01 Land West of Astwick Road, Stotfold INTRODUCTION

Introduction Gladman Developments Ltd has successfully invested in communities throughout the UK for over 20 years, developing high quality and sustainable residential, commercial and industrial schemes. A process of public consultation is being undertaken by Gladman Developments Ltd Astwick

East Coast Main Line in order to present the emerging development proposal for the land west River Ivel of Astwick Road, Stotfold to the local community. We are proposing a A1 new residential development of up to 100 homes, including the provision Church of up to 35% affordable housing, on land to the west of Astwick Road, End Stotfold. The purpose of this consultation process is to outline the details of the draft scheme and seek comments from the local community which will

be considered before the outline planning application is lodged with A507 Stotfold Central Bedfordshire Council. Arlesey Site Context Plan Site Description The town of Stotfold lies approximately 1.5km north of Letchworth Garden City within the Central Bedfordshire Council administration area. The site is located on the northern edge of Stotfold. It comprises 5.34 ha of land currently used as arable/grazing land. The site adjoins an existing industrial estate and the residential edge of Stotfold to the east. To the north lies Astwick Road, from which the site access is proposed. Agricultural fields lie beyond the western and southern boundaries of the site. Housing Need Every Council is required by the Government to boost significantly the supply of housing and to make planning decisions in the light of a presumption in favour of sustainable development. Central Bedfordshire Council is required to provide enough housing land to meet its full future Site Location Plan housing needs. Approval of this development will help towards meeting the housing need within the local authority area. N

Why is the site suitable for development?

Historic Maps

The historic Ordnance Survey (OS) mapping shows the growth of Stotfold over the last 132 years. During 1884 to 1887, the primary use of the land was agriculture, with the two settlements of Astwick and Stotfold being the only concentration of dwellings in the area. There was a strong road connection between the two settlements with most of the remaining land comprising arable fields. The village of Astwick was originally wooded but post 1901 to 1902 the vegetation was removed to make way for more development. By 1925 Stotfold had increased slightly in density, but the outlying field pattern remained the same. However by 1960 the settlement density rapidly increased and Stotfold expanded outwards. Small parcels of woodland have been retained around Astwick. By 1986 Stotfold had become a dense settlement, contrasting with neighbouring Astwick which maintained it’s open and rural character. By 2006 the maps show that the small town of Stotfold had expanded out in all directions, although the openess of the surrounding land and road network maintains it’s historic pattern.

Properties along Astwick Road consist of modern, 20th Century brick houses with tiled roofs as well as period brick built properties. The industrial estate that lies along the eastern boundary of the site consists of industrial buildings and sheds. The areas of Stotfold near to the site consist of 20th Century brick built dwellings.

The properties within Stotfold are a mix of detached or semi-detached 20th Century houses as well as period properties. Most houses have front gardens lined with hedges and trees, but houses in higher density areas towards the south of Stotfold have smaller frontages. To the north of the site there are few properties and these are sparsely scattered, with large gardens.

Design Principles: The Development Framework Plan below addresses the identified constraints and opportunities. Areas of green infrastructure wrap around the proposed development area and will provide informal recreational footpaths, public open space, tree planting, a detention basin (SuDS) and new grassland. This will provide a soft green edge to the settlement as recommended by Natural England. It is proposed that the development will be designed to use a selection of locally characteristic building materials and be of a layout and density range that reflects the character of the town.
