Site map

Policy and capacity considerations

1. The site is located to the north-west of Kedington and comprises an arable field.
2. The site sits within a gap that separates Kedington from a recreation area associated with existing employment land. Landscaping will be required to maintain this gap and coalescence with the employment land should be avoided.
3. The site can be accessed from Haverhill Road to the east and would extend the entrance to the settlement to the north-west. The site must provide an attractive entrance to Kedington and be well connected to the rest of the village, including active travel links to the services within the village.
4. The site slopes towards the Stour Brook which flows adjacent to the north-east edge of the site and includes a flood risk area which may limit development along the north-eastern edge. Appropriate sustainable drainage systems (SUDs) must also be provided on site.
5. This site is generally of low biodiversity value, however, it may support protected and/or priority species.
6. Provide a wide landscape buffer (30 metre) to the River Stour and to the adjacent Risbridge Meadow, which is manged as a nature reserve.
7. Retain and enhance the existing hedgerows and boundary trees.
8. The site is in an area of flood risk and appropriate flood risk assessments will be sought where necessary.
9. The site is within one kilometre of one or more established public rights of way and opportunities to connect to these will be required.
10. Ongoing discussions with infrastructure providers will establish and define infrastructure requirements generated by the site.
