Development considerations:
- The primary access to the site is currently a single track lane (Little Park Farm Road) accessed from Segensworth West Industrial Estate to the south, which passes underneath the railway line (in control of Network Rail) on entry to the site
- Interim road improvements are programmed which will allow access for HGV traffic up to 3.65m wide and 4.85m high. Preliminary engineering design plans are available on request
- Proposals for substantial road and bridge access reconstruction are planned which will enable all unescorted sizes of HGV traffic to access the site. Engineering designs for these works, including cycleway and pedestrian access are available on request
- A number of oak trees on the periphery of the site are protected by a Tree Preservation Order. These will be incorporated into the actual landscaping scheme for the site and is allowed for within the net developable site areas
- It is anticipated that primary development platforms would offer approximately 5.119 ha net
- An initial ecological survey supports the concept of development
- Consideration of the noise impact and air pollution resulting from the site’s proximity to the M27 must be considered in any development proposals.
