Located within Sevenoaks Weald urban confines the site is considered sustainable. The site lies within the AONB. The existing access onto Mount Pleasant Road could be utilised. A small part of the site is identified in the Open Spaces Study as amenity green space which forms an important part of the green infrastructure network. The loss of this use is not supported and would need to be clearly demonstrated. Given the small scale nature of the site and its close proximity to existing residential units there are some concerns over amenity impacts which could be addressed through high quality design. Overall the site is considered able to accommodate development.
