About our development Welcome to our public consultation This exhibition gives you the chance to view and comment on our proposals for a residential development of up to 187 high-quality homes, along with public open space, on land to the east of Grantham Road, Waddington. We are proposing to submit a detailed planning application to North Kesteven District Council in the near future, and you can help to shape our emerging scheme by providing us with your feedback. All comments will be taken into consideration as our planning application is finalised. An aerial view of our proposed development location, which shows the site outlined in red. About the site The proposed development site, outlined in red on the map pictured above, has previously been used for agricultural purposes and covers an area of 6.21 hectares (15.35 acres). The site is located to the east of Grantham Road (the A607), south of High Dyke and north of an existing residential area. A Western Power Distribution sub-station and RAF Waddington border the site to the east. Planning background The site is allocated for new housing in Central Lincolnshire s emerging Local Plan, which is now in the final stages of consultation. Going forward, the Local Plan will be the key document that will guide all development in North Kesteven District. The emerging Local Plan envisages the site being developed to comprise approximately 187 new homes. Taylor Wimpey is preparing a planning application for up to 187 new homes and public open space. The proposed development site is located to the east of Grantham Road (the A607), south of High Dyke and north of an existing residential area. The land is allocated for new housing in Central Lincolnshire s emerging Local Plan. The site has previously been used for agricultural purposes and covers an area of 6.21 hectares (15.35 acres).
Site considerations Information about the site we need to take into account Before we start designing a new scheme, we complete an assessment of the site and the surrounding area as they are at the moment. We record those features that we will need to take into account in our design. All of the relevant considerations, whether they fix the way our scheme will have to be designed or give us a real opportunity to make the most of a particular feature, are shown here. The key characteristics of the development site and its surroundings, which we are considering as part of our proposals. Things to think about An advisory 2m stand-off distance is recommended between the proposed development and the off-site electricity substation situated to the northeast. Existing boundary trees and hedgerows to be retained and enhanced where possible, with new planting implemented too. Appropriate mitigation measures to overcome potential aircraft noise from RAF Waddington. Relationship between the site and existing properties along Grantham Road and Pottergate Close to be discussed with residents. New homes to be thoughtfully designed to reflect the character of the existing area. Position of access into the proposed development.
About our development Information about the site we need to take into account Direct access to the site off Grantham Road along the western boundary. Sufficient parking with many plots to feature private driveways. Easy access by foot to local services/facilities and bus services. Mitigation measures agreed to avoid adverse noise levels. Traffic, access and parking Any potential impact of the development proposals on the local area will be carefully considered throughout the design process and considered within a formal Transport Assessment. The assessment will take into account discussions with North Kesteven District Council and Lincolnshire County Council (the Local Highways Authority), and will consider the amount of traffic that the new development will generate. The findings from this assessment will help to inform the detailed proposals in our planning application. The proposed scheme will require a new access road off Grantham Road (the A607). This would be provided in the form of a new priority controlled ghost island junction, south of the High Dyke traffic signal junction. The new junction would be designed in accordance with national and local design standards as appropriate.

Travis Baker 11 Malin Hill The Lace Market Nottingham NG1 1JQ AUT T16046 FOR COPYRIGHT TRAVIS BAKER T The masterplan would be designed to accommodate sufficient parking for residents of the site, and would comply with North Kesteven District Council s car parking standards for new residential developments. Many of the houses will have private driveways, to help ensure that all parking for new residents is contained within the development. Noise The site is situated on the northern side of Waddington between the A607 Grantham Road to the west and RAF Waddington to the east. It is bounded to the south by existing residential development and to the north by High Dyke, which serves as an access road for RAF Waddington. There is also an electricity substation at the northeastern corner of the site. A noise assessment has been undertaken taking account of the noise from these sources. From the findings, it is considered that any noise issues namely aircraft noise from RAF Waddington can be adequately overcome through careful design and the use of mitigation measures, including appropriate glazing and ventilation systems.
About our development www.taylorwimpey.co.uk/parkfarm Information about the site we need to take into account Existing trees and boundary hedgerows will be retained and enhanced where possible, while new tree planting will also be implemented. Areas of public space will be created for the enjoyment of new and existing residents and to enhance biodiversity. Sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) will be introduced to manage surface water runoff. Survey findings indicate the site has low potential for archaeological remains and that there are no designated heritage assets within the site. Ecology Findings from an ecological survey show that the majority of the site is generally of low ecological value. All of the existing trees lie outside of any conservation area and none of the trees on site, nor on land adjacent to the site, are covered by a Tree Preservation Order. Existing trees may be retained where possible, while new tree planting will be implemented to reflect the surrounding rural character. The boundary hedgerows at the site are not classed as Important according to the Hedgerow Regulations, however it is considered that they may provide suitable habitat for commuting and foraging bats. These hedgerows will therefore be retained where possible. There is no evidence of great crested newts or badgers. There was some evidence of nesting birds found along the site boundaries and it is recommended that any removal works required as part of the development be carried out outside of the bird nesting season. Areas of public open space will be designed to deliver a diverse range of benefits for both people and wildlife. Flood risk and drainage The proposed development site is located in Flood Zone 1, which means it is at the lowest risk of flooding from rivers and other watercourses (<1 in 1,000 year risk). The surface water drainage strategy for the site will include sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) to manage the runoff rate and volume, so that the post-development surface water run-off will not exceed that of the undeveloped site. This will help to ensure that there is no adverse impact on flood risk on the site and no increased flood risk to surrounding areas. The SuDS systems include measures such as attenuation basins, swales and permeable paving. An assessment of the local foul drainage network has been conducted, which confirms that the existing public sewerage system has adequate capacity to cope with the impact of the proposed development. Archaeology An archaeological assessment has established that there are no designated heritage assets within the site. Available archaeological records suggest that there is low potential for the site to contain significant archaeological remains. A geophysical survey of the site has also been undertaken which reinforces these findings. An artist s impression of a swale. Indicative swale section.
Development proposal Our proposed layout The image below shows an initial layout plan for our proposed development. It is intended as a general guide to show you how the properties, open space and internal roads could be arranged. This layout is not final and certain elements could be changed in our planning application, depending on the comments we receive during this public consultation and future discussions with the local authority. We welcome your comments on the suggested layout. Your feedback will be used to help us progress our designs as we finalise our planning application. Community contributions As well as providing much-needed high-quality homes for the local area, our proposed development will contribute towards a range of services and infrastructure provisions through a Section 106 Agreement. These matters will need to be agreed with the council and other service providers but will typically include: A proportion of affordable housing Provision of public open space Financial contributions to enhance existing bus service provision Improvements to pedestrian and cycle connectivity Education and healthcare contributions, where schools and doctors need to provide additional capacity to accommodate new residents. Up to 187 new homes. Areas of public open space. A proportion of affordable housing. Vehicle access from Grantham Road.

About Taylor Wimpey Information about our company, who we are and what we do This image shows our development in Bristol. Taylor Wimpey was formed by the merger of George Wimpey and Taylor Woodrow in 2007. We are able to draw upon experience and best practice gathered over a history dating back to the 19th Century. Today we are one of the largest homebuilders in the UK, completing over 13,000 homes each year. Planning sustainable communities We want our developments to be environmentally, socially and economically sustainable. We understand the importance of stimulating strong, vibrant and healthy communities while protecting and improving the natural, built and historic environment. More than building homes We build roads and junctions, sewers and utilities that link our developments with the surrounding areas. Where needed we provide community facilities such as schools, doctor s surgeries, shops and offices, bus stops and even railway stations, as well as much needed affordable homes. Such provision can help meet the day-to-day needs of the people living on, or near, our developments. Green spaces We design landscaping and open space to provide an attractive and safe setting for homes, recreational space for residents, and habitats for plants and wildlife. Green spaces could include tree or hedgerow planting, playgrounds or sports pitches. Energy efficient homes We look to reduce the energy demand of our homes by improving wall and roof insulation. In some cases we may also fit more complex technologies. This means that residents benefit from energy bill savings while their long term maintenance burden and costs are kept to a minimum. Engaging with local people We are committed to working with local people, community groups and local authorities during the planning phase and aim to keep them up to date with our activities and progress during construction. We aim to plan and design developments that balance the demands of our business with providing for the needs of our residents and their communities. For more information, visit: taylorwimpey.co.uk Our aim is to be the nation s leading residential developer for creating value and delivering quality. We are passionate about working with local people, businesses, local authorities and our customers to build aspirational homes. Taylor Wimpey lays the foundations for thriving communities We completed 13,341 homes in 2015, of which 19% were affordable homes. In 2015, through planning obligations, we invested 335m in the areas in which we built. We provide public transport, road improvements and education facilities on many developments. Landscaping and open space, including play areas and sports pitches, provide the structure to many of our developments.
