The south eastern land (Site A) is crossed by an overhead high voltage electricity line that runs in a south west to north east direction. Applications for housing that have been submitted by developers on adjacent plots have kept a buffer strip of 60m wide under the powerlines clear of built development, The land beneath the powerlines has been proposed on adjacent sites for surface water drainage attenuation ponds, service roads, vehicle parking and manoeuvring areas, and open space.
