Key Development Considerations
For any development to go ahead, the council has outlined several requirements that need to be addressed. These include:
Access - Main access to the site must be from St Martins Road.
Design - The development needs to be "landscape-led," meaning it should retain existing trees and hedgerows where possible and not be intrusive to surrounding views.
Heritage - A Heritage Impact Assessment is required due to the proximity of Harecastle Farmhouse, a Grade II listed building.
Assessments - Several assessments are needed, covering potential risks from coal mining, land contamination, noise from the nearby A34 and A500, and archaeological remains.
Infrastructure - The developer will need to provide and fund enhancements to local pedestrian/cycle routes and contribute financially to local schools, health facilities, and improvements at the Talke Signals junction.
Flood Risk - A sequential approach to development is required, prioritising areas with the lowest flood risk.
This allocation indicates that the council is in favour of residential development on this site in principle, provided these specific conditions are met.
