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.
