Site Description The site lies immediately to the east of the Berg Estate, at the end of Shepherds Way/Willow Gardens. Chiltley Lane adjoins the southern boundary of the site, whilst the railway line is located immediately to the north. The rear gardens of properties along Ash Grove and Chestnut Close border the site to the west, whilst agricultural land lies to the east. Residential development to the west is low-density, set back from the road, with areas of incidental public amenity space and mature street trees. The site is a mix of grassland and agricultural buildings, which in the southern part of the site are used for intensive poultry farming. The land slopes gently, rising from the southwest to the north-east across the site. Boundaries include mature hedgerows and trees. There is no public access to the site, but there are views into and across the site from the end of Willow Gardens.
