Draft Talbot Village SPD Schedule of Representations No. Date Name Organisation Comments 1 10.08.2015 Mr Graham Talbot Village I am concerned about the proposed cycle way along Wallisdown Road (one of the busiest in the Borough). I guess this will see the Tuffin Residents removal of the tree belt, which provides a barrier to noise and pollution to those properties that back onto Wallisdown Road; will the Association Council propose to provide barriers, of the type that you see on some motorways? A better option, in my view, would be to direct cyclists along the existing cycle way - along the side of the Recreation Field and Talbot Combined School, missing out Wallisdown Road altogether. 2 11.08.2015 Mr Ian Patrick - There are some interesting ideas but it would be much better to have documents issued jointly by Poole and Bournemouth. 3 12.08.2015 Mr & Mrs F - Thank you for consulting us on the Draft Talbot Village SPD. As you can see from our address, the rear of our property will be adjacent Odell to the proposed Digital Village, and the proposed extension to Purchase Road (which will provide vehicular access to the Digital Village) is at the side of our property. Proposed Digital Village We are disappointed and surprised to see that this is proposed behind our house. The buildings will be very close to the Talbot Village SPA, and clearly within 400m of the Heath. We assume that Natural England have been consulted on the proposal. There is no report of their views (which must be crucial following the appeal dismissed in 2012). It would be surprising if NE support the proposal, as workers at the Digital Village could choose to walk on the Heath (e.g. in their lunch break) and so add to pressure on the Heath and protected species. If the proposed Digital Village is accepted in principle, we ask that the following be incorporated into the layout and designs: 1. The proposed green buffer between the backs of the Bishop Close houses and the Digital Village is increased to be significantly greater than the proposed building to building distance of 30m. so that there is no significant overlooking or blocking of outlook. The proposed trees in the green buffer should be of types and sited so that they do not grow to a height where they would block sunlight to the south facing rear gardens of the adjacent houses in Bishop Close. (In other words the trees should not be sited close to the rear gardens of the Bishop Close houses, but sited near the proposed buildings). The proposed green buffer must be given protected status so that it cannot subsequently be used for any other purpose (e.g. buildings or parking). The proposed tress and bushes in the green buffer should be planted several years before the proposed buildings are constructed so that screening is in place before the buildings are constructed or occupied. 2. The proposed buildings are single storey sloping away to no more that 2 storeys where adjacent to the Bishop Close houses and that there are no windows in the sides which overlook the houses and rear gardens of Bishop Close. The proposed buildings in the Digital; Village should be no higher than the proposed 2-3 storeys and no extensions to the buildings should be allowed without planning permission. 3. Measures are put in place to prevent subsequent change of used of the Digital Village buildings to any form of residential use. Traffic Routes We note that it is proposed to extend Purchase Road to provide access to the Digital Village and then to connect up to other proposed roads to form a through route. We object to this. It should be altered so that5 the existing bank across the end of Purchase Road is No. Date Name Organisation Comments retained and all vehicular traffic to the Digital Village is accessed via the proposed road to Boundary Roundabout. The currently proposed layout will result in a rat-run as drivers seek to avoid any traffic jams that build up on the Gillett Road or other routes. Vehicular use of the proposed extension to Purchase Road to connect tom the Digital Village will cause noise and disturbance to the residential properties in Bishop Close and should not be allowed. It is not a suitable route for vehicular access to a proposed employment area, which will include vans and lorries as well as cars. Construction Traffic No construction traffic should be allowed to use Purchase Road or the proposed extension to it in order to avoid unnecessary noise, disturbance, dust and pollution. All construction traffic should use the proposed direct route to Boundary Roundabout. Parking No parking should be allowed on existing residential roads during normal working hours throughout the year. If this is not imposed, then existing problems of parking on re3sidential roads in Talbot Village will greatly increase as in practice the amount of proposed parking will prove to be inadequate for the number of people at the extended Universities or Digital Village who wish to use their cars. Walking and cycle routes We support the proposed cycling and walking routes, which will improve access to Bournemouth town centre by walking and cycling. Please consult us again on any revised version of this document and any other relevant proposals and planning applications. 4 13.08.2015 Mr Paul - As a resident of Talbot Woods I'm very concerned about the proposals to build the Digital Village and the north/south spine. Cornes Inevitably many students and workers at both the University and the Digital Village will access these sites through the pedestrian access point to the Heath at the bottom of Alyth Road. They will do so after parking their cars in the surrounding streets which will increase noise, pollution and change the very quiet residential nature of this neighbourhood for ever. If residential parking restrictions are put in place for the residents of Alyth and Dulsie Roads, traffic will move to streets without parking restrictions with resultant the bumper to bumper all-day parking which we currently have in Huntly Road. 5 13.08.2015 Ms Meg - May I first say that it is difficult to assess the impact of the project as we have only been given information relating to the Poole plans. I Roberts feel it is essential to be given full information by both the Boroughs before the public can make an informed assessment. It would have been an ideal opportunity for the Boroughs to work together rather than in isolation which has always been the case up until now. It is also difficult to assess the impact of the proposed entrance/exit on the Boundary Road roundabout without having some idea of the numbers of cars predicted to use it. Finally, it is a great sadness that the last vestige of farmland evident in this area will be built over. I feel it has been important for my children to have seen the cows in the field over the years- important both for education and for state of mind when living in a busy town. I suggest that a City Farm would be more beneficial to the young people of the conurbation than an access road to the proposed Digital Village. I hope that Mr Potter will give this response some consideration. 6 14.08.2015 Mr Dave Wessex We note the scope and scale of the planned growth at this site. Para 8.2.7 indicates 3 phases of planned expansion for the University Ogborne Water No. Date Name Organisation Comments sites and the Digital Village proceeding from 2022 onwards. The master-plan should advise upon or include provision to develop a drainage strategy for foul and surface water disposal with Wessex Water. Foul and surface flows and discharges need to be confirmed and linked with capacity improvements for the phased expansion. Existing systems are unlikely to provide sufficient capacity for a development of this scale. We advise further discussion with Wessex Water to consider a capacity appraisal leading to phased infrastructure provision to match the rate of development. Land at the south associated with the Digital Village may require a pumped connection to an agreed location. Surface water disposal will require disposal to land drainage systems with flood risk measures approved by the Lead Local Flood Authority. 7 17.08.2015 Ms Linda - I have read with interest the leaflet about the Talbot Project. It was interesting and I had already written to Bournemouth about White Hulland Farm and received a reply from a Senior Lawyer. As I see it and I many be wrong some of the houses are going to be made into Student Accommodation ie. HMO thus ruining one of the few lovely places in this area to walk which has happened for ever. I have walked those woods for well over 30 years. It gets difficult now with some of the cars going at every kind of speed when a child or a dog may run out of the woods. It will be dreadful to see loads of students in those beautiful homes that everyone envies and wish they could live in. They were built for the people of Bournemouth not students although I understand University People already live there. Please can you tell me what will happen to White Farm. The public hoped it would be used for a Community Farm but was told no because of access. The trust say it will be used for Charitable purposes but I don't understand how if the access is so poor.
