2. The Site and Surroundings Figure 2.2: Larkhill Garrison

Location

2.1 Salisbury Plain Training Area is the largest military training area in the UK comprising around 390 square km of land owned by the MoD. The Plain is a protected habitat of international value and renowned as an historic landscape encompassing numerous designated heritage assets. The area in and around Salisbury Plain hosts several established military camps, with the nearby garrison towns of Tidworth and Ludgershall forming the two most substantial areas of built form within the locality.

2.2 Larkhill Garrison is situated on the southern edge of Salisbury Plain, approximately 2km to the north of the A303 and Stonehenge in the County of Wiltshire. The nearest settlement is the village of Durrington approximately 3km to the east.

2.4 An artillery range had been established at Larkhill by 1901, but no permanent buildings were constructed until the relocation of the School of Gunnery for Horse and Field Artillery to the site in 1915.

2.5 In common with other camps on Salisbury Plain, it is likely that the early Camp comprised Larkhill Garrison timber huts, which began to be replaced by more permanent structures during the 1920s, and was later subject to an intense period of redevelopment in the late 1930s prior to the

Other Material Considerations Figure 3.1: Larkhill Garrison Development Zoning

Salisbury Plain Masterplan

3.9 In March 2013, the Secretary of State for Defence announced the Regular Army Basing Plan. This set out the future laydown of Army units in the UK consistent with the Army 2020 (‘A2020’) future operating model, and also confirmed the drawdown of all units from Germany by 2020.

3.10 The Plan has since transitioned into a delivery programme known as the Army Basing Programme (‘ABP’). This will affect most areas of the Army, as more than 100 units will either relocate, re-role, convert or disband, and is therefore critical to UK Defence.

3.11 As part of the ABP, around 4,300 extra Service personnel and their families will be relocated to the Salisbury Plain Training Area (‘SPTA’) between now and 2020. To support this move, there is a need for significant investment in the MoD estate to provide new and refurbished facilities to support the units, service personnel and their families.

3.12 DIO has been liaising closely with Wiltshire Council since mid-2012 on preparing and Source: Salisbury Plain Masterplan, July 2014 planning for the increase in unit numbers and associated unit moves arising from the ABP. This has culminated in the preparation of the Salisbury Plain Masterplan (‘the Masterplan’), which establishes the constraints and opportunities for new development, as well as providing an overview of where development will take place and the additional infrastructure that is needed.

3.13 At Bulford Garrison, the Masterplan identifies the need for new build living, training and technical accommodation in identified development zones, consistent with the existing landuse framework within the Camp.

3.14 In July 2014, the Wiltshire Council Strategic Planning Committee comfirmed that the completed Masterplan should be a material consideration in the determination of subsequent planning applications (such as this one).

3.15 The current proposals are broadly consistent with the Masterplan, and maintain the same land use zoning principles, although inevitably there has been some evolution of the scheme during the intervening period.

4.1 Extensive stakeholder and public consultation has been carried out as an integral part of 4.6 The consultation was crucial in explaining, in general terms, the basing plans for the Army, the Masterplan process. Full details are set out in the Statement of Community Involvement as well as presenting the proposals for the Camps, and the various considerations that (SCI) which supported the Masterplan. were taken into account to reach this stage.

Stakeholder Engagement 4.7 Static information boards were concurrently exhibited at Amesbury Library, Tidworth Library, Durrington Library and Salisbury Library for the six week period. In addition, the 4.2 Early engagement of key stakeholders was necessary to ensure that local issues were exhibitions were staffed on the following dates: taken into account at the first opportunity. This was particularly important due to the sensitive environmental context of Salisbury Plain which is characterised by a high number  24 February – Amesbury and Durrington Libraries;

Formal Public Consultation 4.10 12 written responses from the public were received at this stage and, where appropriate, minor revisions were made to the Masterplan. 4.5 A formal six week public consultation period took place between February and April 2014. This was preceeded by an initial stakeholder meeting at Wellington Academy, where Ward 4.11 The Masterplan proposals have been informed by the various consultation exercises listed and Parish Councillors, and local community groups were briefed on the feedback above. Since the development proposed within this HPA is substantially in accordance with received in response to the initial public consultation. the Masterplan, no further consultation has preceeded its submission. This approach has been agreed with Wiltshire Council.

5.1 Development ‘behind the wire’ at Larkhill Garrison is underpinned by a long-term 5.4 Aspire is committed to embedding sustainable development principles into the delivery of Masterplan approach, which seeks to satisfy operational needs whilst also ensuring that the ABP. Achievements during the delivery of earlier PAC construction work are described in a development is appropriate to its setting and creates a high quality living and working sustainability report at http://www.aspiredefence.co.uk/assets/sustainability/. Aspire has environment. also developed sustainable procurement guidance and training to encourage continual performance improvement within supply chains. Military Drivers 5.5 Consistent with this wider commitment, the design approach has been influenced by 5.2 Key military drivers that have informed the design response include: various sustainability considerations, including:

 Improving recruitment and retention;  Protecting the local environment, by respecting ecological and cultural heritage constraints, and minimising visual / landscape impacts;  Understanding and satisfying the soldiers’ needs;  Targeting development, wherever possible, onto 'brownfield' areas, thereby minimising  Providing an improved living and working environment; and development on open green space;  Creating an environment that will improve the soldiers’ quality of life.  Retaining, refurbishing and/or converting existing buildings, where appropriate, in order to minimise the need for new build development; and

Operational Requirements  Preserving and reinforcing the existing landscaping within the site, to enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the estate. 5.3 The Proposed Development has been designed to satisfy military requirements. For

example, buildings have to be placed specified distances from the secure fence line, areas of car parking and public roads in order to satisfy MoD guidelines relating to Counter 5.6 Sustainability appraisals have also been used to evaluate design options and highlight Terrorism Measures (CTM). The buildings have to be designed to meet operational needs, constraints. As a result, new buildings are mostly sited on brownfield areas within the which demand adherence to quite prescriptive space and layout requirements, as well as existing built footprint of the Camp, or greenfield sites of low ecological value. having regard to cultural factors, such as the need to retain unit integrity and separation of 5.7 Furthermore, all new buildings will achieve the Defence Related Environmental Assessment ranks. Suitable car parking provision is also essential. Accordingly, the design approach Method (DREAM) “excellent” rating, incorporating into the design measures such as seeks to: sustainably sourced timber (FSC), efficient boilers and water fittings (single flush, low flow

 Optimise the use of the existing estate where possible, whilst recognising unit identity shower head, systemisers for urinals), sustainable drainage systems, energy efficient lighting and integrity; controls and fittings, automatic meter reading and a low water demand landscape.

 Maintain clear separation of living and working areas, and ranks (Junior Ranks, SNCOs and Officers);

 Provide flexible accommodation to respond to future changes in operational requirements; and

 Integrate the requirements of Counter Terrorism Measures (CTM).

Land Use Zoning Figure 5.1: Internal Circulation Routes

5.8 The proposed development follows and reinforces the established land use zoning principles introduced through PAC, retaining a clear distinction between the living and working environments and an overall legibility to the site layout.

Access and Movement

5.9 All of the proposed development will be served from the proposed new entrance and VCP on Ross Road; the existing entrances to Horne and Roberts Barracks will be closed, except to pedestrian/cycle traffic which will continue to use the entrance on Watson Road. A new pedestrian/cycle gate will also be provided approximately mid-way along the eastern boundary of the site linking to Brind Road within the Camp.

5.10 The transport impacts of the full ABP proposals have been assessed in 3 site-specific Transport Assessment reports that accompany applications for the planned SFA developments at Bulford, Larkhill and Ludgershall. These identify the material traffic impacts associated with the ABP proposals (including the ‘behind the wire’ developments) and the potential highway improvements to mitigate those impacts.

5.11 In addition, an Overarching Travel Plan (OTP) has been prepared, which sets out an area- wide strategy for sustainable travel within Salisbury Plan, covering both the ‘behind the wire’ development and the new SFA proposed under the ABP. This identifies a series of

potential measures that offer the greatest potential to reduce car movements on the local highway network during the AM (0800-0900 hrs) and PM (1700-1800 hrs) peak periods.

5.12 The proposed development at Larkhill Garrison has been designed to support the implementation of the OTP, principally through the provision of a network of pedestrian and cycle routes and live-out changing facilities within the Camp. In addition, appropriate cycle parking is provided in connection with all new buildings.

Structural Planting and Screening

5.13 The development proposals are contained within the boundary of the Camp. Existing perimeter screening vegetation will remain unaffected, and the established typology of roadside tree planting will be retained and locally reinforced. Although there would be some intensification of development within the Camp, the masterplan layout has sought to further reinforce the zoning of uses established through PAC. The resultant cohesion promotes visual harmony. Demolition of existing built fabric also contributes to partial offsetting of the proposed new-build in the overall view. Thus, the Camp’s current general relationship to the landscape would be maintained.

5.14 As far as practicable, the development of the masterplan layout has sought to minimise the loss of existing tree cover, albeit some clearance from internal woodland areas has proved unavoidable. The Camp would retain its appreciable landscape structure, however, and overall screening value is not significantly compromised. Woodland

removed for development will be re-provided in full in new forestry-style planting plots of native species. These are concentrated at the Camp’s western end (at Purvis Lines), so as

to (ultimately) afford screening to the proposals in that location, and provide a reinforced 5.16 Within the Camp, a variety of formal and informal spaces are designed as functional landscape structure that responds to the scale and nature of the Camp and proposed landscapes that are appropriate to operational requirements, provide privacy to and masterplan changes. Existing and re-provided woodland will be managed for effective settings for buildings, and enrich the street scene. These spaces and routes are long-term screening and habitat connectivity and will progressively assimilate the characterised with tree planting in formal and informal arrangements with shrubs and development into the surrounding context. ground cover to provide structure and seasonal interest.

Environmental Quality 5.17 Trees will be planted at appropriate distances from buildings according to species, to prevent damage to structures and obstruction of sunlight into buildings. Away from 5.15 There are blocks and belts of significant trees and plantation woodland in and around the buildings, the opportunity is taken to create more informal landscape settings appropriate Camp and its perimeter. Whilst the proposals would require clearance from some of the for wildlife habitats, with native tree and shrub mixes. Where appropriate, low wodlands within the Camp, as much of the existing vegetation as feasible will be retained maintenance regimes (e.g by reducing the use of harmful chemicals and intensive within the new layout to provide scale, focus, enclosure and visual screening, as well as to cutting of grass) will allow them to develop into more ecologically valuable habitats. derive benefit from the mature character created by established vegetation and maintain These spaces also perform an important function as buffers between site uses.

Amenity Landscaping

5.18 Amenity planting of hedges, shrubs and ground cover, complemented by selected ornamental tree planting, is proposed to aid legibility and provide a local landscaped setting for new buildings, integrating them with the established landscape typology of the site. Ornamental shrub and ground cover planting will include herbaceous and bulb species for enhanced amenity and year round interest.

5.19 Semi-private spaces around accommodation blocks will be defined by hedge and shrub planting, with ornamental trees for height and scale. The working zones will have a more formal approach to their landscape design, with a hierarchy of planting types and sizes to reflect the use and status of the buildings. The operational requirements and associated extensive areas of hardstanding generally restrict soft landscape within technical areas to structural and buffer elements that respond to their scale and adjacent uses.

At the western end of the JR SLA ‘village’, a formal arrangement is employed to differentiate the facing, paired entrance spaces between blocks, with a sinuous layout for the complementary garden spaces.

6.26 Row planting of trees will line the street frontages, and either side of the 4 new blocks to the east of the diner, with shrub planting also on the street frontage to the new pitch.

6.27 A similar style of planting is adopted for the new eastern extension to the JR SLA ‘village’, with formal and informal layouts of amenity hedge, shrub and tree planting similarly differentiating between paired entrance and private garden areas to provide a local landscaped setting for the proposed blocks, and a coherent look and feel to the overall ‘village’ area. A retained mature woodland area to the east will provide enclosure, together with retained intermittent trees to the west and north.

6.28 Covered cycle parking is provided for 25% of building occupants, with space identified for further provision if needed. Car parking to serve the proposed JR SLA will be provided to the south (291 spaces) and to the north east (376 spaces).

6.29 There is a possibility that an additional 2 JR SLA blocks may be required in the future. The masterplan therefore ensures that this can be provided if necessary within the proposed layout.

6.32 The main entrance is positioned under a large south facing canopy set back to provide a Figure 6.4: JR Dining Centre Floorplan generous approach from the road to the south, with an angled façade of brickwork leading to a sliding door set within the curtain walling. Separate service entrances are proposed along the northern elevation connecting to a rear service yard. An external staircase provides access to a first floor plant space.

6.33 A geometric landscape layout of hedges and amenity trees springs from the building footprint for the new diner. It reinforces a sense of place for this communal facility, announcing its principal elevation and enclosing a patio area at the main entrance. An enclosed garden area is also proposed for the multi-function room. Row street tree planting provides separation from the technical area to the north.

6.34 The internal environment will be light, with a roof light over the servery and openable windows and patio doors, providing a contemporary space which can be linked to the external terraces in the summer time.

6.35 The main servery occupies the centre of the floorplan opposite the entrance, with the main dining area positioned to the east and kitchen/staff accommodation to the north. To the west there is a (convenience) retail shop close to the main entrance, and a café/casual dining area; the latter operating extended opening hours. A multi-function room is also proposed to the north of the café/casual dining area, separated by a folding partition.

6.36 The building has been designed to be fully compliant with the Building Regulations Approved Document Part M. This includes the provision of Disabled WCs in ‘public’ areas, and level access or ramps to all entrances, including drop kerbs and level thresholds at doorways. A disabled WC and Shower will also be provided for staff.

Figure 6.10: New Entrance and VCP All-weather, Flood-lit Football Pitches and Grass Pitch

6.61 2 new all-weather, floodlit sports pitches (LXS026 and LXS027) are proposed at the northern end of Alanbrooke Barracks. This will require some reduction in existing woodland blocks at both locations to enlarge the existing open areas sufficiently to accommodate the new pitches, although a substantial width will remain to provide enclosure. New, forestry-syle native planting is proposed to extend the retained portion of woodland to the north of LXS026. To the west of the pitch, a new row of trees will provide a sub-dividing landscape feature within the wider sports area. New hedge planting will enclose the accessess to both of the new pitches, containing players to hard areas so as to limit the potential for mud to be trafficked onto the synthetic surfaces.

6.62 A further grass pitch is proposed on an existing open grassed area west of Stirling Barracks at the southern end of the site. This area is contained by mature woodland blocks to the north and east.

Car Parking

6.63 In total, some 1,482 additional car parking spaces are proposed within the Camp to accommodate demand arising from the proposed development, as shown on the submitted External Areas Masterplan.

6.64 To comply with CTM, new parking spaces are located at least 25m from the nearest buildings. This precludes the provision of accessible parking spaces close to building entrances, which would normally be recommended for disabled people.

6.65 To the north east of the JR SLA ‘village’ a area of new parking (LXC656) is proposed on a largely open area of existing paddocks beyond a row of existing trees (some of which will be removed to obtain access). This will provide 382 new car parking spaces. An existing Tennis Courts woodland belt will provide enclosure to the east, as will a proposed belt of native planting to the north.

Further, a regular arrangement of planted islands (some with shrubs and some with small/medium size trees) will break the expanse of parking bays and reinforce the legibility of vehicle circulation routes.

6.69 The new car-park (LXC659) to the west of the proposed P&RTF (LA0671) will provide 50 spaces. New row tree planting to the north, together with a hedge, will provide separation Figure 6.12: Knee Rail Typical Detail from the existing sports pitch to the north. A second, shorter, row of trees is also proposed between the car park and the P&RTF. These tree rows will ultimately help filter views of one elevation of the P&RTF in views from the byway adjacent to the northern fence line and the nearby Knighton Down Scheduled Monument.

6.70 A second new parking area alongside the proposed P&RTF and existing tennis courts will be bounded to the west by hedge planting.

6.71 A further new car park (LXC657), providing 42 spaces, is located on a triangular shaped open area surrounded by trees, near to a new Officers’ SLA block (LA0680) for which planning permission has already been granted (15/00891/FUL). Hedge planting will contain the parking within the wider space, whilst planted islands will help to define the vehicle circulation routes.

management. Specifically these measures include:

 The provision of 19,000 sqm of woodland to replace 23,400 sqm lost to development,

with an aftercare programme of 10 years;

 An ABP-wide ecological mitigation strategy will create habitats compensating for the loss of semi-improved calcareous grassland and other habitats on DIO land;

 Implementation of nature conservation measures through a Construction Environment

Management Plan (CEMP);

 Obtaining European Protected Species Licences (EPSL) from Natural England for works which may disturb protected species including potential bat roosts;

 Bat emergence surveys and the incorporation of the equivalent number of features suitable to support roosting bats into new buildings, including bat boxes / cavity voids / bat bricks);

7.2 The approach taken to design has been informed by the site’s context, and the opportunities and constraints it presents, most notably landscape/visual impact and ecology matters. Account has also been taken of the various consultations that have been carried out previously as part of the preparation of the Salisbury Plain Masterplan.

7.3 The overall concept design of the proposed development is functional, reflecting its use for military purposes, and the context within which it will sit.

7.4 The proposed development will incorporate a number of sustainability measures within its design and it will be resilient to the effects of climate change.

7.5 In summary, it is considered that the proposed development represents ‘good design’ for the purposes of military accommodation in the context of the overarching needs established in the 2013 Army Basing Plan.
