Long Lanes Description of the Area The site is dominated by surface level car parking and rear servicing and includes a large public house and a gym. The site links the town centre with the residential area to the south and includes the Long Lane public footpath. This draft LDO covers the area indicated on the plan shown in Schedule 1. Development Considerations Access Access to the site is from Paddock Street which is a public adopted highway. Servicing to the rear of Bell Street must be retained. The pedestrian links through the site via Long Lanepublic footpath must be retained and enhanced. There is an existing private right of way across the public car park. There may be potential to redefine but not extinguish the right of way as part of detailed proposals. Design Design proposals and uses for the site must adhere to the principles set out in the accompanying LDO Design Guide document (see Schedule 2, 3 and 4). Risk The site lies within Flood Zone 1, which has the lowest probability of flooding from Rivers and Sea, and is compatible with all forms of development. Additionally, the site is clear from reservoir flooding and any significant surface water flooding. Ground Conditions and Contamination An initial ground condition assessment and land contamination has been undertaken for the site. These have been carried out in order to check whether there are potential risks associated with the ground conditions that might require management or mitigation as part of development proposals. Geological mapping shows the site is underlain by superficial deposits of the GlenParva Member, which is a Till deposit of glacial origin that is typically characterised byclay. Beneath these superficial deposits, the bedrock geology consists of the BlueLias Formation, which is characterised by interbedded limestone andmudstone/siltstone. As part of any future redevelopment of the site, a detailed Phase 1 GroundConditions Assessment (desk-study) will be required. Ecology The site has no ecological designations.
