REZONING OF FIELD No 1341A
LA MONT DE TRINITÉ

Field 1341A encompasses 4.5 acres (11 vergees) of redundant agricultural land. It is bounded to the west by the SAFEWAY shopping complex and to the south and east by residential areas, to the north by field no 1343.


Despite the site’s elevation, it is well enclosed and visually would have limited impact beyond the adjacent properties.  The site provides an opportunity to integrate housing into the urban fringe landscape. It is ideally located close to educational facilities and within walking and cycling distance of the town centre. 

There is potential to provide a footpath and nature trails through the site, benefiting the wider area.  Access to the site would be provided from La Mont de La Trinité (opposite the entrance to St Ewolds residential home).

Potentially the site could yield 43 dwellings with open amenity space for the residents of the site and adequate parking for all residents, whilst encouraging residents to utilise public transport and cycle connections to the town.

As part of the development it is proposed to further plant additional trees on field 1341 and create woodland walks and nature trails around the site, whilst screening the development from the town, to the south.  

The proposals as tabled,  allows for 22 two bedroom dwellings and 21 three bedroom dwellings on the site. This layout and mix type could be revised to provide a smaller or greater number of different size units as well as the inclusion of a percentage of units disabled or sheltered housing.  The area of field no. 1341 nor half the width of the adjacent road have not been included in any density calculations for the site.
