PE support the need for an appropriately located “centre” to the scheme, but further work is required to determine the most appropriate location for this accounting for a range of factors. Site topography and building heights will be important considerations, but there will be wider considerations including proximity and access to nearby communities, the mix of uses proposed, the phasing of development and related to this the infrastructure required to support the delivery of such facilities. The policy should therefore be amended to support the identification of a site for a new local centre, but leave flexibility in the policy to find the appropriate design led response.

PE support variety of built form as set out in the draft policy.
This policy limb conflicts with 7 A) which promotes an
average density target of 50 – 55 dwellings per hectare.

PE support landmark features and buildings in appropriate
locations, taking account of landscape and other technical
work which will provide guidance on appropriate locations for taller buildings.

PE suggest this policy limb is reworded to read “maintain the distinction between the Grange Farm development and neighbouring villages, in terms of character and physical separation.” Note also there are inconsistencies here with the land being referred to as “Grange Farm” rather than “Land adjacent to A11/A1307”. There should be a consistent naming convention adopted for clarity.

PE support exemplar design quality. Further discussions are likely to be required about what is meant in this regard, but in principle GCSP’s ambition for the site is aligned with our own. It may be that this policy limb needs to be refined in due course to reflect this.

PE support principle of town and neighbourhood centres;
however, further work is required to establish how many
centres and what facilities can be supported by the proposed 6,000 homes. Great care will be required to consider the appropriate number of centres, their make up, scale and mix of uses, to ensure the objective of a vibrant, walkable new community is achieved. This may require decisions which weigh up the merits of fewer, larger “centres” vs a dispersed approach to amenity provision. This should be design led and not pre-judged by the policy.

Whilst PE support the desire to promote community integration through appropriately sized and located neighbourhood centres – further work is required on the number required, and relationship to wider development to maximise opportunities for effective integration with the scheme (and commercial viability). We are very much willing to explore higher densities in the vicinity of the Town or Neighbourhood Centres.

developing this into a clear project vision and concept
masterplan.
