A GARDEN VILLAGE FOR SWALE

LORD MATTHEW TAYLOR (HON MRTPI)

Visiting Professor of Planning, Plymouth University

When I proposed the Garden Village programme to Government, the number one objective was to give councils the opportunity to deliver the homes people need in well planned, attractive new garden communities of the highest quality, instead of endless bland housing estates ruining the edge of historic towns. That means delivering great places to live and work, with all the facilities people need from parks and gardens to shops, cafes, schools Lord Taylor of Goss Moor has and employment. In short, creating new 21st century communities with all the best qualities of advised successive governments on planning policy, conducting traditional English market towns and villages. the 2008 ‘Living Working Countryside’ planning review and the 2011 creation of the I have been commissioned to help ensure that the proposals for a Garden Community south of Governments national Planning Faversham achieve all these aims and more. By working with the Council, the intention is to create Practice Guidance suite. He authored the Policy Exchange a long term partnership to design and deliver the best possible community, of the highest quality. report proposing the Garden The commitment is to meet all the objectives of the Government’s Garden Village and Towns Village programme. Gladman have engaged Lord Taylor on programme, and more importantly meet the needs of the people living and working in Swale, this Garden Village project in an especially the next generation currently priced out of homes. This prospectus outlines the proposed independent advisory capacity to help us and the Council ensure approach and the opportunity presented by the well-connected site, but is the start of a process our proposals are of the highest possible quality. that is all about working with the community and the council to meet these local needs.

I am excited by the opportunity, and look forward to helping the council and the promoters of this scheme to achieve the best possible outcome – a truly sustainable, 21st century garden community people will be proud and delighted to live in.

Each project and location has its own specific context which means the Garden City principles are not a blueprint for designing new garden villages, but there are key characteristics that make garden villages successful. The Government published their paper “Locally-Led Garden Villages, Towns and Cities” in March 2016, setting out the criteria to be considered for government support as follows:

Size: Viability and deliverability: between 1,500 and 10,000 dwellings; demonstrate how new infrastructure will be delivered, demonstrating a credible route to delivering Free Standing Settlement: quality places without additional public subsidy; discrete settlement, and not an extension of any existing town or village; Additional or accelerated delivery: strong prospect of quantified early and accelerated Local Authority Led: delivery of housing for a genuine addition to housing should support wider housing supply; and growth ambitions; Starter Homes: Local leadership and community support: high quality starter homes to be offered at least a strong local commitment to delivery, engage local 20% discount for first time buyers to have a place communities from an early stage to ensure local within well-designed new communities; support; Support for small and medium enterprise Quality and design: house builders: use good design to create sustainable places where opportunities to promote a range of house builders; people want to live and be a part of the community; Innovation: Public sector and brownfield land: incorporating innovating forms of delivery such as effective use of previously developed and/or public- off-site construction, self-build, customer build and sector land; commissioning approach; and

The preliminary work undertaken to date notes the following;

STOP • As the M2 motorway crosses theBUS A251 at Junction 6 (M2J6), immediately adjacent to the development site, it offers the opportunity to provide direct access to the strategic M2 JUNCTION 6

STOP road network from the settlement.BUS Nursery • Traffic movements to / from Faversham and traffic accessing both the M2 and A2

corridors have to pass through M2J6. 2

127 • The current motorway junction operates125 satisfactorily, and no significant constraints have been identified by Kent County Council or Highways England at M2J6 within the

evidence base prepared to support the current Local Plan. 126 LB

• As the garden village community grows, the increased traffic demands could be TCB 130 accommodated by the signalisation of the existing M2J6 – a scheme NCTION that could 141

deliver significant additional capacity to the junction. SALTERS

• The need for any further major improvements to the junction to cater for later phases 128

RAFFIC OF T ADDRESSING THE CONSTRAINTS W ROAD LO E F H T PROPOSED NEW ROAD STRUCTURE G IN S Similar to the M2 junction, we acknowledge the potential concerns of Kent Highways in

A 148 relation to the access point(s) on to the A251 Ashford Road, and its general functionality, E R safety and capacity. The preliminary works undertaken note the following; E D U • The site’s proximity to the M2, A251 and A2 corridors will allow vehicular traffic to quickly access the strategic C and local highway networks, ensuring that increased vehicle demands are directed to those areas of the I N network designed to cater for longer-distance trips, minimising the need for development trips to use the G existing local road network.

• The existing A251 Ashford Road runs north-south through the centre of the site, noted as a single carriageway R

link, with a footway along the eastern side only, bordered by dwellings and farm buildings intermittently along A its length. V

E • The development offers the opportunity to create an alternative high-quality spine road through the site, L

connecting into the existing A251 to the north and south of the site.

• This spine road will connect into a proposed roundabout to the north of the site, serving both sides of the I development, crossing the existing A251 through the centre of the site, and re-join the existing A251 at the M

southern end of the development site. E • The new link would provide the primary access for all traffic movements associated with the new community. Access to existing dwellings alongside the current route would be provided via retained sections of the existing Ashford Road and through-traffic movements would be diverted onto the new spine road, allowing the existing route to be down-graded. • The scale of the proposed spine road will be designed to accommodate the forecasted traffic levels and to reflect the character and nature of adjacent uses within the garden village. Networks of primary and secondary routes will be delivered across the settlement, with smaller-scale streets and private drives provided within individual residential parcels. A legible framework of streets will be created within the village to assist wayfinding and to ensure traffic is directed to the most appropriate routes through the settlement.

21 THE IMPORTANCE OF SUSTAINABILITY

BEYOND THE GARDEN VILLAGE CONCEPT, THERE IS SCOPE TO ADOPT A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE VILLAGE ITSELF.

From water conservation to local food production, and energy efficient buildings to play space, we envisage garden villages as places to live active and healthy lives in a manner that limits the impacts on the environment. The sustainable development approach is working towards an environmentally net positive position. By evaluating the opportunity and technology to reduce energy, waste, water consumption and carbon emissions throughout the development of the garden village and beyond. Such opportunities include but are not limited to:

22 • The delivery of on-site multifunctional • Provision of Community Orchards/ green space and the creation of a Allotments provides the opportunity high-quality landscape framework to create sustainable food production which has the potential to safeguard and is in keeping with the existing ecosystem services, enhance wildlife orchards and food production already habitat creation, and diversify the established throughout Swale; range of on-site habitats - resulting • Consideration of renewable energy in net-biodiversity gains; technologies to maximise the use of • Provision of Sustainable Urban natural light and solar orientation (such Drainage System (SuDS) and as Photovoltaic (PV) panels, Solar Strategic water attenuation to control panels) as well as heating water around water run-off, whilst having the added homes by using technology such as benefits of supporting new habitats Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP); and ecosystems; • The provision of fibre optic cables • Use of green corridors, public footpath across the garden village for both and cycle networks throughout the residential properties and the scheme will help to maintain a sense mixed uses – improving the internet of rural context, and provide increased connection links, opportunities for connectivity across the village to flexible working patterns and helping schools, village centres, and open to reduce commuter journeys; spaces including the existing Public • The use of rainwater harvesting (both Rights of Way. This will also assist in greywater and rainwater) has the reducing car dependency; potential and scalability to reduce the overall potable water demand by residents, businesses and schools. This could be directly recycled in to the distribution system to provide a sustainable source of water for the villages’ allotments, orchards and public open spaces.
