The site is adjacent to an existing settlement and therefore has access to utilities infrastructure. Two pylons traverse the north part of the site in an east-west direction. See attached Site Features and Constraints Plan for the location of pylons. The presence of pylons on the site could allow for a buffer area of public open space between the employment area to the north and land to be developed to the south. Please refer to Vision Document (February 2020) https://rapleys.sharefile.com/d-s37827bb5c114917a.
