The site is especially unique because of its natural landscape buffer that surrounds the site on all sides. Buffer required to protect the ancient woodland. Proposals could explore integrating a use within the site that benefits from the natural landscape buffer the site affords, such as a community activity centre or forest school. Establish a network of connected streets which prioritise walking and cycling over private car use for short trips within the development. Create safe, attractive and clear cycling and pedestrian routes which minimise distances between the site and local shops, services and Knockholt station. Proposals should especially consider improvements to the roundabout to the southwest of the site that accommodates footpaths and crossings for pedestrians and cyclists. Any opportunity to deliver a new pedestrian connection through to Highland Road or Charles Road to overcome the isolation of this site would be welcome. Use the natural features of the site to inform development and integrate it into its wider setting. The topography, geology, trees and ancient woodland can be used to reinforce local distinctiveness. | 2019-12-18 | |

Surrounded by ancient woodland therefore a buffer would need to be included within the design and layout. | 2018-12-01 | |

The existing access onto Shacklands Road could be utilised. The site lies within the AONB however redevelopment of the site could contribute towards improving the character of the area. The presence of ancient woodland would require protection and a buffer between the woodland and any future development. Overall the site is considered able to accommodate development, subject to the reprovision of the employment floorspace, however it is located within the Green Belt so this designation would need to change in order for it to be developed. | 2017-12-01 |
