The site is not connected to a settlement but is within walking distance of Badgers Mount where there are good transport links. There is existing access onto London Road which could be utilised. The site lies within the AONB however redevelopment of the site could contribute towards improving the character of the area. The presence of ancient woodland would require protection and a buffer between the woodland and any future development. Overall the site is considered able to accommodate development, subject to the retention or reprovision of the employment floorspace, however it is located within the Green Belt so this designation would need to change in order for it to be developed.
