Site Description The site lies immediately to the north and east of the built-up area of Horndean. Residential development on Bentley Close and Highcroft Lane adjoins the southern and western boundaries respectively, whilst a small number of dwellings on the south-western boundary take access from Chalk Hill Road. There are mature trees to the east, south-east and northeast. A public footpath runs along the southern boundary. Catherington Lith Nature Reserve lies to the north. The site largely comprises undeveloped grassland that is dissected by informal paths and a public right of way. The site is traversed by high-voltage powerlines and pylons. The land is generally flat but falls away steeply to the east, towards the A3(M). Chalk Hill Road forms part of the site and is a narrow access track that leads to a gated field entrance. There are uninterrupted views across the site from Chalk Hill Road, with northern and southern boundaries lacking green infrastructure. Adjoining housing is of detached houses, bungalows and two-storey buildings, often on relatively small plots.
