Illustrative Framework Masterplan, Land Use Masterplan and Green Infrastructure Masterplan 2. Preliminary Landscape and Visual Appraisal 3. Landscape Review of Potential Site Allocations 4. Transport and access 5. Technical note on traffic generation 6. Drainage and flood risk 7. Ecology 8. Built heritage 9. Utilities 10. Noise 11. Air quality 12. Archaeology 28458/A5/LV Page 1 December 2018 Blandford NP Representations Response to information request 2.0 Response to information request Overview 2.1 This report provides an overview of the proposals for the Land North and East of Blandford Forum, alongside demonstrating that the aspirations of the emerging Blandford Forum Neighbourhood Plan for the site can be achieved. 2.2 A technical summary is provided for each of the disciplines noted in the information request that are considered relevant. These summaries are provided in the supporting appendices. 2.3 A technical note has previously been provided concerning the estimated traffic increase at selected locations in the local road network from the construction of 400 dwellings at the site to inform an assessment of air quality impacts. We have also recently submitted representations in response to the emerging Neighbourhood Plan and its Sustainability Appraisal, including a Landscape Review of Potential Site Allocations. For completeness, the technical note on traffic generation and Landscape Review of Potential Site Allocations are re-provided as part of this submission. Masterplan 2.4 The proposals are being brought forward in line with the requirements of the draft allocation for the site. These are set out in Policy B2 of the Pre-submission version of the Blandford + Neighbourhood Plan 2 (November 2018). 2.5 Policy B2 explains that: “The Neighbourhood Plan allocates land to the North and North East of Blandford Forum, as shown on the Policies Map, for a mix of residential, education, community and allotment uses. Development proposals for the land will be supported, provided: i. The residential scheme comprises approx. 400 dwellings including open market, starter, affordable rent and self-build homes, primarily located on land to the north-east of Blandford Forum; ii. The education scheme comprises a new two form entry primary school with integrated early years provision; iii. The education scheme shall be confined to land to the north of Blandford of about 3 hectares and of a regular form to enable school expansion to three form entry and in a convenient position to facilitate the use of the existing A350 pedestrian bridge; 28458/A5/LV Page 2 December 2018 Blandford NP Representations Response to information request iv. The community hub scheme comprises a new general practice facility, a community centre and convenience shop to serve the locality; and v. The Lamperd’s Field Allotments are relocated to a single location to the west of their current position and comprise land of approximately 2.5 hectares and ancillary facilities that meet or exceed the standards of the existing site; vi. The highways scheme comprises measures to satisfactorily manage its traffic effects on the road network and to encourage and enable safe and convenient walking and cycling to community facilities (including the new community hub and new school, the Blandford School, the recreation ground at Larksmead and Pimperne Brook/Black Lane) and employment areas (including the town centre, Sunrise Business Park, Glenmore Industrial Estate, and Blandford Heights Industrial Estate); vii. The highways scheme includes proposals for the improvement to the existing bus services to serve the proposals and connecting to the town centre, Blandford School, the Sunrise Business Park, Glenmore Industrial Estate and Blandford Heights Industrial Estate; viii. A design and landscape scheme comprises measures to satisfactorily mitigate any adverse impacts upon the AONB by way of the details of the design, layout, landscape treatment, materials and typical details of appearance and elevation of buildings and of minimising light spill into the AONB; ix. The green infrastructure scheme comprises an ecology, sustainable drainage and boundary treatment strategy that demonstrates how existing environmental assets will be protected and enhanced comprising: • A biodiversity strategy to deliver, where possible, a net gain in biodiversity value on site; and, how biodiversity assets will be connected into the wider green infrastructure network; and • A public open space strategy to integrate the built environment and connected into the wider green infrastructure network, including the delivery of public open space proposals on both the land to the North and North East including informal open spaces and natural and equipped children’s play space; x. A flood risk assessment and sustainable drainage strategy to demonstrate how the scheme will not increase surface water or fluvial flood risk on any adjoining land. Proposals should be made in the form of a comprehensive outline planning application and should include: xi. an illustrative masterplan that defines the land uses and key development principles for access, layout, design and the principles of phasing and implementation; xii. design features that improve energy efficiency and reduces carbon dioxide emissions; and, xiii. a planning obligation to secure the release of all land necessary for the supporting infrastructure, the 2FE primary school and other community facilities following outline planning consent for the phase 1 scheme within the Blandford + Neighbourhood area and prior to the commencement of that scheme, with no dependency of the land release for the Phase 1 Scheme on the Phase 2 scheme which lies outside the neighbourhood plan boundary within the adjacent parish of Pimperne.” 28458/A5/LV Page 3 December 2018 Blandford NP Representations Response to information request 2.6 The masterplan proposes an extension to the existing community of Blandford, creating a new gateway to the town from the A354 / A340 bypass. It seeks to create a new residential development supported by a primary school and a community hub which could include residential, retirement living, shops, café and community facilities. 2.7 The mixed-use centre, located within the northern half of the scheme, will support the new community, existing local community and passing commuters. 2.8 Access to the northern parcel would be secured off the Salisbury Road roundabout via the A354, providing an opportunity to significantly enhance the gateway / entrance to Blandford Forum. Located on a primary route into the town centre, the proposed local centre would be in a prominent location for passers-by as well as being easily accessed by the wider town. 2.9 The proposed primary school, local centre and allotments are proposed in the northern parcel, promoting sustainable movement within the new development and local area with strong pedestrian connections. Vehicular access is achieved from the existing access point from Salisbury Road. 2.10 The north east parcel comprises residential use and is accessed from the A354. The masterplan seeks to create a well landscaped avenue within the development. The avenue forms a structural element to both the site movement but also the landscape, creating strong defined features within the masterplan and connecting residents to the wider infrastructure. 2.11 The proposed avenues also form part of the wider landscape strategy, which break up the development with strong tree-line corridors. This supports the existing landscape of hedgerows and boundary trees. The combination of the well planted avenues, reinforcing hedgerow routes, strategic open space and key views help to break up the development from the wider landscape and create a distinctive landscape within the new development. 2.12 The landscape is closely tied in with a strong green network of routes within the masterplan, connecting the residential areas to the local facilities, play space and mixed-use centre, but also with the wider community and established pedestrian and cycle routes into Blandford Forum.

  • Planning and the AONB Sustaining Landscape Character
    Planning and the AONB Sustaining Landscape Character Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty AONB Office, Castle Street, Cranborne, Dorset, BH21 5PZ Telephone: (01725) 517417 Fax: (01725) 517916 Email: [email protected] Website: www.ccwwdaonb.org.uk Planning and the AONB – Sustaining Landscape Character AONBs are designated for their outstanding natural beauty. This has not, however, been defined in the legislation that relates to AONBs. The Government did confirm, in June 2000, that the landscapes of National Parks and AONBs are of equal quality. They are, however, living and working communities, not preserved reservations. Before the requirement for AONBs to have Management Plans to conserve and enhance their natural beauty, the constituent Local Planning Authorities sought to protect them from inappropriate development via policies and development control decisions. Whilst this had some success, it tended to promote a view that the AONB designation was a millstone that meant no development would be likely to be allowed. The commonly held view that ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ fuelled opinions that planning decisions were being made on a subjective, and potentially biased, basis. From Zig-Zag Hill towards Shaftesbury Landscape Character Assessment is a structured and repeatable analysis which provides a greater understanding of the landscapes around us. It informs planning and land management options, policies, and decisions. The Countryside Agency sponsored an initial assessment, which led to the production of a popular booklet about the landscapes of this AONB, in 1995. A more detailed assessment was completed in 2003, and that is available on our web site www.ccwwdaonb.org.uk.

    ROMAN ROADS IN BRITAIN c < t < r c ROMAN ROADS IN BRITAIN BY THE LATE THOMAS CODRINGTON M, INST.C. E., F. G S. fFITH LARGE CHART OF THE ROMAN ROADS AND SMALL MAPS IN THE TEXT REPRINT OF THIRD EDITION LONDON SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE NEW YORK: THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 1919 . • r r 11 'X/^i-r * ' Ci First Edition^ 1903 Second Edition, Revised, 1905 Tliird Edition, Revised, 1918 (.Reprint), 19 „ ,, 19 PREFACE The following attempt to describe the Roman roads of Britain originated in observations made in all parts of the country as opportunities presented themselves to me from time to time. On turning to other sources of information, the curious fact appeared that for a century past the litera- ture of the subject has been widely influenced by the spurious Itinerary attributed to Richard of Cirencester. Though that was long ago shown to be a forgery, statements derived from it, and suppositions founded upon them, are continually repeated, casting suspicion sometimes unde- served on accounts which prove to be otherwise accurate. A wide publicity, and some semblance of authority, have been given to imaginary roads and stations by the new Ordnance maps. Those who early in the last century, under the influence of the new Itinerary, traced the Roman roads, unfortunately left but scanty accounts of the remains which came under their notice, many of which have since been destroyed or covered up in the making of modern roads; and with the evidence now available few Roman roads can be traced continuously. The gaps can often be filled with reasonable certainty, but more often the precise course is doubtful, and the entire course of some roads connecting known stations of the Itinerary of Antonine can only be guessed at.

    <VERSO>SHORTER CONTRIBUTIONS <RECTO>SHORTER CONTRIBUTIONS <AT>A Magnetometry Survey of the Second Augustan Legionary Fortress at Lake Farm, Dorset <AU>By DAVE STEWART, PAUL CHEETHAM and MILES RUSSELL <H1>ABSTRACT A magnetometry survey of the Roman fort [the terms ‘fort’ and ‘fortress’ are used interchangeably throughout – is this OK?] at Lake Farm, near Wimborne Minster in Dorset, first discovered in 1959, has upgraded the status of this site to a full legionary fortress: a major base of the legio II Augusta during the subjugation of the Durotriges and other tribes of south- west Britain. The interior layout of the fortress was identified for the first time, together with the original road and river connections, extensive areas of extramural activity and evidence for an earlier phase of the site as a marching camp. Keywords: Lake Farm; legionary fortress; marching camp; geophysical survey; II Augusta; Vespasian; Durotriges; Roman invasion Archaeological features at Lake Farm, at the south-western margins of Wimborne Minster in Dorset (SY 998 991), were first revealed in 1959–60, during the investigation of what was thought to be a prehistoric field-bank or Roman road. Intermittent excavation, directed by Norman Field, a local schoolteacher and amateur archaeologist, from 1959–711 and Graham Webster, of Birmingham University, from 1972–73,2 defined a series of Roman post-holes, gullies, ditches and metalled road surfaces, a water-leat or aqueduct and associated settling tanks. Together, these features appeared to comprise part of a fort covering an area of around 1 Field and Butler 1965; 1966; Field 1967; 1968; 1969; 1970; 1971; 1992, 34–8.

  • Salisbury Central Area Framework Public Consultation
    Salisbury Central Area Framework Public Consultation Report (Jan - Feb 2020) 1 1. Introduction 1.1. Wiltshire Council has produced a Salisbury Central Area Framework (CAF) which makes a series of recommendations for future development in Salisbury’s city centre area. 1.2. The CAF project was borne out of the recovery work in the city following the nerve agent attack in March 2018, which had a profoundly damaging impact on the city centre economy. At the time of writing Salisbury, along with the rest of the world, is now in the midst of the Covid-19 crisis. While the impact of the pandemic has delayed the work on the CAF, the shutdown and economic fallout has made the need to plan proactively for the city centre even more acute. It has accelerated the urgency to deliver the recommendations of the CAF in order to support Salisbury in its long-term recovery from both tragic events. The plans and projects within the CAF form an essential part of Salisbury's bounce back from these events. 1.3. The CAF makes a series of recommendations for deliverable development initiatives within the city centre area to help aid the city’s recovery. It is intended to serve as an evidence-based document to inform the Wiltshire Local Plan Review, the emerging Salisbury Neighbourhood Plan and future planning guidance documents as appropriate. 1.4. The council has undertaken two stages of in-depth public consultation on the CAF. The first was a consultation on a series of broad themes for the CAF between Thursday 27th June and Friday 9th August 2019 and the second was on a draft CAF between Thursday 16th January and Friday 28th February 2020.
