  • HL3 - Land adjacent to 777 The Ridge

    Site reference: HL3
    Site name: Land adjacent to 777 The Ridge 

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

    Use: Residential

    Indicative capacity (net residential dwellings/floorspace): 98

    Site specific development considerations based on draft Local Plan policies:

    Development on this site should:

    • Provide 40% affordable housing in line with policy SP2
    • Be sensitive in design of the site setting particularly in regard to the scale and form of development. This includes taking account of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) that lies on the opposite side of The Ridge and the long views to the north into and out of it so as to minimise the visual impact of development on the AONB. Measures to conserve and enhance the AONB should be included
    • Include a Historic Environment Record (HER) informed desk based assessment of potential interest within an archaeological notification area and agree to a ‘watching brief’ during any development works (as advised by East Sussex County Council)
    • Demonstrate consideration of the transport impact along The Ridge and include improved access from Harrow Lane.  Proposals should also include an assessment of site suitability for alternative mobility solutions, such as car clubs, and show how they have been incorporated into the development. This should be considered in collaboration with adjacent schemes at Holmhurst St Mary (HL1) and Harrow Lane playing fields (HL2)
    • Consider improvements to walking and cycling connectivity and permeability in conjunction with the adjacent sites and preserve and enhance the public right of way around the site
    • Contribute to the green infrastructure network including improved connections between the open and green spaces to support their ecological and recreational value. This should include the provision of new publicly accessible green space within the site and the reinforcement of the pedestrian route to the bridleway. Boundary landscaping should also be included to act as a buffer to surrounding development
