new house has two parking spaces in an attempt to alleviate this. Access to the
Back Lane site will be from West Street, not off Butt Lane.

We have also considered the fact that Traffic Noise from the by-pass will affect
houses on the Back Lane site, as it affects some areas of the village already. We
have therefore recommended that noise attenuation be provided along the
northern boundary of the Back Lane site in the form of bunds using the excess
spoil from the developments. This will also help reduce construction traffic through
the village.
To try to reduce impact we have asked that Construction Traffic be permitted to
come in off the by-pass, rather than through the village to the Back Lane site. We
will also want to see Considerate Construction agreements in place, as we had
when the new school was being built.
In order to encourage people from the new development to exercise and walk
dogs locally rather than across the Black Hill SSSI a SANG, (a ‘Suitable Area of
Natural Green Space’) will be provided between the Back Lane site and the by-
pass.

Flooding and Drainage is a concern, particularly with water run-off from the Back
Lane and North Street sites. All planning applications will need to meet the
requirements of the district flood risk policy and if necessary, flood alleviation
measures and sealed sewerage systems will have to be installed.
It would be foolish to suggest that 105 new homes could be built without any

impact at all, but we are, through the plan, determined to keep the impact in the
development phase, and afterwards, to the absolute minimum. Without a plan,
we would have little control.
