Topography of area

The area proposed for the development consists of a number of fields which form the bottom of a valley and has a low point of 72.5m above sea level. It is bordered to the north by residential properties, which are built on land rising to an elevation of 85m over a distance of 400m, and rising further to 118m just north of Ash Hill Road. To the south, the land is bordered directly by a disused railway line banking which is over 2m higher than the proposed development area. The land on the other side of the railway banking then rises over a distance of 1500m to the Hogs Back A31 road, which reaches to over 130m. To the east, the land rises gently to 85m over a distance of 1000m, and to the west the land is bordered by Manor Road and Ash Manor School which is at an elevation of 77-79m. The proposed development is therefore surrounded by higher land apart from a small area to the north-west corner which opens to the lowest point in Manor Road.
