Proposed Submission Local Plan 2006-2028
Future Masterplanning
5.46 These studies are moving into areas of more detailed planning of the urban extension that will require detailed masterplanning to develop the location of growth into a detailed scheme that can be implemented. This masterplanning is anticipated as a necessary process to be undertaken within the context of an area based development planning document and with the full engagement and ownership of the wider Yeovil community as well as the local communities immediately adjacent the direction of growth. The masterplan will be designed in such a way that will contribute to the green infrastructure strategy.
5.47 Further detail on all of the key issues in delivering the Yeovil Sustainable Urban Extension will be addressed in the Area Action Plan to be produced after the Local Plan is adopted.
5.48 The masterplan will be able to pick up on issues identified in the Council's Habitat Regulations assessment and ensure that the appropriate mitigation measures are taken in relation to the bat foraging features and routes from the Brackets Coppice special area for conservation some 6 to 8 miles to the south west. The assessment identifies the masterplan as the appropriate means to address these matters.
The Yeovil Sustainable Urban Extension should be located to the south and west of the town and should provide the following:
- 11.0 hectares of 'B' use class employment land;
