The proposed development would be accessed from the adjoining approved residential scheme to the north and west of the site, which has a road junction onto the northern section of Old Wells Road. The indicative scheme includes the provision of an internal access road to serve the proposal extending from an existing residential development (currently under construction), on-plot parking, an attenuation pond, and a pumping station. The construction and specification are to be dealt with along with all other matters (layout, scale, appearance and landscaping) reserved for the subsequent approval.

PLANNING

Flood Risk

Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.

Rivers and the sea

Very low risk

Planning map: Flood Zone 1.

Surface water

Medium to low risk (1 in 100 to 1 in 1000)
