David Wilson Homes www.dwh.co.uk | www.consultation-online.co.uk/poringland Proposals for land at Heath Farm, Stoke Road and Caistor Lane, Poringland

What’s proposed for Heath Farm?

David Wilson Homes is currently preparing Scheme layout plan proposals for the northern part of the site, while at the same time considering how the whole of the Heath Farm land could be developed with new homes in future. Public Open The plans for the northern part of the site Space propose a scheme featuring an indicative mix of: • 74 new open market homes and including – 6 x 2 bedroom bungalows – 6 x 2 bedroom houses High School – 21 x 3 bedroom houses – 33 x 4 bedroom houses Allotments – 8 X 5 bedroom houses • 36 new affordable homes and including

– 4 x 2 bedroom apartments Park Lawn – 25 x 2 bedroom houses – 7 x 3 bedroom houses • Public open space including allotments Public Open The access to the northern part of the site Space Public Open would be via Caistor Lane. Space Aside from the plans that have been developed to date and which, when finalised, will be submitted as a formal planning application, Phase 2 David Wilson Homes has also prepared a wider masterplan covering the southern element of the site. This vision indicates how this remaining part of the site could be developed with around 160 new homes in future. Proposed Health Phase 2 Centre Overall, the development of land at Heath Farm would deliver a range of important local Public Open benefits from additional low cost and family Space housing through to further accessible public open space and allotments. The proposals

would also generate a series of significant Stoke Road financial contributions for Poringland towards areas such as education and highways.

David Wilson Homes www.dwh.co.uk | www.consultation-online.co.uk/poringland Proposals for land at Heath Farm, Stoke Road and Caistor Lane, Poringland

Design and appearance

The site is relatively flat and it is proposed that the development will be split in two with up to 110 units to the north (Phase 1) and 160 units to the south (Phase 2). These will be linked by a generous public open space which will have a “park land” feel. This “park land” will be used by existing and new residents for recreational purposes with a dedicated play area and allotments being provided. Appearance The houses will be two storey with a limited number of bungalows being provided. Both private open market and affordable housing (33%) will be catered for in accordance with SNC’s Planning Policy. The houses will be constructed from good quality traditional materials and a vernacular architectural style will be adopted, providing variety in both mass and form. Layout The housing will be laid out to create a “sense of peace” which integrates with, and responds to, its context both within the site and more widely within the village. Design will be imaginative with well- considered architectural solutions to terminate views where appropriate and offer views over the surrounding countryside and open space. The routes through the site will be clearly laid out and distinctive character zones created through variations of house types and density, allowing visitors and residents to orientate themselves within the development. Phase 1 scheme layout

Sustainability The new houses will be built to reduce their energy demand and carbon footprint by improving wall, floor and roof insulation. 10% of the energy used within the dwellings will be provided on site from a renewable source such as solar water heating or photovoltaic panels.

What’s next?

Following today’s public exhibition, David Wilson Homes will consider all of the feedback received and will take this into account, where possible, as it continues to advance and finalise its proposals. Aside from taking the views of the community into account, feedback received from other consultees such as SNC Planning Officers and NCC Highways Officers will also help to shape the final plans for the site. As the detailed plans for the northern part of the site are moved forward, you will be kept up to date on progress. You will have a further opportunity to comment on the final proposals once they are submitted as SNC will carry out its own statutory public consultation ahead of a decision being reached. Thank you for your interest and the team looks forward to receiving your comments.
