There is a mains sewer which dissects the middle of the site running from south to north. A plan showing this can be provided upon request. Planning The Former Flamingo Park currently holds a Sui Generis use consent. Glencoe Lodge and Lamorna currently hold C3 Residential consent. The site is not located within a conservation area nor are the residential properties listed. There is however a Grade II Listed property adjacent to the site on Oakhill Road, namely Oak Hill House. There is a small area at risk of flooding (Flood Risk 2) along the eastern boundary of the site associated with watercourses in this location. There are no other areas of flood risk across the site. There are Tree Preservation Order s (TPO s) across the site which are situated along the western boundary adjacent to the road and along the southern boundary adjacent to the neighbouring land. The site is located within the Solent Protection Area Buffer Zone, which is a designation to protect migratory birds. The Council have produced a Solent Recreation Mitigation Strategy Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) document which provides a developer contribution scale. The contribution range from 337 for a 1 bedroom dwelling to 880 for a 5+ bedroom dwelling. Policy SP1 of the Core Strategy sets out the spatial hierarchy of the Island and divides areas in to the following; Key Regeneration Areas, Smaller Regeneration Areas, Rural Service Centres and the Wider Rural Area. The site falls outside of a defined settlement boundary within the wider rural area and therefore in planning policy terms falls within the countryside. A pre-application was submitted in March 2018 for the development of nine detached residential dwellings in the south-west parcel of the site. A detailed response was provided in May 2018 which highlighted that the proposal would redevelop a redundant tourist attraction and therefore can be considered previously developed land or brownfield site. This is relevant because the Council have noted that the re-use of redundant/disused buildings is supported by the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), subject to satisfying the special criteria and a proposal leading to an enhancement of the surrounding area. The pre-application response concluded that the proposal would be acceptable subject to an assessment against other relevant policies of the Core Strategy. Policy SP1 of the Core Strategy seeks to prioritise the redevelopment of previously developed land where such land is available, suitable and viable. Policy SP2 of the Core Strategy confirms that 980 dwellings will be delivered at locations within the Rural Service Centres and Wider Rural Area over the period of 2011 to It is therefore considered that the principle of residential development has been established, although it must be noted that a pre-application does not provide any guarantees about the decision that will be made on an application. Since the pre-application advice has been issued a revised NPPF has been published. The NPPF now states that planning policies and decisions should give substantial weight to the value of using suitable brownfield land within settlements and promote and support the development of under-utilised land and buildings. The Council have produced an Affordable Housing Contributions Supplementary Planning Document, which provides information on the affordable housing requirement. The Council have not yet adopted the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) so currently development is not liable for CIL. Based on capacity and the positive pre-application advice, we believe the site offers potential for a residential development of up to 30 dwellings. A link to the Council s planning policy and constraints map is provided below; PublicProposalsMap/ More details regarding the above will be provided upon request.
