* NPPF Sect 15174/175-to protect and enhance biodiversity.
* NPPF 16- Conserving the historic environment. R25 and R26 have two Grade 2 listed buildings on the boundary of the development. Red Rose Lane being the point of access for both developments having historical significance as a local plague road from the time of the Black Death
