Amber Infrastructure Ltd Proposed Care Home at Land adjoining Holywell House, Patterdown Transport Statement

1 Introduction

1.1 Cotswold Transport Planning Ltd has been instructed by Amber Infrastructure Ltd to prepare a Transport Statement (TS) to analyse the potential traffic and highway impacts of an outline planning application that seeks to develop a 74-bed residential care home on land at Showell Farm, Chippenham (adjacent to Holywell House).

1.2 Proposals look to provide a mix of 37 nursing/close care beds and 37 general care beds with associated catering, treatment, recreational and ancillary facilities.

1.3 Pre-application discussions and scoping have taken place with Wiltshire Council as the local planning and highway authority. Key issues that need to be addressed/reviewed within this Transport Statement have been given as: i) The access arrangements would need to conform to appropriate standards in terms of geometry and visibility. ii) Details of transport and pedestrian facilities that would be available to support a sustainable development. iii) There would be a need to provide appropriate pedestrian crossing facilities from the site in order to gain access to facilities at other developments in the surrounding area at Rowden Park and Hunters Moon. iv) Details of parking for staff, or for the servicing needs of the site need to be provided and justified.

1.4 A copy of the scoping correspondence with Wiltshire Council is provided in Appendix A.

1.5 A Full Travel Plan looking to reduce the reliance on private car usage will be produced and submitted as a separate document at an appropriate stage of the application.

2 The Site and Adjacent Highway Network

Site Location and Composition

2.1 The site access will be achieved from the B4528, adjacent to the access to Holywell House and within a layby area.

2.2 The site is located to the west of the B4528 approximately 2.5km south west of Chippenham town centre. The B4528 is subject to the national speed limit in the vicinity of the site and forms two-arms of a signal-controlled junction with the B3634 approximately 100 metres north of the northern site boundary. The site currently comprises undeveloped land and as such has no material trip generating capability.

2.3 The B4528 is one of the main access roads to the town centre from the A350, about 5 minutes drive away. It also provides connections to other major towns including Bath, Trowbridge, Warminster and Marlborough.

2.4 The development site is shown in relation to the local area and highway network is shown by the star on the site location plan on Figure 1.

Local Highway Safety

2.5 Personal Injury Accident (PIA) data has been obtained from Wiltshire Council for the most recent five-year period available to the end of December 2017. The raw data is included as Appendix B.

2.6 The search area included the B4528 in the vicinity of the site including its junction with Saltersford Lane.

2.7 The PIA data has been analysed showing that two PIA’s have occurred in the most recently available five-year period.

2.8 The first PIA occurred at 08.11am on 13th November 2015 in fine, daylight conditions where the road surface was dry. The incident involved a police car on an emergency response call proceeding through a red traffic light and turned left under the railway bridge and collided head on with an oncoming car who was proceeding on a green light. The driver of the second car sustained slight injuries.

2.9 The final PIA occurred at 16.20pm on 6th July 2016 outside Holywell House when a car travelling north west on the B4634 was weaving all over the road and failed to negotiate a right hand bend and left the carriageway colliding with a nearside stone wall. The driver sustained slight injuries.

2.10 Cotswold Transport Planning’s assessment is that the recorded personal injury accidents which occurred in the vicinity of the development site are generally random and suggest driver error rather than any definable trends or patterns which suggest an existing highway safety problem associated with its geometry.

2.11 As such the redevelopment proposal cannot be considered to have a severe impact on local highway safety.

3 Site Accessibility

3.1 In order to ensure that the proposed residential development can operate sustainably in terms of minimising the overall level of daily vehicular trips from the site, particularly single-occupancy vehicle trips, it is essential to identify what local services and amenities are located in close proximity of the site, and also what alternative sustainable travel opportunities are present to enable future residents to choose to travel by non-car modes.

3.2 It is also necessary to establish the likely potential demand for public transport, walking and cycling trips by those who are likely to reside, work at the care home or visit regularly, particularly as residents will have different travel needs and capabilities according to the level of care they require.

Proximity to Local Services and Amenities

3.3 Crest Nicolson (Rowden Park Garden Village) have secured an Outline Consent (March 2017) for an urban extension comprising 1,000 Homes, Primary School, Local Centre (A1-A5) and Public Open Space to create a 21st Century Garden Village to the north and north east of the proposal site. This includes provision for new bus routes, junction improvements, pedestrian and cycle links to the town centre.

3.4 Crest Nicolson (Showell Farm Employment Site) have secured outline consent for employment use to the south of the site (March 2017).

3.5 Bloor Homes (Hunters Moon) have been granted Full planning (all matters reserved except for access) for a mixed-use scheme comprising (west of the site, on other side of the railway): 450 homes 120 affordable homes 11.77 ha of open space 2.4 ha of employment land and associated infrastructure improvements (December 2017). This includes provision for new bus services, pedestrian and cycle routes. The location of adjacent planning application sites is illustrated in Appendix C.

3.6 The care home proposal provides on-site facilities including a central cafe lounge at the GF entrance offering access to hairdressing, therapy and treatment rooms. There is provision for laundry/linen to be washed and the home will benefit from attractive and secure garden/recreational space.

Walking and Cycling

3.7 Between the proposed site access and the nearest settlement, Patterdown, on the edge of Chippenham approximately 800m away, there are no footways or street lighting system, due to the relative absence of frontage premises. The national 60 mph speed limit applies. At Patterdown the speed limit reduces to 40 mph, footways commence on at least one side of the road and street lighting is provided. At Rowden, on the other side of Patterdown, the speed limit reduces again, to 30 mph and the road adopts a more urban character as it approaches the edge of the town centre.

3.8 National Cycle Route 403 crosses the North Wessex Downs and Savernake Forest, linking Chippenham to Marlborough and the Kennet & Avon Canal, passing close to the proposal site (Figure 2).

Figure 2- National Cycle Route

3.9 Currently the B4528 between the proposal site and the town centre has the typical characteristics of a rural lane, with few pedestrian or cycling facilities, but this is set to change as a result of the permitted major residential and other development schemes along its length.

Public Transport Accessibility

3.10 There are no bus stops near the site as there is no significant development nearby. However bus service X34 passes close by, which currently operates between Chippenham running half-hourly services during the weekdays from early morning to evening and hourly services on Saturdays (Figure 3). A new stop serving the site would be viable.

Figure 3 - Local Bus Routes

3.11 Given the significant level of development already approved, and taking into account further planned development, there will be demand for additional public transport services within the wider area. This has been addressed in the permitted planning applications in the vicinity, which include new bus stops and provision for additional routes.

3.12 Chippenham railway station is on the Great Western Main Line (GWML), 93 miles down- line from London Paddington and is situated between Swindon and Bath Spa on the GWML. The Wessex Main Line diverges from the GWML to the southwest of Chippenham and runs to Trowbridge via Melksham. It is managed by Great Western Railway, which also operates all the trains.

Cotswold Transport Planning Ltd Page 6

Amber Infrastructure Ltd Proposed Care Home at Land adjoining Holywell House, Patterdown Transport Statement

3.13 The station has frequent eastbound services to London Paddington; and westbound services to Bristol, Bath, Devon, Taunton, and South Wales. Currently, these trains run every half an hour in both directions and extensions to stations further afield westbound are made regularly.

3.14 The "TransWilts" line from Swindon via Chippenham to Melksham, Trowbridge and Westbury has trains every two hours each way on weekdays and six each way on Sundays. Two southbound weekday trains continue through to Southampton Central, and two in the other direction to Cheltenham Spa. Chippenham station connects to the Wessex Main Line via Melksham.

Summary

3.15 As Plate 1 shows, the site is located at the edge of the built form of Chippenham. There are currently few public transport, walking or cycling facilities. This is going to change as a result of significant infrastructure improvements which will form part of major development schemes on adjacent sites along the road.

3.16 It must be acknowledged that the proposed residents of the care home will not generally be able to travel independently by bus, cycle or on foot and there are plans to provide communal transport for them. Approximately half of future residents will require close care of varying degrees and their ability to travel at all will be very restricted.

4 Development Proposals

4.1 Planning permission is sought for the development of a 74-bed residential care home, envisaged at this stage to be made up of a mixture of 37 close care/nursing units and 37 general care units.

4.2 Outline permission is sought with all matters reserved except for access. A preliminary access drawing has been designed and an indicative site layout plan is provided to demonstrate that adequate parking, traffic circulation and service/delivery facilities can be provided within the site confines. These are included as Appendix D.

Site Access

Access Junction from B4528

4.3 A new access is proposed to be provided at the north eastern corner of the site with the B4528 in the form of a simple priority junction. The existing layby area will be closed.

4.4 The B4528 adjoins the eastern boundary of the application site and is subject to a 50mph speed limit in the vicinity of the site.

4.5 The applicant appointed 360TSL, an independent traffic surveyor, to undertake a radar gun speed survey to determine the 85th percentile traffic speeds along the B4528 approximately 30 metres southeast of the proposed site access. The survey was undertaken on Thursday 12th October 2017 during free flow conditions, between the hours of 09:30 – 12:00 and 13:00 – 15:30 during dry weather conditions.

4.6 A copy of the traffic survey data is included in Appendix E and demonstrated 85th%ile speeds of 37 mph in each direction.

4.7 This indicates that the appropriate junction visibility splay ‘y’ distance in accordance with Manual for Streets is 56m, with commensurate forward visibility splays of 59m. The assessment of the required visibility splays has been based on the 85th percentile speeds, taken across the two survey periods, in order to provide a robust assessment. A standard 2.4m ‘x’ distance has been applied.

4.8 A 10m junction radii has been provided, given the rural nature of the B4528. A 5.5m carriageway has been provided, together with 2m footways on each side of the access road. It is envisaged that the footways will link to existing footways and connections provided to adjoining residential development where possible.

Internal Arrangement

4.9 As an outline application the indicative site layout is currently in sketch format.

4.10 To ensure the site can be adequately serviced by refuse and emergency vehicles swept- path analysis will be provided in any forthcoming reserved matters applications, ensuring relevant guidance is adhered to.

Parking

4.11 Layout is a reserved matter although car parking within the development is proposed at this stage to be provided in accordance with Wiltshire Council’s published standards; 1 per 4 beds + 1 per 2 members of staff. Thirty spaces are proposed.

5 Forecast Trip Generation

5.1 It is generally accepted that the critical periods in terms of traffic impact on the adjacent highway network are the weekday morning and evening peak hours, when traffic flows are at their greatest.

5.2 The busiest periods of site traffic activity will not coincide with the highway peak flows, so these have also been analysed to allow a robust assessment.

Forecast Trip Generation

TRICS Database

5.3 To assess trip generation associated with the proposed development, average multimodal trip rates have been derived from the TRICS database.

5.4 Available TRICS sites were then filtered to provide a comparable assessment to that proposed based on the following selection criteria: • Sites excluding Greater London to reflect lower level of public transport accessibility • Developments of a comparable size • Weekday surveys, where impact of the proposed development would be greatest • Sites located in edge of town and suburban locations • Population density similar to the site. • Only sites without Travel Plans included, to allow a robust analysis.

5.5 A summary of resulting trip rates and predicted traffic generation in relation to the development proposals is set out in Table 5.1, with a copy of the associated TRICS output provided in Appendix F.

Table 5.1: Proposed Trip Rates and Predicted Trip Generation

5.6 Table 5.1 indicates that the proposed development is expected to create an additional 9 vehicle trips during the weekday AM peak period and 12 during the PM peak. This equates to approximately one new vehicle trip per 5 minutes during the peak hours. The peak site activity period is in the middle of the afternoon, due to shift patterns, and this is expected to create an additional 20 vehicle trips.

5.7 Information has been provided by the applicants planning consultant concerning maximum staffing levels, which includes details relating to travel patterns. They have calculated the staff requirement as summarised in Table 5.2.

5.8 In total, at this stage it is envisaged that the proposed care home will employ 45 full time staff and 50 part time of various hours.

5.9 It must be noted that the illustrated staff levels are the not the same as shift patterns; the staff will not all start and finish at the times shown but will arrive and leave at various times during the day and night. However the data does further demonstrate that trip rates will be low.

Travel Plan Measures

5.10 A Residential Travel Plan will be produced and submitted as a separate document once the end occupier is known. This will introduce measures in order to reduce single occupancy private car usage whilst increasing awareness and availability of more sustainable modes of travel. This in turn would be expected to reduce the overall vehicular trips generated by the proposed development although for the purpose of this assessment no reduction has been applied in order to provide a robust assessment.

5.11 It is noted that the scheme includes some facilities which will reduce the need to travel, particularly the on-site laundry facility, cafe and the treatment rooms.

5.12 Measures which the scheme will provide include: -

• Liaison with local doctor’s surgery to provide on-site facility for doctors to visit, with multiple routine appointments scheduled to reduce multiple trips,

• Prescription collection service with local pharmacy,

• On-site waste compaction and/or recycling to cut down on bulk and number of waste disposal trips,

• Adverts for staff to be placed locally only to attract people within shorter travel distances,

• Service and delivery contracts and orders to be placed with local companies to reduce travel distances, and in reality enable quicker response times,

• Centralised ordering system to coordinate delivery of goods and consolidate delivery trips,

• Mini-bus or similar to shuttle residents on local trips, and perhaps to collect or drop off staff,

• Visiting hours to be set outside of peak highway periods,

• Staff shift patterns set to avoid highway peak hours,

• Arrangements with visiting service providers, such as hair-dressers, to provide facilities for multiple-appointments on-site.

6 Traffic Impact Assessment

6.1 It is evident that the predicted traffic flows will have an indiscernible impact on the peak hour of operation of the local highway network due to the characteristically low vehicle flows generated by a care home. The trip forecasts in Chapter 5 confirm that there will be around one additional vehicle trip arising from the development every five minutes in the weekday network peak hours.

Non-Vehicle Trips

6.2 In relation to additional non-car trips generated by the proposed development, namely trips undertaken via walking, cycling and public transport, the local highway authority have indicated that a pedestrian crossing facility would be expected to be provided at a convenient location to connect the care home to the opposite side of the road and it is accepted that a contribution towards this would be reasonable and can be imposed by condition. It is proposed to coordinate the design and exact location with developments on adjacent sites at an appropriate point in the future.

Site Access Priority Junction

6.3 It is evident that the very low traffic flows generated by the proposal will not have material impact upon the safety or operation of the local highway network.

7 Summary & Conclusions

7.1 Cotswold Transport Planning Ltd has been instructed by Amber Infrastructure Ltd to prepare a Transport Statement (TS) to analyse the potential traffic and highway impacts of a planning application that seeks to develop a 74-bed residential care home on land at Showell Farm, Chippenham.

7.2 The Transport Assessment has demonstrated the following: • The proposal will generate a very low volume of vehicle trips, which will have an indiscernible impact compared to current traffic flows and those generated by forthcoming development schemes. • A review of the local highway network and collision data in the vicinity of the site indicates that there are no apparent problems in relation to the current operation or safety of the local highways. • The site is located on the edge of Chippenham. In terms of sustainable transport, significant planned and permitted development of adjacent sites will provide significant improvements to transport links and infrastructure. However, the nature of the proposed development is such that the residents will, in the main, be unable to travel independently or use public transport or walk very far or cycle. • Travel planning measures have been included in the in the proposed design, and this will contribute to a reduction in vehicle trips generated by the proposal. • Proposed parking provision onsite is envisaged to be in line with Wiltshire Council guidance to negate any adverse impact upon the local highway network. • The proposed site access priority junction will operate well within capacity for all scenarios, hence proposals do not adversely affect the safety or operation of the local highways. • The proposal includes travel planning/management initiatives to reduce the volume of motor vehicle trips associated with the development.

7.3 To summarise, it can be concluded that the proposed development is unlikely to have any material impact upon the safety or operation of the surrounding local highway network. Consequently, it is considered that there are no significant highways and transportation matters that would preclude the Local Planning Authority from approving this planning application.

Application No: 17/10393/PREAPP Proposal: Proposed Nursing and Dementia Care Home and 29 assisted living units (C2). Site Address: Land at, Showell, Chippenham, On Behalf of: John Sneddon

Dear Sir/Madam

Thank you for your application, registered on 17/11/2017. In response to your enquiry I hope that you will find the following information helpful.

Please note that this advice represents officers' informal opinion based upon the information you have provided. It is given without prejudice to any decision the Council may make on any subsequent formal planning application. A planning application will be the subject of publicity and consultation in accordance with the Council's procedures. These and other matters which may subsequently come to light, may result in additional issues being raised that are pertinent to the determination of the application.

Site Description/Constraints:

The enquiry relates to greenfield land at Patterdown, on the southern side of Chippenham, totalling a little over 1ha of gently sloping pasture/paddock adjacent to the highway and bordering open fields on two sides and a domestic/B&B plot on the other. The site is located in undesignated open countryside well beyond the saved development framework boundary of Chippenham. It is however directly adjacent to an allocated general industrial employment site, a short distance East of the Hunters Moon mixed use site and opposite the Showell urban extension site – which includes an element of extra care accommodation as well as education and district centre provision – all of which are expected to come forward for development in the near future.

The proposal briefly comprises the use of the whole plot to provide extra care accommodation falling within Class C2 and comprising a mixture of a serviced care home together with several semi-independent units, with a view to providing continuity of support to residents as their needs change over time. Indicatively, the main block is shown at the rear of the site, comprising of three storeys accommodating 90no. serviced rooms together with communal areas and all in-house services. Allocated parking and communal courtyard gardens would be provided, whilst the remainder of the site would be landscaped to accommodate 29no. assisted living flats set over a mixture of one and two storeys and offering a greater degree of independence, with a correspondingly higher level of parking provision and semi-private amenity space. The site would be accessed via the existing field entrance at the northeast corner, adjacent to which there is a sizeable lay-by.

Relevant Planning History:

The most relevant planning history is that pertaining to the nearby employment and urban extension sites at Showell Farm:

Relevant Planning Policies:

The following policies of the adopted Wiltshire Core Strategy are relevant:

Core Policy 1 (Settlement strategy) Core Policy 2 (Delivery strategy) Core Policy 41 (Sustainable construction and low carbon energy) Core Policy 46 (Meeting the needs of Wiltshire’s vulnerable and older people) Core Policy 50 (Biodiversity and geodiversity) Core Policy 51 (Landscape) Core Policy 57 (Ensuring high quality design and place shaping) Core Policy 58 (Ensuring the conservation of the historic environment) Core Policy 60 (Sustainable transport) Core Policy 61 (Transport and development) Core Policy 64 (Demand management) Core Policy 67 (Flood risk)

The following saved policies of the North Wiltshire Local Plan are relevant: NE14 (Trees, site features and the control of new development) NE18 (Noise and pollution)

Sections 4 (Promoting sustainable transport), 7 (Requiring good design), 8 (Promoting healthy communities) and 11 (Conserving and enhancing the natural environment) of the National Planning Policy Framework are also relevant.

Planning Considerations:

 Principle of development  Impact on the scale and character of the site  Impact on the context and character of the surrounding area  Impact on resident and neighbour amenity  Parking/highways  Ecology  Heritage and archaeology

The site is located some distance outside of the saved development framework boundary for Chippenham and without prejudice to any future review of this boundary and/or building out of committed sites nearby/adjacent, the proposals must be considered in this context at the present time. Given the implicit conflict with Core Policy 2 in particular, therefore, the principle of development therefore rests on the exceptional circumstances for which provision is made in Core Policy 46, allowing for the delivery of care accommodation outside of identified settlements in certain conditions.

Interpretation of Core Policy 46

The relevant excerpt of CP46 is reproduced below for ease of reference:

“In exceptional circumstances, the provision of specialist accommodation outside but adjacent to the Principal Settlements and Market Towns will be considered, provided that: viii. a genuine, and evidenced, need is justified ix. environmental and landscape considerations will not be compromised x. facilities and services are accessible from the site xi. its scale and type is appropriate to the nature of the settlement and will respect the character and setting of that settlement.”

It is probable that the site will be adjacent to Chippenham at some point in the future, and in practice this will greatly enhance the site’s sustainability credentials. This being the case, however, it is suggested in the first instance that the current proposals are premature, and would be better promoted as the relevant facilities and infrastructure come to fruition and the relationship of the site to these can be considered fully. For the time being, whether the site is ‘adjacent to the Principal Settlement’ is doubtful, representing a conflict with this policy.

Looking ahead, however, and turning to the criteria that follow, advice would be as below: viii. a genuine, and evidenced, need is justified

This would be read as ‘a genuine need – i.e. an outstanding local demand not currently met or scheduled to be met by other such facilities in the locality, including a demonstrable need for the facility to be provided in the proposed location rather than preferable sites (e.g. brownfield land, town centre alternatives). Therefore, this exercise must look at the ‘supply’ end of the equation and not just the ‘demand’. Tying this to the point above on prematurity, it is also considered essential in assessing supply that this takes into account the identified provision of 60+ units of extra care accommodation within the aforementioned Showell Farm scheme. As discussed on site, information should cover the specific care needs and personal choices of the target demographic, as models reliant solely on such basic assumptions as ‘the population is ageing in general’ are unable to stand up to proper scrutiny (please note, I do not suggest even the preliminary evidence submitted to date is so simplistic). ix. environmental and landscape considerations will not be compromised

This relates to a broad range of factors including but not limited to visual appearance in the landscape, ecology, air quality, light pollution and hydrology; there may be other relevant factors, depending on site circumstances, although the word ‘environmental’ in this context is taken to mean the natural environment. Taking into account the assumption that the neighbouring employment land in particular will come forward for development, it is considered that these considerations can be adequately covered in response to other policies as set out above. x. facilities and services are accessible from the site

This point goes back to the earlier commentary on the Showell expansion, the delivery of local facilities therein being considered fundamental to the accessibility of suitable services and facilities. Should that scheme come forward as currently scheduled, it is considered this criterion would be met. xi. its scale and type is appropriate to the nature of the settlement and will respect the character and setting of that settlement.

Subject to satisfying the other criteria, it is not considered that this final criterion should otherwise give rise to conflict with the development plan. Chippenham is a principal settlement with a large population and good transport, employment and service offer, in relation to which the proposed quantum of development – if properly justified – is not considered disproportionate or uncharacteristic.

In summary, the primary concerns in respect of CP46 at the present time comprise the need for comprehensive justification for the provision of such accommodation in this location and their current remoteness from active, useable, services and facilities. The latter links to a conflict at a more fundamental level owing to the use of the word ‘adjacent’.

The proposal represents a major-scale development of up to three-storey buildings together with access and landscaping works to cover the full site area. Taken in context with the dwelling adjacent, proximity to the railway line and forthcoming development to the West and South, which will enclose the site, it is not considered that the proposed development would impact unduly on the wider landscape, whilst the judgements originally informing the grant of outline permission adjacent remain relevant. Nonetheless a comprehensive Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (LVIA) will be required in order to understand the specific characteristics of the site and the impacts of the development – including the visual impacts of any necessary noise-mitigating landscaping. This would also identify any susceptible long-range receptors and/or impacts on any important wider views, although in the light of the above the preliminary view is that the development is unlikely to give rise to severe adverse landscape effects.

The juxtaposition of the development with a mixture of employment uses, final details of which are yet to be agreed but which are likely to comprise a substantial element of B2 and B8 uses, is a concern, particularly given the heightened sensitivity of future residents to intrusive noise and activity. In practice, even with the details of the adjoining development known, it is highly likely that a bespoke landscaping solution will be required in order to prevent the unacceptable loss of amenity and, in turn, safeguard the operation of businesses. Whilst a Noise Impact Assessment may have the facility simply to assume a worst-case scenario, this is likely to impinge on layout and/or the living conditions of residents in other ways that is not conducive to a high standard of design, and may in fact prove unviable. It is not, for instance, considered reasonable to address amenity concerns by specifying single-aspect flats, or non- opening windows. The timing of the enquiry in relation to the principle of development aside, amenity is therefore the immediate concern in relation to the practicalities of the site.

The Council will naturally take a robust approach to maximising the prospect of timely delivery of employment sites in order to ensure balanced growth in and around all parts of the county. These concerns are reflected in the comments of the Council’s Economic Development Officer:

“Whilst Economic Development do not have any objections to this proposed development we do question whether the site is suitable for the proposed nursing and dementia care home and 29 assisted living units. At some point in the future the employment site will be developed and we feel that the impact of a business estate as a neighbour will potentially have a detrimental effect on the residents and staff of the care home and those living in the assisted living units. Many businesses now work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with associated deliveries and despatches. The resulting activity on the site and associated noise will not necessarily result in a quiet and peaceful environment which we feel would be more conducive for the residents and staff.

However, should permission for this site be granted then we would recommend that suitable security fencing be erected for the safety of staff and residents. We also strongly recommend that a bund to reduce the auditory impact and screening to reduce the visual impact should be included in the proposal.”

Please note, the comments of the Council’s Highways Officer and Ecologist are attached at the end of this letter, as these are considered to be self-explanatory and do not require further commentary here.

The Council’s Drainage Engineer notes the following requirements for submission:

“The application as stands does not contain any drainage information other than a brief mention of Flood Zones, but for a full planning application we would require:

 Any application will need to detail how foul drainage disposal will be achieved  Who would own/maintain the disposal system  Maintenance regime for foul system  Any application will need to detail how Surface drainage disposal will be achieved  Any application will need to show how the site will attenuate the discharge to provide betterment over existing run off rate (reduction to existing greenfield run off rate is required)  Permeability testing to BRE365 to determine if soakaways will work or how the storm water generated will be discharged  Need to determine the level of ground water to ensure that any soakaway base is at least 1m above the top level  Site is shown as FZ1,  Site is shown on the EA mapping as being at low risk from surface water flooding, although the EA mapping shows some sections possibly being at medium risk – this would have be to detailed and ameliorated in the design  Site as shown is at risk of potential groundwater flooding issues – use of soakaways may be restricted as a result.  Confirmation about who owns and is responsible for the adjacent watercourse is required”

Section 106 Requirements

On the basis that the proposal comprises only C2 accommodation, no site-specific contributions would be payable under the Council’s infrastructure policy CP3. CP46 does, however, state as follows:

“Proposals for extra-care accommodation to be sold or let on the open market are not considered exempt from the need to provide affordable housing. Therefore, proposals for extra care accommodation will be expected to provide an affordable housing contribution in line with Core Policy 43 (Providing Affordable Homes).”

The proposals would in any case be liable under the Council’s adopted Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Charging Schedule.

Planning Conditions

The following conditions are likely to be imposed on any permission granted in respect of the proposed development:

- Provision of access, turning and parking provisions prior to first occupation; - Carrying out of all landscaping details, including any acoustic mitigation, in a timely manner; - Restriction of supported living units to Class C2, not allowing fully independent (C3) or other residential occupation; - Finish and/or architectural details to be agreed (depending on content of application); - Restriction on hours of deliveries;

Additional information which may be required to be submitted with your application

Having reviewed the list produced at Page 4 of the supporting letter, this appears to be a reasonable reflection of the likely information requirements of a full submission. It is recommended that the Transport Assessment informs a Transport Strategy, although this is capable of being reserved by condition. The suggestion of an archaeological survey is welcomed, as the County Archaeologist recommends as follows:

“This area is highly sensitive in term of buried archaeological remains. The surrounding fields have been subject to full archaeological excavation with Roman and Bronze Age features excavated. Within the proposed red line area an archaeological evaluation was undertaken in 1999 and revealed prehistoric remains, including burials. I advise that if any application is consented for this area that an archaeological condition is attached to enable archaeological survey and excavation to be undertaken prior to construction on site starting.”

You are advised to refer to the attached consultation responses for further guidance on appropriate information.

Advice regarding procedure, consultation arrangements

On the basis of the information provided, it is considered that the indicated proposals are currently premature owing to the current lack of services/facilities available in the near vicinity of the site and lack of clarity over the final uses/layout of the adjacent employment site. In time, it may be possible to demonstrate the exceptional circumstances set out in the latter part of CP46 pertinent to the delivery of extra care accommodation in this location however at the time of writing the lack of certainty surrounding the site is such that the proposals would fail even the exceptional approach.

Yours faithfully,

Chris Marsh Senior Planning Officer

Please note that this assessment is based solely on the information you have supplied which is assumed to be accurate. If the submitted information is not correct or the development is not carried out in accordance with the submitted details, this may result in a development which would be in breach of planning control and liable to enforcement action to remedy the breach.

You should also note that this assessment is an informal officer opinion, it does not constitute a formal decision under Section 192 of the Town and Country Planning Act (as amended), and is not binding on the Council.

Your proposal may also require separate approval under the Building Regulations. Please call the Building Control team on 01249 706535 for further information.

Wiltshire Council recommends that all developers work with a telecommunication partner or subcontractor in the early stages of planning for any new development to make sure that Next Generation Access Broadband is a fundamental part of the project. Access to superfast broadband should be thought of as an essential utility for all new homes and businesses and given the same importance as water or power in any development design. Please liaise with a telecom provider to decide the appropriate solution for this development and the availability of the nearest connection point to high speed broadband.

Wiltshire Council Planning Consultation Response

ECOLOGY

Officer name: Emma Glover

Date: 29 November 2017

Application No: 17/10393/PREAPP Proposal: Proposed Nursing and Dementia Care Home and 29 assisted living units (C2). Site Address: Land at, Showell, Chippenham Case Officer: Chris Marsh

Hello Chris, thank you for consulting the ecology team about the above application.

My ecology observations are as follows:  Local species records include otter, butterfly, various bat species, badger.  The proposal should not conflict with any existing ecological conditions/mitigation/enhancement required for adjacent permissions.  The site may offer a variety of habitats which could support protected species.

CP50 of the Wiltshire Core Strategy and the National Planning Policy Framework requires that the planning authority ensures protection of important habitats and species in relation to development and seeks enhancement for the benefit of biodiversity through the planning system. It will therefore be necessary to assess the site for its potential to support habitats and species of importance to nature conservation. This should be undertaken by a suitably qualified and competent consultant ecologist.

The following ecological information is recommended to support any future planning application submission:

 An extended Phase I Habitat Survey of the site should be carried out by a suitably qualified ecologist. This may identify the requirement for further targeted species surveys which should be carried out at the appropriate time of year. The survey work should also address:  Potential impact on the watercourse running to the north-western boundary of the site.

If evidence of protected species is found, sufficient survey effort in line with national guidelines will be required to show how that species uses the site, how that use of the site could be impacted by the development and what suitable mitigation could be designed to remove or substantially reduce that impact. A report of the survey and any necessary proposals for mitigation and enhancements should be submitted in support of the application.

 I recommend that the ecologist should commission a data search from the Wiltshire and Swindon Biological Records Centre for potential statutory and non-statutory sites, protected species and presence of non-native invasive species within the relevant area.

The attached table shows the optimum time for surveys to be carried out for a range of species. Surveys conducted outside of the optimum period may not find sufficient information as to how a species may be using the site, to be able to properly inform the planning application. This in turn may lead to delays in determination of the application or refusal due to insufficient information. You are therefore strongly advised to discuss the timing of surveys with an appropriately qualified ecologist, in advance of the optimum survey period to ensure that a suitable level of species information can be presented in support of the planning application.

EcologicalSurveySea sons.pdf

 A list of consultant ecologists who are members of the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management can be found here: http://www.ieem.net/members-directory . It is recommended that full members of the institute should be used, as this level of membership indicates a level of general competence in ecology, although particular skills and experience may be required to carry out specialist surveys.

The applicant and developer should be aware that it is a criminal offence to disturb or harm protected species, or to damage or destroy their places of rest or shelter, should they subsequently be found during the development.

Kind regards,

Emma Glover

Highway Development Control Consultation Response

Pre-application Ref: 17/10393/PREAPP (GI17.665)

Site Address: Land at, Showell, Chippenham

Proposal: Proposed Nursing and Dementia Care Home and 29 assisted living units (C2).

Date of Consultation Response: 7th December 2017

I refer to the above pre-application submission dated 22nd November 2017 which seeks an opinion on a proposal for a nursing and dementia care home of 90 bedrooms, together with 29 assisted living units.

The site would take access from the B4528, adjacent to the access to Holywell House and within a layby area.

The Planning Agents acknowledge that the site is outside of the Chippenham Community Area Boundary Limit and the Chippenham Allocations Plan. Given that the site falls outside of this development boundary, there is a presumption against the development.

Furthermore, whilst other developments in the surrounding area for Rowden Park and Hunters Moon have been approved or have been submitted for planning permission, the consideration of this pre-application site would be considered premature, as there is no certainty of the timings of delivery of these developments which would wrap around the site, and which could bring forward some connectivity to local amenities and transport facilities. There would also be a need to provide appropriate pedestrian crossing facilities from the site in order to gain access to such facilities.

With regard to the submitted details, the indicative proposals for the care home show provision for 24 parking spaces, based on 1 space per 4 bedrooms plus 3 visitors. However, no details of parking for staff, or for the servicing needs of the site have been submitted, nor have any details been provided of the staffing levels required for the care home.

The 29 assisted living/independent living accommodation units are based on a mix of bungalows, apartments and houses with some communal facilities. 24 parking spaces for these units are indicatively shown in a communal parking area, but there is no supporting justification for this level of parking.

The Planning Agents have stated that a Transport Assessment would be submitted as part of any future planning application, and this would certainly be required to support any future planning submissions, and would need to include details of transport and pedestrian facilities that would be available to support a sustainable development. The access arrangements would also need to conform to appropriate standards in terms of geometry and visibility.

Having regard to the above, I would therefore feel bound to offer an adverse highway recommendation if a planning application were to be submitted.

If you have any queries regarding the above advice, please contact Amanda Hall on 01225 713323, [email protected]

This section displays the trip rate results based on the selected set of surveys and the selected count type (shown just above the table). It is split by three main columns, representing arrivals trips, departures trips, and total trips (arrivals plus departures). Within each of these main columns are three sub-columns. These display the number of survey days where count data is included (per time period), the average value of the selected trip rate calculation parameter (per time period), and the trip rate result (per time period). Total trip rates (the sum of the column) are also displayed at the foot of the table.

To obtain a trip rate, the average (mean) trip rate parameter value (TRP) is first calculated for all selected survey days that have count data available for the stated time period. The average (mean) number of arrivals, departures or totals (whichever applies) is also calculated (COUNT) for all selected survey days that have count data available for the stated time period. Then, the average count is divided by the average trip rate parameter value, and multiplied by the stated calculation factor (shown just above the table and abbreviated here as FACT). So, the method is: COUNT/TRP*FACT. Trip rates are then rounded to 3 decimal places. TRICS 7.4.3 301017 B18.05 Database right of TRICS Consortium Limited, 2017.
