Welcome The purpose of this exhibition is to present the Master Plan for proposals at North East , prepared by the developers of the scheme - Taylor Wimpey.

The Development Plan Context Cardiff Local Development Plan Policy KP2 (F) contains a list of The land is allocated in ’s Local Development development requirements for the Strategic Site. Plan (Strategic Site F) for a mixed-use development of a minimum • Rapid transit corridors, bus priority measures and of 4,500 homes, employment and other associated improvements to the frequency and reliability of existing bus uses and supporting infrastructure on land between services Reservoir, the communities of , , and • Supporting safe, attractive and convenient walking and cycling ; the Business Park and the . routes linking to key local services including Llanishen and Thornhill Rail stations • District Centre and Local Centres including Primary Care, The strategic site will be delivered by a number of developers and Community Leisure, and Library facilities as well as a mix of therefore a key objective of the Plan and Policy KP2 (F) is to ensure retail, commercial and employment uses comprehensive development across the site with each area being • 1 new secondary school and 3 new primary schools successfully designed as a connected series of places. • Open space including formal sports pitches, playgrounds and allotments • Utilise existing stream corridors to create landscape corridors

Site Plan

Strategic Site F Boundary Taylor Wimpey Proposals ‘Churchlands’ scheme - 1,000 new homes a primary school and a village centre Our Proposals Taylor Wimpey is developing proposals for up to 2,500 new homes, a primary school, a secondary school, district and local centres together with employment space. Development will be set within a generous landscaped setting, structured around important existing natural features including water courses, woodland and tree groups.

The Council has prepared a Masterplanning Framework to guide Core Development Principles the comprehensive development of the site. The Framework Policy KP2 (F) and the supporting Masterplanning Framework has sets out a masterplanning approach that provides further clarity helped to inform the core principles of our emerging masterplan. on approach to density; creation of character through the built form; vibrant mixed use centres; supporting sustainable transport The core principles of our Vision for the site and emerging choices; integrating new development with neighbouring uses; masterplan are: and enhancing natural features to create connected green spaces. • High quality sustainable design and distinctive character areas; • Successful integration between existing and new communities; The masterplanning requirements are illustrated through a • A complementary mix of retail, employment, leisure and Schematic Framework. The document is intended to act as a education opportunities; starting point for discussions with the Council to help inform development proposals and site masterplans. • A robust, responsive and multi-functional green infrastructure framework that delivers positive landscape amenity to habitats and humans; • A strong community identity, relevant to the local residential and employment context; and • A comprehensive package of public transport improvements and cycle links that support connectivity within the development, to adjacent communities and integrates more widely with links across the city. A series of distinct new communities for North East Our Vision Cardiff, set within a robust landscape framework, and focused around the delivery of high quality and sustainable new homes supported by a range of retail and employment uses and community and education infrastructure.

The illustrative master plan shows how development could be laid out, having regard for the policy requirements in the Cardiff Local Development Plan, the site-specific principles and infrastructure requirements articulated in the Council’s Masterplanning Framework that encourage the area to be designed as a connected series of places and taking into account Redrow’s approved development proposals for Churchlands.

Transportation and access: ensuring there are good linkages through and within the development by all modes including by public transport, cyclists, pedestrians and motorists, taking account of the work being progressed by Cardiff City Council to support the provision of a rapid bus network and super highway cycle links that prioritise and improve sustainable transport links around the City. Connecting homes to the rest of the city is central to supporting more sustainable forms of development and giving transport and travel choices to residents.

Landscape and ecology: an assessment of existing green infrastructure across the site, comprising retention and enhancement of ancient woodland, trees, hedgerows, ponds and watercourses, has informed a robust and well-connected strategy for landscape and areas of formal and informal open space including opportunities for play, leisure and recreation.

Key Design The illustrative master plan has been shaped by a number of ongoing technical studies carried out by Elements the Developer’s Drainage Team.

Surface water and flood attenuation: Flood risk and surface water is managed by avoiding land prone to flooding and ensuring that development proposals include measures to address localised drainage issues through appropriate drainage and attenuation measures. These areas can also provide multi-functional space that will seek to enhance both ecology and biodiversity whilst providing a pleasing environment for future users, including amenity space along the Nant Glandulais Stream network.

Urban design and local character: An understanding of the existing layout and built form characteristics of Lisvane and Pontprennau, and other settlements and farmsteads in the area will inform the design response of the proposed development. Particularly, this will have regard to materials, storey heights, density and streetscape.
