Goddards Lane, Sherfield-on-Loddon03EXISTING CHARACTER
The site lies immediately adjacent to the settlement of Sherfield-on-Loddon in the Loddon and Lyde Valley character area. This character area covers a broad tract of landscape extending from Old Basing, Chineham and Basingstoke eastwards and northwards to the District boundary. Loddon and Lyde Valley’s key characteristics and other relevant extracts are provided below:
• Broad, shallow valley sides of the River Lyde and River Loddon that meander through, and unify, the varying landscape types;
• The flat, lowlying valley floor pasture has a distinctive pattern of drainage ditches, willow-lined watercourses, water meadows and an often pastoral, remote character;
• Generally unspoilt, quiet and rural character, and a sense of remoteness in less accessible parts of the river valley, but with intrusion by major roads, the railway and electricity pylons in some areas, and by an incinerator immediately east of Chineham
The existing residential areas adjoining the site off Goddards Close and Goddards Lane include a range of 20th century dwellings of varying typologies with common themes including red brick and render; roofs of slate; and red clay tiles. The local character of Sherfield-on-Loddon provides design elements that could be taken forward into the proposed residential site. The historic core of the village contains a conservation area with many listed buildings of varying vernacular forms and styles. Red brick buildings with pantile roofs are widespread within the centre and timber frame construction with thatched roof detail .

The site is situated at the western edge of Sherfield-on-Loddon village and comprises of one field currently under arable use. Consequently it is lacking in any significant vegetation cover or other internal features of value. The site boundaries are well contained by existing features: Goddards Lane forms the southern site boundary. Goddards Lane is narrow, sunken and enclosed by hedgerows with occasional trees. The historic farm complex at Carpenter’s Farmhouse, off Goddards Lane abuts the site’s south western boundary.
Modern residential development situated by Goddards Close, Bow Drive and Bulls Down Close abut the eastern site boundary and includes bungalows as well as two storey properties.Trees and scrub along the Bow Brook corridor are situated adjacent to the site’s northern site boundary An established field hedgerow with a few mature trees forms the western site boundary.
