In order to ensure that the vision and strategic to signify to drivers that they are entering a objectives for the Three Villages are achieved, a residential area. number of development and design principles have been established. This section sets out overarching The new A29 will also need to cross the railway line development principles to guide the content of which bisects the site. Further detail is provided proposals in terms of land use and overall structure, under the Design Principles section. and more detailed design principles to inform the layout of street blocks, the nature of local centres The other main primary route would be the and street typologies. east-west route connecting the eastern edge of Westergate (north of the level crossing) to the These principles are intended to supplement and western edge of Barnham, south of St Philip Howard provide further detail to the draft Local Plan policies High School. This new route would not provide in order to inform proposals by land owners and direct vehicular access to Barnham railway station but developers. a new parking area south of the school would enable drivers to park here and walk the short distance eastwards to the station (see Figure 6.4). 6.1 Key development principles

1. Two key north-south and east-west routes Both roads will be tree-lined boulevards (see through the site: the new A29 road and a new east- Design Principles for further details) and be safe, attractive routes for pedestrians and cyclists as well west connection linking Westergate to west Barnham as vehicles. Pedestrian and cycle routes into and Figure 6.1 shows the two main primary routes out of the development will be created and existing through the site. The new A29 road will be footpaths preserved and enhanced – this includes diverted north of Lidsey Caravan Park through improvements to existing crossings over the railway. the development site and up towards the B2233 Barnham Road. In order to ensure that this spine road does not become a barrier to east-west pedestrian movements within the residential neighbourhoods, a 30mph restriction should be implemented along this road when it enters the residential area – this could be enforced through the use of gateway features such as a roundabout,

A main local centre for the new community with a secondary centre south of the railway line New local centres Figure 6.2 shows the proposed location of the main local centre north of the railway line and a second, New A29 smaller centre to the south. A 10-minute walking catchment area is shown from both centres to East - west connector illustrate that most homes will be within easy walking distance of local services and facilities, a key principle Railway line of creating sustainable development.

Both centres will be located on the new A29 road to take advantage of passing trade. The main centre will be located at the junction of the two primary routes through the site and is likely to also complement the offer from the surrounding villages by providing local convenience shops, services and facilities such as a nursery and community centre. The main centre would be the most appropriate location for architecturally prominent buildings.

3. A green buffer wrapping around the new development and the creation of a new country park to the west Figure 6.3 shows how a green buffer encloses the new development and maintains separation between it and the surrounding villages. The green buffer separates the development from the B2233 Barnham Road to the north, the Church Lane conservation area to the southeast, the sewage plant and canal to the south, Westergate in the west and Eastergate conservation area to the northwest.

A new country park is proposed to the west of the development, running north-south through the site along the existing watercourse and will provide Figure 6.2 - Local centres page 30 Three Villages Visioning Brief | Draft Report

a large natural area for biodiversity and recreational use for local residents. This country park will cross Pedestrian cycle links New local centres the railway line which itself will become an ecological corridor for wildlife (with no pedestrian access other New A29 Local open spaces than for track maintenance). This corridor will also East - west connector benefit from having rear gardens of homes backing Green links onto the railway line to help encourage biodiversity. Railway line Green buffer & open space The local gap between Eastergate and Barnham will be largely retained but it will also be important Mature hedges / tree lines for the new settlement to have a visible gateway from the north which differs from the existing two Waterways villages. A deep setback (of at least 100metres) Country Park will therefore be required for any development south of Barnham Road so that the local gap is not Railway line significantly encroached upon.

A series of green spaces for play areas and recreation will be provided throughout the site in accordance with the Council’s Supplementary Planning Guidance requirements on open space.

The green east-west connections shown on the plan Ecological are tree-lined roads to encourage use by pedestrians corridor and cyclists.

Existing tree lines and hedgerows will be maintained and new planting included throughout the site to screen the railways and edges of development which front onto the country park or green buffer.

Figure 6.3 - Green Infrastructure

page 31 Efficient larger blocks for residential development Figure 6.4 illustrates how the proposed secondary Secondary routes road network and green infrastructure defines the blocks for development. The proposed road Gateways layout allows for the definition of larger blocks which can enclose large rear gardens which provide Development parcels opportunities for recreation, biodiversity and wildlife, as well as greater levels of security and surveillance. Entrance pedestrian crossings / footbridge New residential development should: New local centres Include a mix of housing types and sizes (Policy ! New A29 DM18: Housing Mix);

! Include 30% affordable housing on a site-by-site East - west connector basis (Arun’s Affordable Housing Policy); Pedestrian cycle links ! Include family homes with generous gardens where possible across the majority of the site; and Local open spaces

! Be of a high quality design with attention to detail Green links and variety of character with key buildings at prominent locations throughout the development Green buffer & open space (e.g. at the main local centre and at the gateways). Mature hedges / tree lines

Density Low density development will be located around 35+ dph the northern, southern and western edges of the development and east of Westergate – this relates 30-35 dph to 20 to 25 dwellings per hectare – to ensure that the development fits in with the surrounding 25-30 dph landscape as much as possible. Slightly higher density development would be located immediately 20-25 dph west of Barnham, with medium density development towards the centre of the site. This could increase at the main local centre to above 35 dwellings per hectare, to give visual prominence to the centre.

page page 38 38 Three Villages Visioning Brief | Draft Report Three Villages Visioning Brief | Draft Report Typical development blocks Blocks are well defined in perimeter. Houses are the predominant typology and are arranged in pairs or groups of 4 and 6 homes. Buildings have a recognisable built line allowing for recessions or protrusions of groups of buildings that provide interest and rhythm. Backs of blocks are occupied by generous gardens with large trees, hedges, and planting. Rear court car parking or hard surfaces should be avoided, keeping cars on-street and to the Typical Main Road front and side of properties.

Towards the edge of the neighbourhood, the linear layout is less regimented1.0 and theTitle urban pattern Here looser with semis and detached houses being the norm. List of Subtitles within this section End of block houses should ‘turn’ the corner to avoid blank/dead walls. x Shared driveways reduces the number of access points on x the road
