  • HL40 - Former Mount Pleasant Hospital, Frederick Road

    Site reference: HL40
    Site name: Former Mount Pleasant Hospital, Frederick Road

    Focus Area/Strategic Policy: n/a

    Use: Residential

    Indicative capacity (net residential dwellings/floorspace): 56

    Site specific development considerations based on draft Local Plan policies:

    Development on this site should:

    • Provide 25% affordable housing in line with policy SP2
    • Make best us of the existing road entrance and the design of development along the spine road that runs north-east to south-west along the centre of the site.  The position of the spine road together with the narrowness of the site suggests that housing development is likely to take the form of frontage development on either side of the road.  There may also be alternative approaches that might be acceptable, including more depth of development in the south-eastern part of the site
    • Safeguard land to enable the implementation of the strategic network of cycle routes and contribute to its creation and management as appropriate
    • Protect the large drainage storage tank to the west of the turning head as part of future development
    • Provide a connection to the sewerage system at the nearest point of adequate capacity and/or make improvements to the infrastructure if necessary, as advised by Southern Water
    • 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
    • Include an updated Management Plan for the identified Ecology Zone, including measures for the management and ongoing maintenance of that area
