THE PROPOSAL

Informed by the technical work carried out to date, an initial Framework Masterplan has been prepared and is included above. This takes into account the context of the site and its relationship with the surrounding area and identifies potential areas for the delivery of residential development and open space on site.

The Framework Masterplan will be refined following this consultation and will form the basis of the outline planning application submission.

The submitted information will also include a Design and Access Statement that will present an Illustrative Layout. This will be used to demonstrate one way in which the proposed new homes, associated green space and infrastructure could come forward in compliance with the Parameter Plan. The submitted information will also explain how detailed proposals will deliver:

• A mix of house types and sizes (to address the local market and provide suitable provision in accordance with M4*2) (accessible and adaptable dwellings) and (M4(3) standards (wheelchair user dwellings));
• Accessible areas of public open space that are likely to include a new children’s play area;
• Measures to enhance biodiversity by 10% and sustainably manage surface water drainage;
• New residential streets that are characterful and buildings of an appropriate scale, with reference to the local context;
• A movement framework that gives priority to pedestrians and cyclists, establishes streets that maintain low vehicle speeds, and provides footpath connections to the adjacent area; and
• A considered approach to the provision of car parking for both residents and their visitors.
