2. Planning law requires that applications for planning permission be determined in accordance with the development plan2, unless material considerations indicate a sustainable development. otherwise3. The National Planning Policy Framework must be taken into account in preparing the development plan, and is a material consideration in planning decisions. Planning policies and decisions must also reflect relevant international National Planning Policy Framework obligations and statutory requirements.

General references to planning policies in the Framework should be applied in a way that is appropriate to the type of plan being produced, taking into account policy on plan-making in chapter 3.

4. The Framework should be read in conjunction with the Government’s planning good architecture and appropriate policy for traveller sites, and its planning policy for waste. When preparing plans or making decisions on applications for these types of development, regard should also be had to the policies in this Framework, where relevant.

These are determined in accordance with the decision- landscaping. making framework in the Planning Act 2008 (as amended) and relevant national policy statements for major infrastructure, as well as any other matters that are relevant (which may include the National Planning Policy Framework). National policy statements form part of the overall framework of national planning policy, and may be a material consideration in preparing plans and making decisions on planning applications.

6. Other statements of government policy may be material when preparing plans or deciding applications, such as relevant Written Ministerial Statements and endorsed recommendations of the National Infrastructure Commission.

National Planning Policy Framework (2019) At the heart of the NPPF, there is a presumption in favour of sustainable development. Achieving sustainable development means that the planning system has three overarching objectives: economic, social and environmental. The proposal meets these objectives set out in Paragraph 8:

Economic - Development will provide employment opportunities throughout the construction stage. Financial contributions resulting from planning permission will be made towards improving infrastructure and other local projects.

THE DEVELOPMENT Social - The site adjoins the settlement boundary of DEMONSTRATES ALL THREE Andover and is identified in the Local Plan as being STRANDS OF SUSTAINABILITY an area for residential development, the scheme is therefore acceptable in principle. The development

An understanding of the local character of Picket Piece has informed the design rationale for the development layout. A site visit and study of the urban grain characteristics of the settlement has been undertaken. 1

Picket Piece is a small village in the Test Valley District of Hampshire. Its nearest town is Andover which lies approximately 3 miles to the west. Residential properties have been developed along Walworth Road which gently curves from Andover centre to Harroway to the east. Dwellings are sited amongst business parks, and before field parcels that abut the railway line to the north and open countryside in agricultural use beyond. To the south is development infill beyond dwellings which front Walworth Road.

The urban form of Picket Piece is ribbon development with semi-rural character. Following the extension to the area, new development infill follows a grid format whilst respecting the 2 spacious and green character of the area. This has been achieved through the retention of existing vegetation and incorporating new landscaping.

Trains are visible from the railway which is at grade along the northern boundary. As the land drops away to the west, the railway is higher along an embankment.

The site is higher than Gray land to the west and continues to rise to the south-east. From the site and continuing east, there are regular narrow and long fields defined by established boundaries running south to north.

Adjacent the existing dwelling, tall deciduous trees are a significant landscape feature and mark the eastern boundary of the Site. Silver Birch trees are on the northern boundary adjacent the railway.

The western boundary of Hutton land is post and wire fence.

The Artspace commercial site is evident within the landscape from all long views. There are excellent views of the site from the rising large community open space to the south of the Ox Drove. Artspace has consent (17/01275/FULLN) for a large extension trebling the size and much more car parking.

Properties here are 2 to 3 storey and a mix of terrace, semi-detached and detached homes with no setback. Dwellings incorporate brick and a small number of rendered and weatherboarding façades. Decorative features such as contrasting brick banding and stone and brick cills/heads are seen throughout.

An extensive range of materials and architectural details can be found amongst pre-existing and subsequent dwellings to Walworth Road, Locksbridge Park, and Ox Drove.

There appears to be no set architectural design; however, the use of various roof designs, dormer windows, porch styles, brick colour variations and boundary treatments adds to the character of the general area.

INITIAL SKETCH • Detached houses that front Walworth Road to be re-aligned, so they are arranged informally. • Provision of frontage hedgerow along Walworth Road with footpath / shared driveway behind to allow for continuation. Allow enough space for trees. FRAMEWORK SKETCH 1 • Hard surface area at the bottom of the north / south street to be redesigned, so it becomes The following urban design comments were made by John Hearn and as a result an arrival point for the main pedestrian route to strike off north. changes to the framework and layout have • Driveways west and east could be used for vehicle turning, but the aesthetic would be of a been considered. pedestrian place rather than a roadway. • Primary route north-south to be a treed street. Beneficial to have trees of the same species to reinforce identity and legibility. • To allow enough room for trees a footpath should be on the other side of the street separated from the carriageway by a grass verge within which trees would be position. The footpath could connect with the pocket park and the west/east primary street further north. • This approach could be taken for the west/east primary street. • Large areas of trees on the pocket park will provide a focus and integrate trees and buildings on higher ground when viewing development from the north. • Key nodes with buildings brought forward will define and mark spaces. • Beneficial to increase the height of buildings surrounding three storey apartments in this location. • Architecture and aesthetics to be carefully considered, so there are not too many different components and styles. • Street trees are essential within the primary route west to east. The continuity of trees in this street will be broken by the buildings projecting forward at the node, • Continue green footpath link up to the MUGA / teenage play area in the north, adjacent the railway line. • Tertiary streets should be well landscaped and to draw attention away from parked cars.

(C) The former MUGA site (Gray) could be developed as apartments at a similar scale to the consented flats. (C,D) Apartments on the previous MUGA site will be prominent from the Gray development, including the POS, and will define and enclose the public realm and the main connector road leading east from Gray to Hutton and beyond. This road from Gray to Hutton should be landscaped with street trees continuing the landscaped route from Gray, though Hutton and in the future to the COM6 land to the east. It should contain a landscaped footpath. (E) There should be a smaller POS centrally positioned within the housing development which is connected by a north/south tree-lined road with the footpath. (F, G) This tree-lined and landscaped street should contain a cycle/pedestrian connection. (H) Houses and apartments should face onto the north/south and both sides of west/east streets and face onto the open space. (I) Including the land currently forming the access road to Artspace provides an opportunity to slightly revise the south-east corner part of Gray and to adjust the layout and spacing of semi/detached properties that will face Walworth Road. (J) A well-treed boundary should be provided which would incorporate a pedestrian link. (K) A treed northern boundary (L) The eastern boundary should be augmented with landscaping. Suggest clumps of tall trees to reinforce the field pattern, which will be appreciated from long views. (M) The turning space for vehicles to the south of Hutton site is likely to be the point where the pedestrian route and cycleway enters the land from Walworth Road..

Land north no.11 Walworth Road, Picket Piece  27 THIRD SKETCH

FRAMEWORK SKETCH 3 An axonometric sketch drawing allows us to understand the juxtaposition between buildings, spaces and trees.

28 Design & Access Statement DESIGN COMMENTS URBAN DESIGN COMMENTS • Road to have one pavement creating space for a wider carriageway and more significant street trees. • ‘Yellow street’ to become a wide landscaped footpath providing a separate main pedestrian connection to the COM6 land to the east. • Creating a separate pedestrian connection would link directly to the pocket POS and provide extra amenity space. Further south from the pocket POS pedestrians could share the driveway/road with the few vehicles. • Heading north from the pocket POS a separate pathway could be set in the wide verge to the front of plots 29, 30, 31 and 32. • Provision of a double bend would slow vehicles down. It would make the MUGA less isolated, and the apartments could be an attractive focus when coming into Hutton from COM6 land to the east. • Car parking area north of the apartments and south of the MUGA should be enclosed with hedging and trees.

LANDSCAPE COMMENTS • Given this is likely to form the primary route into the remaining allocation its worth adopting some of the landscape design principles from the Gray primary route. i.e separate the footpath from the highway with allowance for small tree groups in-between. This would mean tweaking plots 36-45. • Keep the area shown dashed as grass or meadow to avoid sterilising future road access to the eastern allocation. • Remove the pavement in front of the flats to provide a more generous landscape area. • Plot 32 to turn the corner to allow a double frontage thus providing a more positive view overlooking the park to the south. • MUGA area to the north is sufficient and will be able to accommodate some buffer planting to soften views from the north and Artspace.
