Chapter 5 Town & Village Centres Placemaking & Regeneration
Please find attached a site concept sketch which outlines the owner’s intention for the lands. We would envisage that the lands could be developed over a period of time, in phased basis, possibly over a 5 year+ timescale.
The design concept for the site is to deliver a mix of housing options such as
- Mix of house types and sizes to encourage diversity.
- 2 Bedroom Houses to suit older/starter couples.
- 3- and 4-bedroom Semi-Detached/Terraced Houses for families.
- Self-Build Sites for people who would be interested in self-build.
- Part V and Social and Affordable homes are the target market of the landowners where Phase 2 or Phase 3 houses would be appropriate.
In terms of non-residential development, the design concept would include for the following development:
- Retention of all Existing Mature Trees and hedgerows on site.
- Retention of existing historic Stone Walls on site
- No Cut/Fill proposed, development to be cognisant of existing site contours.
- Pedestrian Link from North to South through the site towards school
- Access to the river lands to form a linear park.
- Large Open Public Space, to be landscaped accordingly. This space is undulating but could have significant biodiversity properties if well designed.
- Home Office Pods/Hubs to encourage recent government policy objectives toward homeworking.
- Density of 12 units per Ha (site is 16 acres approx.)
- Tertiary lands to include lower density development with some run-over towards secondary lands.
