Arvin Meritor Site, Grange Road, Cwmbran The comprehensive development of the Arvin Meritor Site, Grange Road, Cwmbran Design, Access and Sustainability Statement February 2011 This Design, Access and Sustainability Statement sets out a vision for the future expansion of Cwmbran Town Centre, with the aim of securing its long-term success within the Sub-Region. It explains how the development of the Eastern Strip might contribute to this objective by creating a new Gateway to the north-east of the Town Centre, comprising a mix of new retail, office, hotel and manufacturing uses. It also illustrates how westerly connections to the Town Centre would be provided with new public space and how existing assets such as Llantarnam Grange and the attendant under-utilised Green Corridor along St David’s Road could be imaginatively incorporated. Improved linkages to public transport nodes will also be provided. Implicit within these proposals is a commitment to social, economic and environmental sustainability, as well as public safety and inclusive design. 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 SCOPE OF DOCUMENT 1.2 METHODOLOGY 1.3 THE BRIEF 2 APPRAISING THE CONTEXT 2.1 ASSESSMENT 2.2 SOCIAL ASSESSMENT & ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS 2.3 PLANNING POLICY 2.4 INVOLVEMENT 2.5 EVALUATION 3 ENVIRONMENTAL CREDENTIALS 3.1 INTRODUCTION 3.2 ADAPTABILITY 3.3 SUSTAINABLE DESIGN SOLUTIONS 3.4 BUILDING MATERIALS 4 THE DESIGN 4.1 USE 4.2 AMOUNT 4.3 LAYOUT AND SCALE 4.4 OPTIONS APPRAISAL 4.5 APPEARANCE 4.6 LANDSCAPE 5 ACCESS 5.1 INTRODUCTION 5.2 MOVEMENT PATTERN 5.3 CAR AND CYCLE PARKING 6 CDM COMPONENT 6.1 GENERAL HAZARDS 6.2 CDM-FEASIBILITY STAGE DESIGN INTENT 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 SCOPE OF DOCUMENT 1.2 METHODOLOGY 1.3 THE BRIEF 8 CWMBRAN DESIGN, ACCESS & SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT INTRODUCTION 1 1.1 Scope of Document This Statement accompanies proposals for the within the context of wider aspirations for the Arvin Meritor site off Grange Road, Cwmbran easterly expansion of the town centre, and together with land owned by the Local the statement seeks to demonstrate how the Authority.
