1.0 Introduction

This document will begin by introducing the development site, planning context and proposal for the site.

2.0 Site Assessment

A site analysis for the site has been carried out, taking into consideration the physical, visual and technical constraints present.

3.0 Design Development

This section provides a commentary on the evolution of the design further to a pre-app submission.

4.0 Design Proposal

This section presents the vision and design strategy, as well as the proposal in the form of the illustrative masterplan and parameter plans. This section also explains how the proposal relates to future reserved matters applications.

3 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Introduction

Salisbury is the third-largest settlement in the county, after Swindon and Chippenham, with a population of approximately 40,000. It is the only cathedral city in Wiltshire.

The city is located near the edge of Salisbury Plain and sits at the confluence of five rivers: the Nadder, Ebble, Wylye, and Bourne are tributary to the Hampshire Avon. Salisbury has a railway station that is a regional interchange.

The site sits to the south western edge of Salisbury and is provided with good visibility and surrounded by a range of uses including 4 residential accommodation and other facilities. The site area is 2.99 hectares.

GSPublisherVersion 0.0.100.100 2.0 Site Assessment 2.1 The Site and its Location

The site sits to the south western edge of Salisbury. To the east of the site, residential accommodation in the form of housing and apartments are provided at a range of densities.

The wider site rises to the south. There is a change in level from the site to the ridge line of Harnham Hill of approximately 55 metres. This area to the west and south is subject to a mixed-use allocation in the draft Wiltshire Housing Site Allocation Plan. This is referred to as the 'Bovis Option Land'.

Towards the north of the site beyond the A3094, lies low level farm land. This area is prone to flooding and therefore not suitable for Key (diagram on page 7) residential development. Site Boundary

The site lies to the south of Netherhampton Road, which serves the Flood Zone surrounding residential areas and links to the city centre. Topography

9 2.0 Site Assessment 2.3 Surrounding Character Analysis

The characteristic of the site is typically residential suburban edge of town with a number of other uses including light industrial and retail buildings.

This chapter assesses the residential development immediately to the east of the site. Residential accommodation is typically two and three storeys, with good frontages and relationship to public space. Car parking is 'on-plot', in shared areas with some stand alone and integral garages.

A range of building materials are provided including stone, brick and render. Roofs are typically clay tiles.

Different building volumes, materials and roof types confuse the street scene.

10 2.0 Site Assessment

The play area is faced by buildings on all sides, which allows for positive natural surveillance.

11 2.3 Surrounding Character Analysis

Separation between Netherhampton Road and this residential development is provided with a green space that is overlooked by houses.

12 Corner houses are provided to allow for natural surveillance and active frontage along secondary roads, however, bins, harsh garden boundaries and garages do not provide any activity along the street.

• 0.2 visitor space per dwelling (unallocated).

Wiltshire Council do not include garages as part of the allocated parking provision except where there are overriding design considerations. In these exceptional circumstances, the council

will require design statements and/or transport assessments to demonstrate the need for such provision. Due to the substation 6

location and proximity to the site, special house types have been 2 designed which accommodate a garage on the ground floor of the dwelling. The strategy for these houses allows only non-habitable rooms to be located facing the substation, and block out noise to the rest of the development, therefore, are a crucial part of the design strategy for the site. 8

Refuse Collection

In order to facilitate the effective removal of refuse, the masterplan 6 should take into account guidance from the local authority as to the 1 design and layout of refuse storage and collection facilities. Secure refuse storage should be provided either for individual properties, HALFPENNY or in communal stores where appropriate.

ROAD At reserved matters stage, the masterplan should allow for a refuse vehicle to access the majority of the site, but not necessarily the front of every property. This is because in certain parts of the

Environment: Public open space and green spaces will be provided. Trees and hedgerows will be retained as illustrated in the landscape strategy with appropriate buffer zones, maximising the sustainable use of existing resources. Planting schemes should be in preference for native and/or wildlife attracting species.

Community: Open green areas, play spaces, and shared surface spaces will help to encourage social interaction across the development.

Energy Production and Conservation All residential dwellings will benefit from energy efficient techniques such as reduced U-values via an enhanced fabric specification, efficient gas boilers, enhanced heating controls and an air tight build. The focus on enhanced fabric energy efficiency is an economically prudent strategy that maintains the maximum carbon dioxide savings over the lifetime of the development.

Selection of Materials The selection of construction materials for all of the new buildings will favour those with the lowest environmental impact over their life-cycle. Efforts should be made to source locally available building materials wherever possible.

Solar Access and Daylighting Wherever practicable, windows will be sized to take maximum advantage of natural daylight. This will reduce the heating demand but will also limit the energy demand for electric lighting.
