GNP10 is a brownfield site of approximately 0.3ha in the heart of the village within the Goring Conservation Area. There are no listed buildings on the site itself but there are heritage buildings in the vicinity. The site is in Flood Zone 1. The scale and characteristics of the current site mean that it is a poor ‘fit’ with the Conservation Area and would benefit from sensitive redevelopment.
The site was used as a commercial property, warehouse and associated car park. The previous tenant has now terminated its lease and vacated the site. The site also provides some parking spaces for nearby businesses.
The aerial view opposite shows the full site highlighted in purple. The site is surrounded on three sides by existing dwellings and by commercial/retail properties on the High Street. In views from the wider AONB landscape it is not possible to distinguish this space within the village settlement. There are mature trees along the garden boundaries (a) with adjacent houses in Glebe Ride. Buildings separate the site from the High Street from where there is an entrance to Thames Court. The north boundary (b) is enclosed by the back-garden boundaries of houses in Maple Court. The east boundary (c) abuts the rear garden boundaries of dwellings fronting onto Cleeve Road. Boundaries (d) and (e) are brick wall topped with timber fence, which visually and physically separate the site from the adjacent garden.
The site is almost entirely enclosed by buildings and there are glimpsed views between the buildings, from the adjacent roads and from the Gardiner Recreation Ground (Points 1 and 4). Views from the recreation ground to the east (Point 4) are mostly screened or filtered by mature avenue trees along Cleeve Road.
Policy.09: Allocated Site GNP10: Site-specific requirements
Policy.09: Allocated Site GNP10: Site-specific requirements
The site in the centre of the village of approximately 0.3 ha is allocated for approximately 14 new homes.
A Masterplan (as part of the planning application) will be supported provided that the proposed development complies with the following site-specific requirements:
1. At least 10 of the new dwellings must have 1 or 2 bedrooms.
2. Vehicular access must be provided onto Cleeve Road.
3. There must be pedestrian linkages from High Street, Cleeve Road and through The Birches to Thames Road.
4. The developed site must include sufficient parking spaces for the occupants of the new dwellings and their visitors together with neighbouring businesses which currently utilise parking provision on the site, such that there is no impact upon the surrounding streets, having regard to Local Authority adopted standards.
5. New buildings must be designed to fit in with the design, material, character and height of the Goring Conservation Area and be of an appropriate density for this context. Height and mass of the new buildings must be in keeping with that of the surrounding historic buildings.
6. The design of all new buildings should conform with the provisions of SODC's Design Guide and also the Chilterns Building Design Guide.
7. Soft landscaping must be created to introduce screening as appropriate for which a management strategy must be provided.
8. This site is in the centre of the Goring Conservation Area. An archaeological assessment must be provided. The Oxfordshire Historic Environmental Records should be reviewed for any records of archaeological remains
