Up to 64 New Homes
35% Affordable Housing.
COMMUNITY FACILITIES - Inclusion of serviced land for the development of a community building (which will be transferred freehold to the Parish in perpetuity)
ACCESS AND HIGHWAYS - Access to the site will be taken from Sand Hill from a point approximately 70m north of its junction with Hadleigh Road.
HERITAGE - Although Boxford has a rich history evidenced by its conservation area, the site lies outside the village core.
The site does not contain any designated heritage assets, and there are none within the immediate vicinity, and do not form a significant constraint to the development.
According to the Suffolk Historic Environment Record, the site has no identified archaeological remains (other than stray artefacts unsystematically recovered from the topsoil, such as the remains of a well-abraded Anglo-Saxon brooch and a post-medieval ring).
FLOODING - The site is fully located within Flood Zone 1.
These are areas with a less than 1 in 1000 annual probability of flooding from rivers, the lowest probability of flooding. National Planning Policy advises that such areas are suitable for residential development.
