The Old Chapel Chapel Lane Aslockton Nottinghamshire NG13 9AR

1. 1.The proposal would result in an intensification of use of Chapel Lane, which due to its narrow width, lack of passing opportunities and turning provision and pedestrian facilities, is not considered suitable to serve additional residential development. It would also result in an intensification of use of the vehicle access to the site from Chapel Lane which is also considered unsuitable to serve additional residential development due to its restricted visibility. Furthermore, the proposal would result in a shortfall in available parking provision for the existing dwellings in The Old Chapel, while the integral garage in the proposed new dwelling is substandard which could result in an overspill parking onto Chapel Lane. Taken together, this would result in an unacceptable impact on highway safety. The proposal therefore fails to accord with Rushcliffe Local Plan Part 2: Land and Planning Policies Policy 1 'Development Requirements', Policy 11 'Housing Development on Unallocated Sites Within Settlements' and fails to have regard to Nottinghamshire County Council's Highway Design Guide and Chapter 15 of the National Planning Policy Framework
2. 2.The application site has the potential to include a former burial ground associated with the Old Chapel. Insufficient information has been submitted to assess the potential presence, extent and significance of burials, human remains, archaeological deposits and associated heritage assets within the site. In the absence of a Burial Ground Assessment and supporting evidence, the Local Planning Authority is unable to properly assess the impact of the proposed development on heritage assets, archaeological remains and human burials, or determine whether adequate mitigation measures could be secured. The proposal therefore fails to demonstrate that it would preserve or appropriately manage the significance of heritage assets and potential archaeological remains and is contrary to the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework and Rushcliffe Local Plan Part 2: Land and Planning Policies Policy 29 'Development affecting Archaeological Sites', Policy 39 'Health Impacts of Development', Policy 40 'Pollution and land Contamination'
