INTRODUCTION

This Design and Access statement has been prepared by Lathams to accompany a planning application on the site south of Costock Road, East Leake, for 22 residential units on behalf of Positive Homes Ltd. The scheme will use ‘Modern Methods of Construction (MMC)’, with dwellings precision engineered in a factory before being installed on

Gotham Road site. It will be one of the largest MMC schemes in the country. Every property will be ‘A’ rated under the Energy Performance Certificate system - putting them in the top 0.16% in the country for energy

efficiency. Currently Rushcliffe only has 60 homes (0.18%) meeting Costock Road this standard * (Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government data, via https://epc.opendatacommunities.org/domestic/search).

Positive Homes Ltd is a Rushcliffe-based housing company which Main Street specialises in developing super-low energy homes. It focusses on smaller homes, with a mission to make energy efficiency the norm, not the exception for new properties. EAST LEAKE The award-winning firm has plans to build 700 homes for private sale and rent by 2026, aimed mainly at first time buyers, smaller families and older people looking to ‘downsize’.More information about Positive Homes is included with this planning application. The application site is a broadly rectangular plot 0.6 hectares in extent at the outskirts of the village of East Leake. The site is situated south Kingston Banks development of the Costock Road separated by a belt of native mature hedge. The site accommodates a low quality outbuilding on the northern side of the site presumably connected to former agricultural uses.

possible. The proposed development provides suitable amount of affordable housing in the proposed tenure mix. Policy E3 – Green Infrastructure within the Built Environment

The proposed scheme only includes a mix of 2 and 3 bedroom homes, for a target market of first time buyers, small families and the elderly looking to downsize. The Neighbourhood Plan identified these groups as being in the most need for suitable housing in the village. However many of the recent developments around East Leake have featured significant numbers of larger, detached properties. The proposal is designed to redress that imbalance.

A new internal footpath is proposed to connect Costock Road Playing fields with the overspill car park. This will form part of the Section 106 agreement. The site is connected to the village centre via the existing Costock Road footpath, and is opposite the proposed Sheep Plank Lane strategic green/foot path.

8 Costock Road, East Leake 3.0 SITE ANALYSIS

SITE CONSTRAINTS

The site itself is an open field with slight fall from North to South. All boundaries to the site have mature hedgerows with a drainage ditch running along the eastern and northern boundaries.

A footpath runs along the south side of Costock Road connects East Leake with the Sports Pitches to the East. The footpath is narrow and with vehicular movement causes some issue. The car park at the front of the new David Wilson development provides better access to the new pavilion proposed pitches.

LOCAL SERVICES AND LAND USES

The site is surrounded by a variety of uses including retail, shops education, places of worship within walking distance from the site, proving this location to be highly sustainable. One primary school, Brookside Primary School, has been identified within vincity of the site. Local Meadow Park East Leake providing additional amenity space for the residents is located within 550 m from the site. Numerous shops and groceries are located within 500 m radius from the site boundary.

HERITAGE

The site sits outside of the East Leake Conservation boundary with no visual impact on it or any Listed Buildings. The historic core of the village is centred around Main Street and the Grade 1 Church of St Mary, remote from the site.

The closest Listed Building to the site is the Grade II East Leake Baptist Church off Costock Road.

No further analysis of heritage impact was considered necessary following this understanding.

FLOOD RISK

An initial assessment of the site, based on Environment Agency mapping system, indicated that the northern section to is partly in flood zones 2 and 3, as shown on adjacent image. However, further detailed floodrisk analysis has been undertaken by BWB engineers.

The results of the detailed floodrisk assesment, attached with the application, indicate the fact that Costock Road acts as a natural flood barrier therefore the site is located wholly within Flood Zone 1.

These floodrisk assesment results have been submitted to the Environment Agency for incorporation into its mapping. At time of writing the result has been accepted in principle.

SITE STRATEGY

Being of linear proportions, there is a simple, straight forward way to arrange residential development. A main spine road is necessary for development to runnorth/south along either the west or east boundaries. To ensure the mature hedgerow (and tree) to the western and southern is retained, the decision to use the east edge for the access road was taken. This also keeps the development visibily isolated from the adjacent car park and neighbouring development.

The location of the site entrance was therefore relocated accordingly which in turn improves visibility of traffic as demonstarted within the accompanying transport assessment.

A row of houses is aligned but set back from Costock Road for a few reasons: ■■ To create frontage to the development ■■ To improve the setting of the development with the introduction of a green open space ■■ to provide better, safer pedestrian access from the car park to the sports pitches
