Val D'Or Works, Knapp Lane Brimscombe

Main constraints: Dockyard Works Local Plan Site Allocations Policy SA1g; Industrial Heritage Conservation Area, demolition of buildings, flood risk. Site investigation required. Summary: The site is allocated in the Local Plan for mixed use redevelopment and is considered suitable for redevelopment for housing /community development and employment uses. Part of the site is within flood zone 3 and will require the reinstatement and maintenance of the adjacent Canal channel off-site to reduce flood risk and improve river corridorfunctionality. Access will require improvements to the Knapp Lane/Toadsmoor Road/A419 junctions. The site is not currently available but there is a reasonable prospect that the site will be available in the medium term and that development as envisaged will be delivered on the site within 15 years.. This site could be developed for medium to high density housing comprising flats and townhouses, offices and community uses, at an average density of 30-50 dph and the suggested yield is up to 10 units, subject to achieving a satisfactory mix with other uses.
