Site Description The site is located in the north-east of Bentworth. Bentworth’s primary school, a church and a village hall are in close proximity, to the west of the site on Church Street and within walking distance. The site adjoins housing to the north, a public highway to the east and a public right of way to the south. Undeveloped grassland lies to the west. The site is greenfield pasture with mature trees and hedges on its boundaries. It is relatively well-screened from the road, except from the south-east corner, where there are views into and across the site. There are powerlines running across the site and a field access (gated) along the southern boundary. The site is also connected to adjoining pasture to the west. The land is flat, forming part of a broad ridge within the wider landscape. Housing to the north is typically of semi-detached houses on narrow, often rectilinear plots. Housing to the south and east is more dispersed, of large detached dwellings on plots that vary in size but are often large or very large, and of a more rural character.
