Policy GNLP0264: Dog Lane, Horsford

6.68

This proposal at Dog Lane is for the redevelopment of a soft play centre and other commercial premises.  It has been allocated for residential development as it is a brownfield sites which is well related to the form and character of Horsford although the proximity to remaining industrial uses will need to be considered.  The site is only acceptable for development if access is taken from Horsbeck Way as Dog Lane and it’s junction with the Holt Road are not suitable for additional traffic.

Policy GNLP0264

Dog Lane, Horsford, (approx. 1.78ha) is allocated for residential development.  The site is likely to accommodate approximately 45 homes.

More homes may be accommodated, subject to an acceptable design and layout, as well as infrastructure constraints.

The development will be expected to address the following specific matters:

  1. Vehicular access will be from Horsbeck Way.
  2. Provision of enhanced pedestrian crossing facility and the access would need to be modified to enhance pedestrian facilities and walk to school routes.
  3. The site intersects with a water course.  A WFD compliance assessment for the watercourse receiving the runoff will be needed.  A buffer of 20m between the watercourse and gardens will need to be maintained and opportunities for riparian habitat restoration will need to be secured.
