Introduction and site history

Transcription

1 Background Introduction and site history Taylor Wimpey has now purchased the land formerly known as andata House, Station oad, Hook. The site has been vacant for many years despite the grant of residential planning permission in 202. Having purchased the land in January 205, we have been working on plans for a revised scheme. We have held pre-application meetings with Hart District Council, the local planning authority and also with Hook Parish Council. We would now like the views and thoughts of the local community and stakeholders. The site benefits from a planning permission for 50 residential units. The permitted scheme comprises a mix of 29 No., 2 and 3 bedroom apartments and 2 no. 2 and 3 bedroom houses. However, the view of Taylor Wimpey is that there is a more appropriate mix of units which reflects the immediate and historic requirements of Hart District Council; primarily and 2 bed properties. We also feel that an apartment-led scheme ocal shops/ facilities Hook train station would make more effective use of this brownfield site and offer a more appropriate mix to the marketplace. Due to the fact a site layout has already been granted permission and commented on in some detail by the local authority, the Parish and all the relevant stakeholders, we felt it was important to keep as close as possible to the already permitted scheme. Therefore, this was the starting point for our proposed layout and we have tried, where esidential development Proposed site Bartley Wood Business Park possible, to use the principles and parameters that have already been established.

5 Site considerations Parking, access, highways & sustainability Parking Car parking provision for the proposed development has regard to the accessibility of the site, local authority parking standards and local car ownership levels. Spaces will also be provided for visitors to the site. A total of 4 spaces are proposed which equates to a ratio of.5 spaces per apartment. This is an increase over the level of parking approved as part of the previous scheme, which provided approximately. spaces per dwelling. peak periods when the local roads within Hook are at their busiest. This is a reduction from the previous office use. A Transport Assessment will be prepared to support the planning application which will test the impact of the proposal on the local road network surrounding the site. Sustainability The site is ideally located to encourage travel by sustainable modes of transport. Hook railway station is within approximately 300m (or 3-4 minutes walk) and provides two services per hour to destinations including Basingstoke, Fleet, Farnborough and ondon Waterloo. In the peak hours, four services are provided per hour to ondon Waterloo. Access Similar to the approved scheme, access is proposed via Station oad and Osborn Way. The access from Station oad is proposed to be an in only and the access onto Osborn Way KEY proposed as an out only. efuse vehicles will be able to travel SITE through the site to enable the collection of bins. EISUE FACIITIES ETAI FACIITIES The village centre has a range of everyday services and facilities including convenience stores, a pharmacy, dentist, public houses, barbers and takeaway restaurants within approximately 500m (or 5-6 minutes walk). A variety of employment opportunities and Hook Junior School are also ideally located to encourage individuals to walk.

6 Site considerations andscaping, arboriculture, ecology & drainage Open Space is at the heart of the development and a high quality design will provide a focus for visual amenity encouraging community cohesion. andscaping Use of a simple palette of hardscape materials will create a landscape that links the overall site. Use of street trees and shrub planting to reduce the urban scale, and break up views. Ensure that the public realm is a child-friendly environment. Provide adequate defensible spaces. Create an inviting landscape that reinforces the built character and creates a sense of space. Create green edges for biodiversity, amenity and visual screening. Arboriculture There are no existing trees on site but there will be a significant number planted within the new scheme that will improve the amenity and wildlife value of the site. Ecology The existing site is of limited value to wildlife. The new proposals will include enhanced boundary landscaping and feature tree planting with wildlife friendly shrubs in the open space. Bird boxes will be incorporated into the new scheme, which support a wide range of common bird species. Drainage Strategy The proposed surface water drainage will outfall to the same private surface water sewer in Osborn Way as the existing site. Due to the proposed impermeable area being less than the existing site, the rate of flow into this sewer will be reduced. The foul drainage will continue to outfall to the existing public foul sewer in Station oad, either by re-using the existing connection or by way of a new one. large part of the proposed site will consist of permeable paving. This has the benefit of providing some water quality improvement and is in line with the current SUDS guidance.

7 Economic benefits of development What will our development bring to the area? We are proposing a residential development of 78 new homes in Hook. The development will include a range of property styles and sizes and a proportion of homes will be affordable. New development can bring a number of economic benefits to the local area and we have estimated these using UK-wide statistical data. Building the homes 0 jobs Direct employment Estimated to create 0 temporary construction jobs per year of build 7 jobs Indirect/Induced employment 7 jobs could be supported in the supply chain per year of build 4.7m Economic output Expected additional Gross Value Added (GVA) per year from direct and indirect jobs Once people move in 390,000 First occun expenditure Total anticipated spend on goods and services by people as they move in to the new houses, to make them feel like home,729,073 Total spend by residents The amount the residents of the new development are expected to spend per year Additional local authority income 8,50 Additional Council Tax revenues per year Estimated additional Council Tax per year based on the proposed number of new homes 522,680 New Homes Bonus payments A grant paid, over six years, by central government to local councils for increasing the amount of homes in their area
