3.2 Urban Design Compendium (English Partnership / Housing Corporation)

The Urban Design Compendium sets out the process by which developers and other practitioners achieve good design through the establishment of good practice and creative thinking. The document considers a number of key principles for urban design and how they can be achieved. These are set out below:

• Places for people - To be well used and loved. Places must be safe, comfortable, varied and attractive. They need to be distinctive and offer a variety of choice. • Enrich the existing - New development should enrich and complement existing urban places at both region, city and neighbourhood scale. • Make Connections - Places need to be accessible particularly for pedestrians and cyclists and integrated physically and visually with their surroundings; • Work with landscape - Maximise each site’s intrinsic resources – climate, landform, landscape and ecology to maximise energy conservation and amenity; • Mix uses and forms - Stimulating, enjoyable and convenient places should meet demands from a wide range of users and utilise various built forms, uses, tenures and densities; • Manage the investment - For projects to be developable and well cared for they must be economically viable, well managed and maintained; and • Design for change - New development should be flexible enough to respond to future changes in use, lifestyles and demography.

5.7 Appearance The development of scheme proposals at the reserved matters stage would need to ensure that the reserve land is complimentary to Phase 1, is appropriate to its context and local building traditions within West Sussex, and has subtle variations in materials and building details to reinforce the legibility of the respective street types, while ensuring that it is a coherent part of the overall masterplan. The images of the Phase 1 site below indicate the variety of building form and architectural expression which could be applied on the Reserve Land site. The palette of proposed materials and details would be complimentary to those used within Phase 1.

The layout will be designed Foul Water Drainage in accordance with Horsham District Council’s current standards. The foul water drainage strategy will be designed to adoptable standards, with flows discharging to an adoptable pumping station located at the north eastern corner of the site. Flows from the site pumping station will discharge to the gravity sewers with Phase 1 of Kilnwood Vale. Surface Water Drainage

Surface water from the development will be conveyed by gravity pipe sewers that will be offered for adoption. The surface water from the development will be discharged to the attenuation pond north of the site. Permeable paving will be utilised in large car parks to provide source control of surface water and improve the surface water quality discharged from the car parking areas. Surface water will be discharged from the attenuation pond at greenfield run off rates. Due to poor soil infiltration rates, soakways were considered inappropriate for the site. The attenuation pond in addition to limiting flows off the site will provide amenity value and enhance biodiversity on the site.

6.7 Site Waste Management Strategy Provision will be made within dwellings for the storage of recyclable waste to assist in encouraging recycling within the household. This space will generally be provided either in kitchens or utility rooms. Storage and collection of refuse and recyclable waste has been considered as an integral part of the design process. Storage provision will be made on the basis of the following: Houses • 1 no. 140 litre residual waste bin • 1 no. 240 litre recyclable waste bin • 1 no. 240 litre garden waste bin

External residual and recyclable waste storage will generally be within rear gardens for terraced and semi detached houses without garages, and as part of the garage provision for semi-detached and detached properties with on plot parking. Terraces will be a maximum of five houses in length with a passageway giving rear access to gardens for bins, cycles and general rear garden access.

Apartments Storage of residual and recyclable waste for apartments has been based on the provision of an 1100 litre bin for each per six flats. Residual waste is collected weekly and recyclable waste and garden waste is collected alternate fortnightly on a different day to residual waste. A worst case provision has been allowed in the design of the hardstand spaces incorporated in the street for 1 no. 240 litre bin per household. The hardstand space allows the bins to be stored adjacent to the adoptable highway.
