Redevelopment of Testwood Social Club MH Architects REDEVELOPMENT OF TESTWOOD SOCIAL CLUB, TOTTON PRE APPLICATION CONSULTATION 2.0 STRATEGIC POSITION At a wide scale the site lies on the south coast of England between Southampton and The New Forest National Park, with good connections to the A36, A31 and M27 Motorway, as well as A roads leading to Southampton, Salisbury and Bournemouth. Totton railway station is situated to the south of the site with an approximately 5-10mins walk from the site. This line connects to the east & west line along the south coast with good and direct connections from Southampton to London. The New Forest National Park is situated between west Southampton and Christchurch. The Forest is a 10 minute journey by bus, car and train. All the amenities of Southampton are of a similar time journey away. Redevelopment of Testwood Social Club MH Architects REDEVELOPMENT OF TESTWOOD SOCIAL CLUB, TOTTON PRE APPLICATION CONSULTATION 3.0 LOCATION WITHIN THE DISTRICT The site is situated on the eastern side of Totton, close to the centre, in a well established residential area. Testwood recreation ground and sub- urban residential housing surround its immediate location. The site is located on the A36, connecting to the A31, A336 and close to the M27. 0.3 miles away form the site to the west is a green belt of wild marsh land and the River Test which separates the built up area of West Southampton. Image courtesy of Google Earth Redevelopment of Testwood Social Club MH Architects REDEVELOPMENT OF TESTWOOD SOCIAL CLUB, TOTTON PRE APPLICATION CONSULTATION 4.0 SITE CONTEXT The site is an irregular parcel of land HAMTUN CRESCENT bounded to the north east by one storey residential bungalows; to the south east by Testwood Lane; to the south west by Salisbury Road and to the north west by one storey TESTWOOD RECREATION residential bungalows. GROUND The site sits within the eastern side of Totton within an established residential area. The existing two storey building is intended to be demolished to facilitate the new proposals. The site is relatively flat and has good existing vehicular access points from the road. There are bus stops directly outside the site on Salisbury Road with routes north and south.

As part of our initial work we carried out a photographic view analysis of 6 where the site could be seen from. And how it is approached. 4 The views track a route from the south east of Salisbury Road and into surrounding residential streets. This exercise will be used throughout the 5 design development process to help refine any design proposals. 3 2 1 Image courtesy of Google Earth Redevelopment of Testwood Social Club MH Architects REDEVELOPMENT OF TESTWOOD SOCIAL CLUB, TOTTON PRE APPLICATION CONSULTATION 5.0 VIEW ANALYSIS 1 2 3 4 6 5 6 Images courtesy of Google Earth Redevelopment of Testwood Social Club MH Architects REDEVELOPMENT OF TESTWOOD SOCIAL CLUB, TOTTON PRE APPLICATION CONSULTATION 6.0 SCALE OF THE SURROUNDINGS This building storey height study shows the surrounding building heights in the existing Testwood Social Club’s locality. The site has part two storey, plus roof, located towards the front of the site and is a clear step up from the bungalows to the north east and west. Given the void in the street scene that is created by the car park at the front the current two storey is set back some way from the building line. As a corner site we think this land offers the potential to go higher than two storey while respecting the overall building height existing on the corner and respecting the scale of the neighbouring bungalows.

These include: Constraints • Building heights to respect the neighbouring bungalows. • Neighbouring property in proximity to NE & NW boundary. • Maintain views to Salisbury Road & Testwood Lane. • Maintain privacy to neighbouring property. Opportunities • Key focal point as junction to Salisbury Road and Testwood Lane. • Good public transport links. • Located close to centre for shops / travel and other amenities. • Located near existing residential properties. • Scale steps up at corner at the moment, similar approach could be utilised. Redevelopment of Testwood Social Club MH Architects REDEVELOPMENT OF TESTWOOD SOCIAL CLUB, TOTTON PRE APPLICATION CONSULTATION 8.0 FEASIBILITY STUDY Layout The layout of the scheme has been driven by the analysis of the site and the surrounding context. The proposal provides a strong street frontage onto Salisbury Road and Testwood Lane, with well defined legible entrances. Windows will be positioned to allow privacy to residents but also provide good levels of natural surveillance. Behind this frontage the design responds to neighbouring buildings to the north east and north west by providing good separation and no overlooking windows. All flats have been orientated to allow for good levels of natural light and allow windows in multiple directions. In terms of amenity space, each flat has a private balcony, or if on ground floor a patio. Cycle and Refuse storage are provided in outside stores, with access to the roadside for collections.

  • Compliance with Condition 4 of South Western
    Friars Bridge Court South Western 41-45 Blackfriars Road London ~ Railway SE18NZ John Larkinson Director Directorate of Railway Markets & Economics Office of Rail and Road One Kemble Street. London WC2B 4AN 26 January 2018 Dear Mr Larklnson Compliance with condition 4 of SWR's Passenger Licence and GB Statement of National Regulatory Provisions: Passenger Customer Information Initiatives I am writing in response to your letter of 23 January 2018 following the meeting with your colleagues on 18 January 2018. Commitment to Customer Information Provision South Western Railway (SWR) takes its customer service and specific licencing obligations extremely seriously and we are committed to provide our customers with the best available information about service availability as soon as we are able to do so. As I said in my correspondence before Christmas and in the recent meeting. SWR is not content with the level and timing of information it has been able to provide to its customers relating to services affected by Network Rail engineering work (principally at weekends). We are focussed on urgently improving this matter which is receiving a high level of priority within SWR and will continue to do so until we are consistently able to provide timely and accurate information. In the medium term this involves addressing the underlying issues of the availability of reliable timetable information where engineering works are planned which. as you recognise in your letter. depends to a substantial degree on working with Network Rail to address industry issues about timely production of timetabling information. We are doing so proactively and I have put further details below on our progress with that.
