There is an informal access into the site at the north eastern corner onto Church End Lane which wraps around the site to the north and east.

The application provides for an area of land in the northeastern corner to be transferred to the Parish Council to be used as a village green. The mechanism for this is set out in the S106 Agreement.
Whilst all matters are reserved, the site is expected to deliver a scheme of six semi-detached dwellings and 1 detached dwelling.

The approval of the scale, layout, appearance and landscaping will be determined through the approval of the reserved matters planning application.
