320-800 depending on the extent of development (agent estimate)
Farmland, motorcross track
Appropriate topography;
Flood zone 1 (lowest risk of fluvial flooding);
No Scheduled Ancient Monuments, Historic Parks and Gardens, Sites of
Special Scientific Interest, , National Nature Reserves, Local Nature
Reserves, Common Land, Tree Preservation Orders or Public Rights of
Way in the vicinity of the site or close enough to be affected by
development at this site;
Site considered suitable, available and achievable.
Outside, but adjacent to the settlement boundary of Fleet;
Site is in an area identified as having a variable (low, medium, and high)
potential likelihood of surface water flooding
Mixture of medium and high potential likelihood of groundwater flooding;
Listed buildings nearby;
Conservation Area nearby to south east;
Site of Importance for Nature Conservation within the site, and some
nearby;
Within 5km of the SPA;
Part of the site may be high grade agricultural land (best and most versatile
land);
Residential development would not be permitted at this location under
current policy.
The design of any new development may need to include mitigation relating
to surface water and groundwater flooding and should not adversely affect
the setting or character of the nearby listed buildings and Conservation
Area. The SINC within the site should be protected, and impacts on
nearby SINCs should be minimised. A contribution towards SPA
mitigation will be required. Investigation into land quality may reveal that
the land is grade 3b rather than 3a, in which case there will be no issue
with losing high grade agricultural land. Policy would need to be changed
for this development to be permitted by way of extending the settlement
boundary for Fleet.

Flood zone 1 (lowest risk from fluvial flooding);
Mostly low but partly medium potential likelihood of surface water
flooding;
No Scheduled Ancient Monuments, Historic Parks and Gardens, Sites of
Special Scientific Interest, National Nature Reserves, Common Land, Tree
Preservation Orders or Public Rights of Way in the vicinity of the site or
close enough to be affected by development at this site;

site;
No significant policy constraints;

Medium potential likelihood of groundwater flooding;
One listed building nearby;
Conservation Area nearby;
Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation nearby to north and south
west of the site;
Local Nature Reserve a few hundred metres to north;

The design of any potential development may need to include mitigation in
terms of groundwater flooding, and should ensure that the nearby listed
building, Conservation Area, Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation
and Local Nature Reserve are unaffected. A contribution towards SPA
mitigation will be required.
