Ridge and provide for bus access through the site and adjacent HL2 to relieve congestion on The Ridge subject to Transport Assessment
    • Take account of Southern Water's underground infrastructure in the design of the layout of the site. Easements would be required, which may affect the site layout or require diversion and should be clear of all proposed buildings and tree planting
    • Provide new publicly accessible open space
    • Some of the area to the  eastern boundary is categorised as flood zone 2, and should be incorporated into open space
    • Consider the impact of proposals on the AONB, incorporating any recommendations arising from a Landscape Assessment
    • Preserve and restore the Grade II listed statue of Queen Anne, and  adjacent nun’s cemetery and the significance of Grade II listed Holmhurst St Mary School
    • Minimise the impact on the Holmhurst St Mary Local Wildlife Site and ancient woodland within the site and incorporate appropriate conservation and mitigation measures
