INTRODUCTION 1.1 Preface 1.1.1 Purpose of the report

Purpose of the report The purpose of this document is to provide a clear guide to the delivery of the Site identified within the Greater Norwich Local Plan Draft Site Allocations – Preferred Sites as GNLP0337 Land between Fir Covert Road and Reepham Road, Taverham (the Site). The Site has a draft allocation ‘likely to accommodate at least 1,400 homes, 33% of which will be affordable, associated public open space, new primary school and local medical centre’. All the information within this document is underpinned by technical evidence.

7 1.2 Site context 1.2.1 Location

The site M Scott Properties Ltd are promoting Land at Breck Farm, Taverham on behalf of the landowner through the Greater Norwich Local Plan.

Breck Farm is formed of land between Fir Covert Road and Reepham Road, and extends to c. 78Ha (c. 193 acres). The site is bound by the Broadland Northway to the north, which alongside Fir Covert Road and Reepham Road, provides a strong defensible boundary. This location is highly sustainable whilst impacting on a limited number of existing properties. Marriott’s Way travels north-south Broadland Northway through the centre of the site, with additional footpaths

creating sustainable connections to key facilities. Reepham Road

In order to assess the ability of the site to deliver the objectives of the policy and to enable the preperation of a Marriott’s Way robust masterplan, a substantial amount of technical work has been undertaken. This is covered in more detail in the following sections.

14 SECTION TWO TECHNICAL ANALYSIS The technical design analysis that has been carried out for both the local and site context identifies the primary considerations which determine the proposal for the site.

The primary technical constraints are illustrated and described below:

» Existing farm tracks to be retained leading from the north and north-eastern boundaries to the centre of the site (inclusive of Breck Farm Lane from the south); » Utilities (underground and overground) required to be diverted to release inherent potential of site; » Sensitive approach to inclusion, enhancement and protection of mature trees and associated RPA’s; and » Existing private ownership within central location of site to be retained and sensitively addressed within design proposal.

15 2.3 Connectivity 2.3.1 Pedestrian, cycle and vehicular

The Site is strategically located along a variety of primary routes made up of vehicular, pedestrian, cycle and public transport corridors providing clear and well-defined routes to central Norwich and the Norfolk Coast.

Pedestrian & Cycle The site is well served by strategic pedestrian and cycle routes set at both local and regional scales. Desirable connections can be made north-south along Marriott’s Way, Breck Farm Lane and Fir Covert Road leading to naturalistic countryside and river walks. East-west connections along the Broadland Northway dedicated cycleway allowing for accessible routes towards Cromer and defined woodland trails. Additional connections are available via Felsham Way, Ganners Hill and Kingswood Avenue, providing access to the existing communities and facilities. Marriott’s Way ties the Site within a central focus and allows pedestrians and cyclist’s unprecedented ease of movement to Aylesham and central Norwich, forming part of the wider national cycle route from Fakenham to Harwich.

16 SECTION TWO TECHNICAL ANALYSIS Public Transport The Site is well linked in relation to public transport bus routes, with the 29/x29 routes offering direct services between Fakenham to the north-west and Norwich to the south-east within 30 minutes, creating a desirable location for both commuters and retirement living. Bus stops for each of the two identified bus routes are located within easy reach of the site, with no more than a 10-15-minute walk to either. First Eastern Counties bus service have shown interest in providing a bus route that travels through the development along the central link road, thus creating a greater sustainable development, with the aspiration of offering all residents a bus stop within a 5-minute walk. Contextual Setting Map Local Public Transport

Vehicular Movement The Site is well connected by a variety of hierarchic based routes from the Broadland Northway to Fakenham Road, Reepham Road to Fir Covert Road, all of which offering desirable routes to Norwich (south-east), Cromer (north- east) and King’s Lynn (west) within reasonable journey times. By utilising the Broadland Northway, residents will be able to access Norwich International Airport in under a 10-minute drive with relative ease.

Density To ensure efficient use of the land, the development will aim to achieve a minimum of 25 dwellings per hectare on a net basis. This will be achieved by utilising a mixture of densities, ranging from 22 to 35 dwellings per hectare, contributing to delivering a variety of dwelling types and tenures to promote a mixed community suitable for all members of society.

Housing Mix The indicative housing mix for the development will reflect both the Strategic Housing Market Assessment and the market requirements, ensuring suitable dwellings are built in the correct place at the required time.

The provision of 33% affordable homes will be achievable on Site, with the type and tenure to be discussed with Broadland District Council on each phase to ensure the affordable housing demand is suitably met.

As a result of the urban design analysis, a series of opportunities have been identified that will be capitalised on by the new development at Breck Farm:

» Define and locate a central ‘local centre’ offering a hub of activity for both new and existing communities set along Marriott’s Way; » Maximise both aspect and permeability to Marriott’s Way; » Stitch the development to existing surrounding context assets such as Thorpe Marriott Greenway and existing cycle routes along Broadland Northway; » Define a central ‘link road’ (east-west) as a singular well-defined street to aid wayfinding and legibility; and » Retention and enhancement to existing wildlife and ecology to generate biodiversity enrichment.

SUMMARY 5.1 Delivery statement 5.1.1 Summary

Breck Farm provides an excellent opportunity to deliver a high-quality development that could deliver much needed market and affordable housing across a range of types and tenures, alongside a comprehensive suite of amenities including care, health, education and commercial uses and large areas of functional public open space.

This document demonstrates that there are no constraints to the delivery of the Site and its ability to contribute towards the identified need in the short and medium term. The proposed development constitutes a natural extension to the village of Taverham, being bounded entirely by existing infrastructure.

Breck Farm can deliver tangible outputs against policy aspirations, whilst also responding positively to the proposed consultation with the GNLP team, Broadland District Council, Taverham Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group and the local community. The Landowners and Promoter are able to offer flexibility in how the development is delivered, with the ability to respond to existing and emerging local needs from the outset and through the life of the development.
