HL12 - Former Malmesbury House, West Hill Road

Site reference: HL12
Site name: Former Malmesbury House, West Hill Road

Focus Area/Strategic Policy: Focus Area 4: West Marina and West St Leonards

Use: Residential

Indicative capacity (net residential dwellings/floorspace): 117

Site specific development considerations based on draft Local Plan policies:

Development on this site should:

• Provide 25% affordable housing in line with policy SP2
• Consider that the site occupies an elevated prominent location at the western end of the conservation area and is visible from a distance, particularly from the direction of the seafront. Any development must therefore respect longer distance views of the site as well as its immediate surroundings, enhancing the significance and setting of the Grosvenor Gardens Conservation Area
• Investigate the impact of land stability and incorporate mitigation measures as appropriate
• Avoid or mitigate against any adverse impacts on Caves Road Cliffs Local Wildlife Site
• Provide a connection to the sewerage system at the nearest point of adequate capacity, as advised by Southern Water and ensure future access to the existing sewerage and water supply infrastructure for maintenance and upsizing purposes
• 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 these should be clear of all proposed buildings and tree planting
