  • HL39 - Ore Valley (Former Power Station)

    Site reference: HL39
    Site name: Ore Valley (Former Power Station)

    Focus Area/Strategic Policy: n/a

    Use: Residential

    Indicative capacity (net residential dwellings/floorspace): 75

    Site specific development considerations based on draft Local Plan policies:

    Development on this site should:

    • Provide 25% affordable housing in line with policy SP2
    • Reserve six plots for association self-build and/or custom housebuilding
    • In all cases retain the woodland area to the north of the site corresponding to approximately 0.85ha (capacity has been calculated net of this site area)
    • Provide some physical breaks in frontage, with a landscaped area, possibly with a through-route for servicing and emergency access only. Achieving this requires, at least in part, some different housing typologies such as maisonette and/or flatted units to allow more generous plot widths and support four or even five-storey development, corresponding to the scale of development at Priory Road on the opposite hillside, whilst better integrating its sloped woodland setting
    • Provide an assessment of potential contamination and any mitigation measures required
    • Include pedestrian/cycle links to nearby open spaces, amenities, bus routes and Ore Station
    • Consider that this site has a high groundwater table and drainage design should be informed by onsite monitoring
    • Protect and safeguard the adjacent Broomgrove Local Wildlife Site to the south and avoid or mitigate against any adverse impacts
