All dwellings will be compliant with national space standards, and will incorporate sustainability measures such as PV panels and EV charging facilities.

 

The proposal would provide positive development in this location, bringing forward a substantial area of public open space comprising an area for play, sustainable drainage features and recreational pedestrian and cycle routes.

 

Vehicular access to private driveways and car parking courts will be provided off Stoke Road, with footway connections linking to existing walking, cycling and public transport networks, to support active travel.

 

The proposed attenuation basin will act as the main sustainable urban drainage system within the site, however additional measures to suit the SUDS hierarchy would also be considered at detailed design stage.

To limit the impact of the proposed development on existing residents, a Construction Management Plan would be submitted and approved by the Council prior to the commencement of development on-site. This would manage construction activity including operating hours, dust, noise and HGV movements.

 

The development will follow a “fabric first” approach, meaning homes will be highly energy efficient to reduce energy use and carbon emissions.

All homes will include measures to help future-proof the development and support the transition to net zero. This would include measures such as:

• Solar panels to generate renewable energy

• Air source heat pumps for low‑carbon heating

 

Further technical details will be provided as part of the application.
