SIEA2 - Ivyhouse Lane

Site reference: SIEA2
Site name: Ivyhouse Lane

Focus Area/Strategic Policy: Strategic Industrial Employment Area (Strategic Policy 3)

Use: Industrial

Indicative capacity (net residential dwellings/floorspace): 11,464sqm

Site specific development considerations based on draft Local Plan policies:

Development on this site should:

• Allow for boundary landscaping to provide a visual and audio buffer to The Ridge and be enhanced where a development fronts the road
• Demonstrate the conservation and enhancement of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty showing how adverse impacts will be avoided
• Boundary landscaping and other measures to reduce impact on existing residential and caravan and touring provision within this area should be explored
• Preserve existing rights of way and retail wildlife corridors
• Ensure the impact of potential pollution and hazards to site users and its neighbours is properly considered and mitigated
• Contribute to improved transport infrastructure, particularly for pedestrians, cyclists and public transport, including the improvement of non-motorised access to the countryside
• Contribute to transport improvements on The Ridge
• Take into account the Borough boundary and the wider area within Rother District
• 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
• Take account of Southern Water's assessment that shows local sewerage infrastructure in closest proximity has limited capacity to accommodate the proposed development. Proposals for development at this site will generate a need for reinforcement of the wastewater network in order to provide additional capacity to serve the development. This reinforcement will be provided through the New Infrastructure charge to developers, and Southern Water will need to work with site promoters to understand the development program and to review whether the delivery of network reinforcement aligns with the occupation of the development. Connection of new development at this site ahead of new infrastructure delivery could lead to an increased risk of flooding unless the requisite works are implemented in advance of occupation
• Demonstrate the conservation and enhancement of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) by undertaking a Landscape Assessment providing an appraisal of the impact on the AONB and demonstrate how adverse impact will be avoided
