2 SITE REFERENCE:SLAA-9-1-U SIZE (HA): 0.4 SOURCE: EBC Officers ADDRESS: Hedge End Recycling Centre, Shamblehurst Lane South, Hedge PARISH: Hedge End End REASON FOR ASSESSING: Identified in aerial photography as having potential for development SITE DETAILS Site Description & Character of Surrounding Area: The site is within the urban edge in a residential part of Hedge End, it is currently covered by an area of hard standing and comprises a row of recycling containers and associated parking areas for loading and unloading. The existing use of the site raises questions about potential contamination within the site. The site is well screened on all sides with trees which are subject to TPOs on the northern and southern boundaries. The site is previously developed land which is reasonably accessible to a range of local and higher level services and facilities. Ownership: Hampshire County Council Planning History: None Land Uses Investigated: Residential Landowners / Agents Suggested Development Capacity: Unknown Council Officer s Suggested Development Capacity: At a baseline of 35dph this site could yield approximately 14 dwellings. Due to site constraints, it is likely 10 dwellings is more realistic. Site Potential: Density (dph): 25 Existing Dwellings on Site: 0 Timescale: 16+ years Net Residential Yield:

A larger site was originally identified as being suitable for redevelopment but this has subsequently been discounted. Availability: The County Council would be prepared to consider the possibility of redeveloping the existing site for residential development provided that an alternative site of equal or better quality in an equally accessible location could be re-provided as part of any scheme. There are no known legal constraints that would restrict development on the site. Achievability: The existing use of the site raises doubts about the short term deliverability of a residential redevelopment. Redevelopment of this site would be likely to come forward towards the end of the plan period. Assessed as part of a larger broad location for development? No Proposed to be allocated for development in the Eastleigh Borough Local Plan ? Yes. Policy HE3 372

4 SITE REFERENCE: SLAA-9-2-U SIZE (HA): 0.29 SOURCE: Planning history ADDRESS: Shamblehurst Lane South, Hedge End PARISH: Hedge End REASON FOR ASSESSING: Previous planning history suggested possible development potential SITE DETAILS Site Description & Character of Surrounding Area: The site is located on the northern side of Hedge End and currently accommodates four residential properties. To the west of the site is a commercial estate whilst the rest of the area is characterised by residential properties that would appear to have been constructed in the mid twentieth century. There is no strong existing character to the area. Ownership: S D Bhatt, W East, J East, K Selby, M Selby Planning History: Refused planning application for residential redevelopment. Appeal dismissed.

The principle of residential development on this site is therefore already established. Any redevelopment would need to take account of general planning considerations including design, highways and impact on amenities of adjoining occupiers. A sensitively designed scheme is considered to be acceptable on this site which is located in an area which does not have a particularly strong character at present. The site is well related to existed services and facilities. Availability: Whilst the owners of the site have previously sought planning permission and they indicate that they still have an interest in the possible redevelopment of the site, the site is currently unavailable for redevelopment. There are no known legal constraints that would restrict development on the site. Three land owners were contacted to enquire on the availability for potential development; 2 responses were received; both did not support development of this site. Achievability: The site is considered to be attractive to the market although it is acknowledged that the viability of redeveloping this number of dwellings may be questionable in the short term. Taking the above into account, a 6-10 year time period is considered to be reasonable at this time. Assessed as part of a larger broad location for development?

6 SITE REFERENCE: SLAA-9-3-C SIZE (HA): 55.2 SOURCE: Council Planning Officers ADDRESS: Land west of Woodhouse Lane, Hedge End PARISH: Hedge End REASON FOR ASSESSING: Identified formerly as part of SDA area of search SITE DETAILS Site Description & Character of Surrounding Area: The site is a gently-undulating landscape of pasture and arable land, with a number of mature trees and hedgerows forming field boundaries. The site is bounded by a railway line set in cutting on the north-eastern boundary, modern low-medium density residential areas in Hedge End on the western and southern boundaries (generally wellscreened by existing trees and hedgerows). Woodhouse Lane on the south-eastern boundary is a busy rural access road containing a mix of employment and residential buildings and a garden centre, interspersed by countryside. The site contains a stream forming a tributary of the River Hamble, the corridor for which contains a significant tree belt which is a protected wildlife site (SINC), ancient woodland and area of flood risk. Ownership: Hampshire County Council Planning History: Formerly part of the SDA area of search. It is currently forms part of the gap separating Botley and Hedge End, identified in the 2006 Local Plan Review. Land Uses Investigated: Residential, employment, and community uses. Landowners / Agents Suggested Development Capacity: Anticipated that 38 hectares gross of the 53 hectare site is suitable for development. This land could be made available to deliver up to around 900 homes, a new primary school and other local facilities (based on developing 38ha of the site this would amount to 23 dwellings per hectare) Council Officer s Suggested Development Capacity: Residential: Excluding the area of strategic gap to the eastern corner, a site area of 51.1ha, at 35dph, could yield approximately 1788 dwellings. Due to site constraints and the provision of community facilities and open space, approximately 800 homes are considered more realistic (16dph). Employment: 30% site coverage: 165,600m², 35% site coverage: 193.,200m², 40% coverage: 220,800m² Site Potential: See officer comments above Density (dph): Existing Dwellings on Site: Timescale: Net Residential Yield: 375

7 ACCESSIBILITY Access to the Site: Potential direct vehicular access from Woodhouse Lane, which may require some upgrading and offers potential to create the first phase of any future Botley bypass. Rights of Way Footpath adjacent to north west of site. Bridleway within site boundary Proximity to Local Services (All distances are approximate): 1km 3km Bus Stop: services in Hedge End Railway Station: Hedge End station Health Centre: Hedge End surgery Primary School: Berrywood Primary School on western boundary Secondary School: Wildern School Shopping Centre / Hypermarket: Hedge End district centre, Sainsbury s and Marks and Spencer Superstores off Charles Watts Way Designated Open Space: Adjacent site (to the south) CONSTRAINTS Air Quality Management Area Agricultural Land Classification Grade 3.

Ground highest on northern boundary Priority Habitat Coastal and Floodplain Biodiversity Action Grazing Marsh, Plan Priority Areas Lowland Mixed and Links Deciduous Woodland, Wet Woodland DELIVERABILITY / DEVELOPABILITY (SINC on site) Railway, Wildern Suitability: This large site adjoins the settlement of Hedge End and currently forms part of the gap separating Hedge End, Botley and Boorley Green. It is of sufficient size to be physically capable of accommodating a medium density urban extension which could support a local centre, bus route, and a new or expanded primary school. Nonetheless, the stream corridor restricts the potential access to the site, and divides the site into two distinct areas. This may create problems integrating any potential development with the existing settlement. The western part of the site is particularly well contained by mature hedgerows and trees; however the northern edges of the site are prominent because of the topography. The development potential on this site could be considered further as part of a broad location. Availability: The site is mostly in public ownership (Hampshire County Council). There is currently some uncertainty about the County Council s position in relation to development on this site. Achievability:. Potential for a significant residential development with supporting facilities, including some local employment. The site is greenfield and would appear to have limited abnormal costs. Assessed as part of a larger broad location for development? Yes (north and east of Hedge End) Proposed to be allocated for development in the Eastleigh Borough Local Plan ? Yes (see policy HE1) 376

8 SITE REFERENCE: SLAA-9-4-C SIZE (HA): 3.39 SOURCE: Pro Vision Planning ADDRESS: Land at Botleigh Grange Hotel, off Grange Road, Hedge End PARISH: Hedge End REASON FOR ASSESSING: Submitted for consideration and adjoins urban edge of Hedge End SITE DETAILS Site Description & Character of Surrounding Area: This site occupies an area to the front of the Botleigh Grange Hotel, and lies within the north east of Hedge End, just north of Grange Road. The site is undeveloped and used for grazing, and is a designated historic park. There is a strong boundary to the east and west created by blocks of woodland. The site area is a revision on what was originally submitted for consideration. Ownership: Mr. D. Plumpton Planning History: Application (ref: Z19330/000/00) for 30 dwellings on the land fronting Grange Road refused Application for residential development refused 1981, and appeal dismissed Various applications under references and for the expansion and alterations of the hotel and office development within its curtilage. Ref: Z/29710/003/00 included a Section 52 agreement requiring that this site was retained as undeveloped Hotel Parkland Land Uses Investigated: The agent suggests that the site is considered primarily for residential development, possibly with a commercial element. Landowners / Agents Suggested Development Capacity: dwellings with a possible commercial component Council Officer s Suggested Development Capacity: Residential: Based on an area of 3.39ha, a baseline of 35dph could yield approximately 119 dwellings. Due to a blanket tree preservation order across all tree species on site, detailed work would be required to determine the number of dwellings which could be developed on this site. Employment: Floorspace at coverage of 30% = 10170m², at 35% = 11865m², and at 40% = 13560m² Site Potential: See officer comments above Density (dph): Existing Dwellings on Site: Timescale: Net Residential Yield: 377

10 SITE REFERENCE: SLAA-9-5-C SIZE (HA): 0.8 SOURCE: Council Planning Officers ADDRESS: Land south of Foord Road and west of Dodwell Lane, Hedge PARISH: Hedge End End (1) REASON FOR ASSESSING: Identified on aerial photography as possibly having development potential SITE DETAILS Site Description & Character of Surrounding Area: This site occupies an area to the south of Hedge End. The site is open and well screened by trees on the southern boundary. The site is adjoined by residential development to the north and east, and undeveloped countryside to the south and west. It currently forms part of the gap separating Hedge End from Southampton. The site is currently used for grazing. Ownership: Mark and Stephanie Barrett, Brian and Patricia Paling Planning History: Outline planning application refused 13 July 1988 for a residential development (ref: 30302) on the basis that it would erode the strategic gap, the site is outside of the urban edge, and development would have a detrimental impact on the landscape character of the area. The site was considered in the Council s 2004 Greenfield Housing Site Assessment (ref: HE4/5), whereby it was concluded that any development would be limited by maintaining the existing mature trees and buffer to the M27 to pockets of cul-de-sac development resulting in a poor urban form. Land Uses Investigated: Residential, open space, community, new road Landowners / Agents Suggested Development Capacity: n/a Council Officer s Suggested Development Capacity: At a baseline of 35dph the site could yield approximately 28 dwellings. Site Potential: See officer comments above Density (dph): Existing Dwellings on Site: Timescale: Net Residential Yield: 379

11 ACCESSIBILITY Access to the Site: Pedestrian access via gate from Greenfield Close. Providing vehicular access to the site from this location would be constrained by the close proximity between the houses on Greenfield Close. Potential access from Waylands Place is also heavily constrained by the width of the road and lack of opportunity for road widening due to the close proximity of dwellings on Waylands Place. Rights of Way 700m to nearest footpath. 950m to nearest bridleway Proximity to Local Services (All distances are approximate): 1km 3km Bus Stop: Heathhouse Lane.

The ground levels are below existing development and relatively well screened from surrounding areas. Without developing adjoining land to the west, securing vehicular access to the site would appear to be a major issue. The residential amenities of adjoining residential occupiers would also need to be carefully considered. Consideration of the site as part of a wider development could help to overcome these constraints. Availability: Not known. Achievability: The site is greenfield and is not considered to be likely to have any significant abnormal costs. Property prices in this part of Hedge End have generally been relatively robust in terms of the residential market. Assessed as part of a larger broad location for development?

12 SITE REFERENCE: SLAA-9-6-C SIZE (HA): 2 SOURCE: Council Planning Officers ADDRESS: Land West of Dodwell Lane & East of M27, Hedge End PARISH: Hedge End REASON FOR ASSESSING: Identified on aerial photography as possibly having development potential SITE DETAILS Site Description & Character of Surrounding Area: This site occupies an area to the south west of Hedge End, west of Dodwell Lane. There is a strong boundary to the west created by a block of woodland. It is well screened by trees on the boundaries, and there is some sporadic tree cover across the site. There is residential development to the east of the site, and undeveloped countryside to the north, south and west. It is within the gap separating Hedge End from Bursledon. The site is currently unused but there is some evidence of tipping. Ownership: Mr Peter Sheridan, Mary Renshaw, Theresa Sheridan, Hilary Steffczuk, Jenny Morley Planning History: Outline planning application refused 13 July 1988 for a residential development (ref: 30302) on the basis that it would erode the strategic gap, the site is outside of the urban edge, and development would have a detrimental impact on the landscape character of the area.

Land Uses Investigated: Residential, open space and new road Landowners / Agents Suggested Development Capacity: n/a Council Officer s Suggested Development Capacity: At a baseline of 35dph this site would yield 70 dwellings. However, due to significant constraints on this site it is not considered likely that this site would be suitable in its own right (see comments below). Site Potential: See officer comments above Density (dph): Existing Dwellings on Site: Timescale: Net Residential Yield: 381

13 ACCESSIBILITY Access to the Site: Waylands Place (narrow minor road). Improvements to the access Waylands Place are constrained due to the close proximity of dwellings (on Waylands Place).

There is a significant change of ground levels within the site which limits its potential. Taking the above into account and the noise from the M27, the opportunities to develop this site are limited. Securing suitable highway access to the site is also problematic and the potential contaminated land issues also need to be taken into account. Ground conditions on parts of the site are not ideal. Consideration of this site as part of a wider area of development could overcome some of these constraints for this site or facilitate wider development. Availability: The site owners have indicated that the site is available Achievability: There are a number of constraints on achieving development on this site, not least of which is securing suitable vehicular access. If considered as part of a wider scheme, it is possible some of the constraints could be overcome. Assessed as part of a larger broad location for development?

On the other hand, the site is located in close proximity to Junction 8 of the M27 and if considered with adjoining sites, there may be some potential for the site to be used for employment uses provided these were compatible with adjacent residential development. It is however disconnected from the other sites and there is therefore uncertainty about the development potential of this site. Availability: The intentions of the current landowners have yet to be ascertained. Achievability: The site is greenfield but has some constraints which could be costly to overcome. The site may well be attractive to the commercial sector in terms of its potential contribution to the local economy and it s proximity to the strategic road network.

Most of the site is also a SINC and a proposed local nature reserve. On the other hand the south western part of the site, which is not part of the SINC, is covered by a significant amount of hard standing associated with a previous building which was on the site. It is also well screened and close to Junction 8 of the M27. As such, this site, although small, may have some potential for some small scale employment uses or similar. Availability: The intentions of the current landowners have yet to be ascertained. Achievability: The south-western corner of the site is previous developed land, with potential contaminated land issues to address. This part of the site is located some distance from the M27 but the impact on the SINC will need to be taken into account in terms of potential costs involved. Whether the site is likely to be attractive to the commercial sector will need to be tested further. Assessed as part of a larger broad location for development?

The land is divided by field boundaries. There is a strong boundary to the south and east created by a block of woodland. There is mature planting and tree cover on the western boundary which fronts onto St. Johns Road. It is within the presently defined strategic gap separating Hedge End from Southampton, and is used as grazing land. The site forms part of the buffer between Hedge End and the M27. Ownership: Highways Agency, Mark and Sarah Lipscombe, Alfred Candy, Robert Candy, Helen Jones and Joan Owen Planning History: The site formed part of a wider site (HE4/5) considered in the Working Assessment of Greenfield Housing Sites in March The assessment concluded that the urban edge of Hedge End was well defined here and the very limited opportunities for housing development on the site would not justify this breach or the erosion of the buffer separating Hedge End from the M27. Outline application (ref: 30302) permitted July 1988 for residential development. Land Uses Investigated: Residential, open space and community facilities. Landowners / Agents Suggested Development Capacity: n/a Council Officer s Suggested Development Capacity: At a baseline of 35dph this site could yield approximately 32 dwellings. However, noise from the M27 is a particular constraint for this site and so this figure is considered unlikely. For use as open this, this site could support a wider area of development (see comments below).

The motorway also generates significant noise and disturbance in this location. On the other hand, the site adjoins land to the north and east which may be more suitable for development. As part of a larger area, this site may be capable of being developed in part including providing open space. Availability: Not known Achievability: If developed predominantly for open space in association with development of the adjoining sites, then subject to noise mitigation measures, there are not considered to be any other abnormal costs which would hinder the achievability of bringing this site forward.

Peagram ADDRESS: Land south of Foord Rd & west of Dodwell Lane (2), Hedge End PARISH: Hedge End REASON FOR ASSESSING: Submitted for consideration SITE DETAILS Site Description & Character of Surrounding Area: This site occupies an area to the south of Hedge End, south east of St. Johns Road. There is a strong boundary to the south and south west created by a block of woodland. It is within the gap separating Hedge End from Southampton, and is used as grazing land. The site forms part of the buffer between Hedge End and the M27. Residential development lies to the north of the site. The existing urban edge at this location is generally well-defined. Ownership: Michael J. Peagram Planning History: The site was considered in the Council s 2004 Greenfield Housing Site Assessment (ref: HE4/5), whereby it was concluded that any development would be limited by maintaining the existing mature trees and buffer to the M27 to pockets of cul-de-sac development resulting in a poor urban form. Land Uses Investigated: The agent has suggested that residential and open space uses are considered Landowners / Agents Suggested Development Capacity: 50 dwellings on 1.7ha of land Council Officer s Suggested Development Capacity: If whole of the site were to be developed, at 35dph, the site could yield approximately 116 dwellings, Due to site constraints, in to create access to the site, the figure is likely to be significantly lower.

The ground levels are below existing development and relatively well screened from surrounding areas. The changes in ground levels within and adjoining the site are a constraint to its development, as may be the ground conditions. Vehicular access is not straightforward but may be achievable from St Johns Road. Availability: The agent anticipates the site will become available within the next 5 years. Achievability: The site is greenfield and is not considered to be likely to have any significant abnormal costs.

It also serves to form part of the eastern urban edge of Hedge End. Given the disconnection of this site to other residential areas, it would be difficult to envisage an intensification of residential development on this site. However, the site is well related to the Botleigh Grange office campus, with further employment uses to the south along Woodhouse Lane. As such an employment redevelopment of this site may be suitable. The site is well contained by trees on its northern boundary. The impact on the local highway network and the nature conservation designations to the north would require consideration. Availability: Unknown Achievability: The site currently accommodates three dwellings but is otherwise undeveloped. There is otherwise unlikely to be any abnormal costs associated with the redevelopment of the site. Assessed as part of a larger broad location for development?

The area does not form a gap function separating settlements, and there is already a scatter of houses and related buildings around the area. The loss of this open space would represent a significant issue and it would need to be re-provided elsewhere. Any development of this site is likely to be problematic in terms of dealing with these issues. Availability: Not known Achievability: The cost of overcoming the constraints could hinder the achievability of the site, however if these could be addressed, development could be achievable.

Development within the site is likely to have limited landscape impact provided it could be designed and laid out to avoid the tree preservation orders within the site. There is existing hard standing within the site which could be utilised if required. The site has good access to the strategic road network. Taking this into account, the site is considered to be potentially suitable for industrial uses and/or as a travelling showman s site. The relationship to the existing residential properties will need to be carefully considered. There may be opportunities to enhance and take advantage of the existing planting within the site. Availability: The site is currently occupied. However the current owners have expressed an interest in exploring options for future development of the site. Achievability: The site is well related to the strategic road network and occupies a potentially attractive environment. The site is likely to be attractive to the market and could come forward within the next 5-10 years. Assessed as part of a larger broad location for development?
