PENWORTHAM MILL DEVELOPMENT Introduction Trafford Housing Trust is profit for purpose housing association which manages over 9,000 properties In Trafford and the North West. As a profit-for- purpose organisation, Trafford Housing Trust invests all profits back into developing new homes, including social and affordable housing, and assisted living projects. The Trust also invests in projects to eradicate poverty and homelessness, and to strengthen communities. In October 2019 Trafford Housing Trust was acquired by L&Q, one of the UK’s leading housing associations and developers, managing more than 100,000 homes. The acquisition is enabling Trafford Housing Trust to enhance its Quality Home Standard for its existing 9,000 homes in the North West, and supports a long-term ambition to create 20,000 new, affordable homes across the region. It will also result in the creation of the £4 million North West Foundation, helping local residents with skills, employment, health and well-being. Trafford Housing Trust acquired the Penwortham Site in April 2019 which Bovis Homes previously had planning approval for 385 new homes across the site but since acquiring the land we have since been working up new designs to bring forward the development in-line with our vision. Vision/Aim Our vision is to help tackle the housing crisis and create fantastic places to live. This site aims to create up to 330 new high quality homes and a new Lidl Supermarket to benefit the local community by maximising choice of homes, enhancing public open space, having a new discount food store to shop and also creating employment opportunities for local people. Character Analysis Good ‘place-making’ starts with careful analysis of the site and it’s surroundings. The aim is to identify key site opportunities and constraints that can influence the developing masterplan and help to create places that respond to and reflect local character and distinctiveness. A visual analysis (see plan) identified that from the elevated main part of the site important views are afforded to different site boundaries and adjacent areas. At the western edge attractive views are across a wooded stream corridor, giving a sense of green enclosure. In contrast, views across the reservoir to the east are more open and expansive whilst distant views northward are across a wider valley toward the Ribble Valley and landmarks on the Preston skyline. These views can be retained along new streets whilst the landscape character of adjacent areas can be reflected in the layout and design of new streets, gardens and homes which overlook them. Other analysis studies have included analysis of existing residential streets and areas throughout Penwortham and Lostock Hall to identify locally distinctive building forms, materials and streetscapes. Character Areas In this way, analysis studies have helped to influence the development of proposed ‘character areas’ throughout the masterplan. These include a more formal main street as a central neighbourhood ‘spine’, a more informal arrangement of homes and gardens overlooking the wooded valley, some larger homes with open views across the reservoir and an area including town-houses and flats arranged upon informal lanes around the site of the former factory building and Factory Lane in the north of the site. Character Analysis Character Area PENWORTHAM MILL DEVELOPMENT Site Location The site is located between Walton-le-Dale, Lower Penwortham and Lostock Hall just off Leyland Road and the recently constructed Cross Borough Link Road to the South of the site. The site consists of two elements; the Sumpter Horse Pub Site on Leyland Road and also the main part of the site which is to the East. Adjacent to the proposed site is Lake Wood Reservoir to the East and the Vernus Carus Sports Club on Factory Lane to the North. The site is allocated for residential development under local planning policy. PENWORTHAM MILLS This plan is for indicative purposes only. Contains Ordnance Survey data © Crown copyright and database rights 2020. PENWORTHAM MILL DEVELOPMENT Masterplan The proposed scheme entails up to 330 new high quality homes with a mixture of 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes developed across the site with a new Lidl Supermarket proposed off the new Cross Borough Link Road. The design will be more modern than traditional housing but will be sympathetic to local character. Homes are located to try and maximise views of the existing reservoir and new public open space which is being created through the development. The homes will be for a variety of tenures with at least 50% of the homes being for sale on the open market, and the remainder being a mix of Affordable Rent (80% of market- rent) and Shared Ownership. The range of homes and tenures will maximise affordability and choice for local people to access these homes to meet their needs. The main point of access for the site is now proposed through the recently constructed Cross Borough Link Road rather than through a new road to be created off Leyland Road through the Sumpter Horse Pub Site which was approved previously. The Sumpter Horse Pub Site itself will deliver 100% affordable housing and some of the homes will also include four bungalows and some apartments which we will be able to target at the older community by working closely with South Ribble. We have identified a parking area which will have spaces available for existing residents on Leyland Road to also park within the development as Leyland Road will still be required to be widened as per the previously approved development. With less but more spacious and more affordable homes than the previously approved Bovis Homes proposal and a new Lidl Supermarket, we believe our proposed masterplan will bring a much higher quality new development to the local area and benefit the community. Possible material variation at prominent building location PENWORTHAM MILL DEVELOPMENT PHASING Our proposal is to develop and build the site in different phases which is highlighted by this plan. We are looking to submit as follows: 1) A detailed planning application for the development proposed on the Sumpter Horse Pub Site for up to 30-homes. 2) A separate hybrid planning application for the development proposed on the main site which will include: • Detailed plans and application for a ‘Phase 1’ on the main-site for up to 120 new homes • Detailed plans and application for a new Lidl Supermarket • Outline plans for a ‘Phase 2’ and ‘Phase 3’ on the main site for up to a further 180 new homes. Detailed plans and a separate application for these phases will be submitted at a later date (likely to be at least 2 years). Subject to the plans being approved, we would hope to start works on both the Sumpter Horse Pub Site and the Main Site later this year with first homes to be completed towards the end of 2021. We are working towards the Lidl Supermarket being opened around this time too.

PENWORTHAM MILL DEVELOPMENT Leyland Road Widening Detailed Masterplan- Phase 1 Pub Site In-line with the previously approved planning application approval for the Penwortham Development, we will be required to widen Leyland Road Primary Roads to help traffic and allow a separate right-hand turn lane into the new development. It is recognised that this will unfortunately mean a double Secondary Roads yellow line is still required along from 242-262 Leyland Road (11 properties) which will restrict the on-street parking by 10 spaces to this section of road Shared Surface to allow suitable flow of traffic. Private Drive As part of the proposed residential development, there are 38 x parking spaces proposed between the 17-homes (8 are 2-bedroom homes, 9 Parking Allocation for Existing Residents are 3-bedroom homes) at the front of the site. This area will be fully lit and overlooked by the new homes. We will allocate 26 of these spaces Wildflower Meadow specifically to the occupiers of the new-homes, and have identified in brown colour 12 spaces which will be unallocated and available for existing Grass Lawn residents on Leyland Road to park to minimise the impact caused. Ornamental Shrub Planting Whilst it is appreciated this may cause disruption to existing on-street parking on Leyland Road, the new development on the Sumpter Horse Amenity Grass Pub-Site will bring high quality affordable homes for the local area on the site of a derelict boarded-up building and help improve the outlook of the Ornamental/ Orchard Trees street. We believe this is a more positive proposal overall than the previously approved application which used the Pub-Site as a means of main highways Native Trees access into the main development.
