Our Proposals

The scheme will deliver approximately 950 new dwellings, with 285 (30%) of those being affordable homes in accordance with local planning policy.

Housing will comprise a mix of size and tenure, and designed using materials reflective of the local character

The desire to protect existing trees and hedgerows has been fundamental to the masterplanning process, and essential for species conservation and reducing the landscape and visual impact.

Where possible, new hedgerows and trees are proposed through the incorporation of 'green fingers', breaking up the built form and reducing the impact from visual receptors.

As a result, the proposed scheme will deliver biodiversity enhancements and betterment compared to that of the existing land use.

The proposed development offers greater permeability through the site, promoting the use of sustainable forms of travel from north to south, east to west, through numerous green corridors (snickets), separated from the road network.

Either side of the main spine road will feature a 3 meter wide active corridor with a designated cycle lane, supporting safe active modes of travel.

Through early and ongoing engagement with the Parish Council, the scheme will provide a new vehicular link and car park to Jubilee Playing Fields, creating a safer link to the recreational area with additional parking capacity.

The proposed development will provide numerous opportunities for recreational activity in the form of Locally Equipped Areas of Play (LEAP's) and Neighbourhood Equipped Areas of Play (NEAP's). These areas are overlooked by adjacent dwellings, facilitating 'natural surveillance' of these areas as safe places for recreation

A detailed Flood Risk Assessment and Drainage Strategy will accompany the application.

New surface water and foul water sewer networks will be constructed to service the proposed scheme.

Surface water will be managed through a sustainable drainage system, comprising a series of swales leading to an attenuation pond in the north of the site which will in turn restrict the rate at which surface water is discharged from the site and will take in to account the potential future impacts of climate change.

Noise modelling has been undertaken to inform the masterplanning process, specifically regarding the M5 and railway line to the north and north east, respectively.

As a result a noise bund, comprising an earth bund with planting and an acoustic fence is to be created along the northern boundary of the site. The 3 meter high acoustic fence will line the top of the bund, with the earth bund varying in width and height, influenced by the relative height of the carriageway from the land.
