12 Growing Leicester: Lubbesthorpe We were appointed in 2008 to prepare the outline planning application for this Sustainable Urban Extension (SUE) to the west of Leicester in Blaby District at a location identified in the Regional Strategy and supported by the local authority. The proposal is one of three major extensions planned for the city to The site is located west of the M1 motorway and north and south of the M69 between the existing communities of Leicester Forest East and Enderby. Extending to nearly 400 hectares the site includes former parkland associated with Enderby Hall and the abandoned medieval village of Lubbesthorpe which gives the new community its name and is also a Scheduled Ancient Monument. Our concept is to create a complete new mixed use community with a variety of homes, shops, schools and businesses, meeting the needs of the new community and providing facilities for nearby communities. The development is set within a generous framework of parks and new gardens. Four existing plantation woodlands and the SAM are retained and incorporated into a major central park. Sustainability is at the heart of the development with ambitious targets set to achieve low carbon renewable energy to serve the development. New access links will be established into and through the site and new crossings over the M1 and M69 motorways are proposed to link to the east. The access and open space structure creates the setting for the development of around 4,500 new homes, a secondary school and two primary schools, with a mixed use district centre, meeting places, healthcare, parks and recreation grounds and a strategic employment site for logistics and industrial development. Lubbesthorpe is set to become a major new showcase for 21st century sustainable lifestyles. Project Facts!

18 Sustainable Urban Extension for East Swindon Swindon is identified as one of the key economic drivers within the region and is expected to play a particularly important role to accommodate growth. The challenge is to bring a transformation of the town through the regeneration of the town centre, the delivery of high quality housing opportunities at Swindon (rather than in surrounding villages), and the expansion of new employment opportunities in knowledge based industries. Through the active promotion of David Lock Associates and other key stakeholders, the Core Strategy commits to the region s largest urban extension to the east of the town some 7,500 dwellings. David Lock Associates, as master planners and planners, are leading the delivery of a high quality urban extension that is integrated with the town and complementary to the plans for the transformation of the town s existing neighbourhoods and town centre. Critical to the success and early implementation of the Eastern Villages is the development of a planning framework within which planning applications may be progressed and the considerable infrastructure requirements planned and committed. Partnership working to develop innovative means of infrastructure funding will be a key feature of the project.

22 A New Community for Aylesbury Vale RSS 9 identified Salden Chase as an area to deliver 5,390 homes directly abutting Milton Keynes but in the district of Aylesbury Vale. As a result, the project has drawn upon our full range of planning, master planning, graphics, negotiation and project management skills. For the 300ha of rolling farmland that forms Salden Chase we ran a year long series of extensive stakeholder, statutory consultees, Parish Council and community consultation events. With officer support this has led to the preparation of a hybrid planning application for a mixed use development scheme which delivers the housing aspirations for both Milton Keynes and Aylesbury Vale District Council whilst also addressing the commercial, cultural, leisure and community priorities identified by local interest groups and the local residents. As a result of our concurrent negotiations with the lead planning authority, Aylesbury Vale District Council, our work has led to the site being identified within the emerging Local Development Framework.
