About Taylor Wimpey Information about our company, who we are and what we do 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 10,000 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 reduce the energy demand and carbon footprint of heating our homes by improving wall and roof insulation, before fitting complex technologies. This means that residents benefit from consistent 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. 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. For more information, visit: about.taylorwimpey.co.uk Taylor Wimpey lays the foundations for thriving communities We completed 10,886 homes in 2012, of which 1,946 (about 18%) were affordable homes. In 2012, through planning agreements, we spent over 175m 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. 23899_2_Moreton Hall L&P Boards_V3.indd 1 19/11/2013 10:42

Taylor Wimpey in your area Information about your local Taylor Wimpey office Although we are a national company, we work at a local level through 24 regional offices across the UK. Each of our regional offices employs local people from the areas in which it operates. This gives us the advantage of being able to combine the benefits of being a big company (such as the economy of scale and sharing best practice) with local knowledge and experience. Taylor Wimpey East Anglia is managing this scheme. By way of an introduction, here are a few details about this regional office: Address and key facts Office address Taylor Wimpey East Anglia Tartan House Etna Road Bury St Edmunds Suffolk IP33 1JF Number of staff directly employed in the region including office personnel, site managers, sales executives and various labourers on site. Number of private homes completed in 2012. Number of affordable homes completed in 2012. Contributions and expenditure made in 2012 through planning agreements for the provision of physical and community infrastructure, facilities and services. = 874 = 459 = 58 = 6,857,824 Taylor Wimpey a national company and local homebuilder We provide support and funding for various homeless charities: Centrepoint is our national charity; Taylor Wimpey is a patron of CRASH; and our Group Chief Executive is a trustee of CRISIS. At the start of 2012 across the UK we had 98 employees on apprentice schemes, 54 on management trainee schemes, and 16 on our intensive graduate scheme. We engage with schools local to our developments to educate children in how to stay safe and ensure they understand that building sites are dangerous and are never somewhere to play. 23899_2_Moreton Hall L&P Boards_V3.indd 2 19/11/2013 10:42

About Our Scheme Welcome to our public exhibition A planning application will be submitted at a later date, however we are initially consulting on a Masterplan Document before submitting it to St Edmundsbury Borough Council for formal adoption as planning guidance. The Masterplan Document will then form the basis for any future planning applications to be considered and determined against. This exhibition gives you the chance to view our preliminary plans for a mixed-use development comprising approximately 500 new homes on land at Moreton Hall, Bury St Edmunds. Today s event follows an exhibition we held in the summer, the feedback from which was used to amend the masterplan we are presenting today. We are currently fine tuning our proposals for this site, and we want to know what you think about the plans. Masterplan The Masterplan illustrates the development of the whole site, and closely follows the layout principle set out in the adopted Concept Statement as part of the Bury St Edmunds Vision 2031 document. The masterplan will include approximately 500 new homes, a secondary school, a local centre, allotments and open space. It is envisaged that it will provide funding for the Eastern Relief Road which in turn will unlock employment land that will significantly contribute to the 13,000 additional jobs that the core strategy hopes to deliver through the plan period. The following boards provide details of our proposals, the planning background of the area and the issues which have been considered in the preparation of the masterplan. Please take some time to read through the boards and feel free to speak to a member of the project team if you have any questions. You can help to shape the plans by filling in one of the feedback forms provided today or alternatively feel free to take this home and complete at your own leisure, returning to the address by Friday 20th December. You can also complete the feedback form online by visiting www.taylorwimpey.co.uk/ in-your-area and searching for Moreton Hall. About our plans Masterplan drawn up for the whole of the site. Consultation with local and statutory stakeholders to inform masterplan content. Masterplan includes approximately 500 homes. Masterplan includes school, local centre, allotments and open space. Masterplan to be adopted by St Edmundsbury Borough Council. A planning application will be submitted to borough council at a later date. 23899_2_Moreton Hall L&P Boards_V3.indd 3 19/11/2013 10:43

About Our Scheme Around 500 homes of mixed tenure and size, including affordable properties Improved public transport, pedestrian and cycle links to the town centre and other significant leisure, employment and service destinations Planning history of the site The enabling of potential transport links to the north of the railway line Bury St Edmunds Vision 2031 The proposed development site at Moreton Hall has been allocated for development in St Edmundsbury Borough Council s Vision 2031 Local Plan Document. Vision 2031 provides the vision and planning framework, including site allocations, for Bury St Edmunds up to 2031. Core Strategy St Edmundsbury Borough Council s Core Strategy identifies five broad locations for development around Bury St Edmunds. One of these is to the east of the town, with Moreton Hall a preferred location for development. The Core Strategy specified the following to be included in the future development of the area: Provision for a secondary school New recreation and community facilities, including the relocation of Bury Town Football Club. Whilst the Core Strategy identifies directions for strategic growth, it does not define specific boundaries for that growth. The drawing of those boundaries has been defined by local environmental constraints and opportunities as part of the preparation of concept statements. The concept statements were adopted by the council in May 2013. In defining the Moreton Hall site and its boundaries, careful regard has been paid to: Ensure flying operations at Rougham Airfield are not compromised by the development Ensure the development is easily accessible for cyclists and pedestrians from the existing Moreton Hall development, the future strategic growth area to the north of the railway line, Suffolk Business Park and the strategic growth area south-west of the A14. Taylor Wimpey s plans In line with the site allocation and concept plan, Taylor Wimpey is now consulting upon a Masterplan for the development at Moreton Hall: The Masterplan illustrates where the following uses of land will be located across the entire Moreton Hall site residential land, secondary school and playing fields, local centre, allotments, open space, play areas for children of various ages, landscaping and internal roads, drainage infrastructure. This exhibition provides an opportunity for residents and stakeholders to comment on and to inform the content of the Masterplan. Key points Council s Core Strategy identified Moreton Hall as preferred development location. Core Strategy sets out what development needs to include, e.g. homes, school and facilities. Vision 2031 provides the guidelines for developing the land. Taylor Wimpey s masterplan shows general location of homes, the school, open space, allotments, etc. Proposals have been amended following comments at previous consultation event. You can comment on the Masterplan today. 23899_2_Moreton Hall L&P Boards_V3.indd 4 19/11/2013 10:43

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 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. Relationship with the surrounding area The Eastern Growth Area is not located close to any villages Thurston is more than 3km away to the east of the railway line. Development in the Eastern Growth Area would not lead to coalescence with any neighbouring villages. A detailed Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment has been undertaken and concludes that there are several opportunities to link to the existing areas of open space to the west and to the runways associated with the airfield to the east. These opportunities will ensure that the proposals sit comfortably within the localised setting and reflect key features which characterise the landscape context of the site. Ecology Ecology surveys of the site have been undertaken, including a habitat survey and specific surveys for badger and bats. These have found the majority of the site to be dominated by arable land providing few opportunities for wildlife. Habitats of interest for wildlife are generally limited to boundary features including hedgerows and a small area of woodland. These areas provide opportunities for wildlife such as badger and nesting birds, and provide feeding areas for bats. As such, these features will be protected and enhanced under the proposals. There are also opportunities to provide pedestrian and cycle links to the existing residential and employment areas to the west, to the wider footpath and cycle path networks to the north and south and a potential link to the Rougham Industrial Estate. Landscape An assessment of the landscape and visual matters arising from the development was also conducted. Existing vegetation and built form associated with the urban edge visually contain the site, limiting longer distance views. Views of the site are confined to Lady Miriam Way, shown below in Photograph 1 and glimpses from the A14. The railway line and A14 road corridor form robust edges which physically contain the site together with Rougham Airfield and Rougham Industrial Estate to the east. This parcel of land presents a natural urban extension. A comprehensive landscape strategy will ensure that the edges of the site create a robust and defensible green buffer, and that the proposed development will be integrated without detriment to the localised or wider visual environment. The site viewed from Lady Miriam Way Things to think about Eastern Growth Area located more than 3km from the nearest village. Development site is contained by A14, the railway line, Rougham Airfield and Rougham Industrial Estate. The site represents a natural urban extension. Several opportunities exist to link to adjacent open space, Rougham Airfield and local employment and residential areas. Ecology surveys show few opportunities for wildlife across majority of site. Badgers, bats and nesting birds in boundary hedgerows and woodland will be protected. 23899_2_Moreton Hall L&P Boards_V3.indd 5 19/11/2013 10:43

Site considerations RAILWAY CROSSING RAILWAY LINE CAMBRIDGE- IPSWICH PEDESTRIANS RAILWAY UNDERPASS Information about the site we need to take into account BLACKBIRD DR EXISTING RESIDENTIAL MOUNT ROAD KINGSBURY GRANGE MOUNT ROAD AIRFIELD ROAD LADY MIRIAM WAY Transport Residential development in the Eastern Growth Area, alongside the western expansion of Suffolk Business Park, would assist in securing delivery of the Eastern Relief Road. The highway improvements could not be funded solely by employment development. The Eastern Relief Road would benefit the surrounding area and provide improved access to Moreton Hall. It would also improve access to existing and planned employment areas, making them more attractive to businesses. PRIMACK ROAD ST. EDMUNDS GATE SKYLINER WAY A Transport Assessment is being prepared to inform development at the site. This will have regard to a wider strategic transportation study that is also currently being prepared based upon traffic data collected during 2011/12. The traffic data collected for the eastern area is considered sufficient by Suffolk County Council to scope the development of a Transport Assessment for the proposed development of Moreton Hall. It will be used to assess highway capacity and public transport provision and the need for additional public transport provision and cycle routes. Drainage The site is identified on the Environment Agency flood map as within Flood Zone 1, which means it is at the lowest risk of flooding. A Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) will be needed to consider drainage and other potential sources of flooding to demonstrate that surface water drainage can be managed on site and will not increase flood risk elsewhere. An initial FRA has been produced which shall be updated to reflect the layout proposed. Surface water run-off can be discharged to the public sewer; however, part of the site may be suitable for disposal of surface water run-off via infiltration (i.e. allowing it to soak naturally into the ground). In such areas suitably designed infiltration features will be used in accordance with best practice. Foul water drainage can be discharged to the public sewer; however, due to the size of the development Anglian Water has requested a detailed study to assess capacity and to determine any suitable mitigation measures which may be required, and this will be carried out prior to the planning application being submitted. Overall, there are no significant constraints to development in terms of flooding and drainage. Noise A Noise and Vibration Assessment has been undertaken to determine the suitability of the site for residential use and other sensitive development. The Noise Assessment focused on noise from the A14 and other roads, the Cambridge-Ipswich railway line, and aircraft movements and outdoor entertainment events at Rougham Airfield. The Vibration Assessment was undertaken because the northern part of the site is close to the railway line and it is typical for ground-borne vibration levels to be assessed in such circumstances. The findings of the assessments indicate that noise will have a strong influence on the layout, in terms of the location of particular uses, but vibration will not. In broad terms, the predicted noise levels explain why residential development is located in the northern part of the site and employment uses are directed to the southern part. Historic environment Rougham Airfield is of historic importance and would be retained as part of development in the Eastern Growth Area. A desk based assessment of the site shows that archaeology will not have a strong influence on the layout of the proposed development. Previous archaeological excavations in adjacent sites have demonstrated that areas of archaeological features could be identified through evaluation trenches and preserved by record through archaeological excavation. We would expect similar mitigation measures to be put in place for the proposed development of the site. Things to think about Residential development in Eastern Growth Area will assist in delivery of Eastern Relief Road. Provision of the Eastern Relief Road will unlock land to provide employment opportunities. The site is located in Flood Zone 1 (lowest flood risk). Some surface water run-off may drain into the existing public sewer network and some via infiltration. Noise considerations will influence the layout of the proposed scheme. Any archaeological features present on site to be excavated and preserved by record. 23899_2_Moreton Hall L&P Boards_V3.indd 6 19/11/2013 10:43

About Our Scheme RAILWAY LINE EXISTING RESIDENTIAL LEAP Urban design EXISTING COTTAGES MOUNT ROAD rationale MOUNT ROAD KINGSBURY GRANGE EXISTING PUB FLYING FORTRESS LADY MIRIAM WAY The design strategy has been informed by the adopted concept plan and the following: the mix of uses and the amount of land required for each use on site; OPEN SPACE TO SCHOOL the constraints of the site and surroundings, for example, the airfield and safeguarded flight approach paths; the outcome of the community consultation the findings of the technical studies. The design strategy will also be based on good urban design principles and the overall vision for the proposed development. Using the Concept Plan from Vision 2031 as a base, a Masterplan for the whole site has been prepared. ST EDMUNDS GATE FLIGHT SAFE GUARD ZONE The Masterplan incorporates the uses from the Concept Plan and broadly determines where the main features of the development will be located, including site access and the movement framework, with other important aspects of the design such as its green spaces and drainage methods. The key characteristics of the scheme Residential: located in northern part of site next to existing residential areas Allotments: located next to Local Centre with connections to large open space adjoining existing residential areas Business park: the scheme will be designed to provide sustainable links to the new Business Park to the south of the proposed masterplan area. The masterplan for the new Business Park was previously adopted in 2010. Eastern Relief Road: the route has been revised to include access to the proposed secondary school, community football facility and employment land in this location. Open Space: throughout the development Secondary School: in an accessible location for existing and future residents of Moreton Hall and to the road network for non-moreton Hall residents; adjacent to the community football facility to take advantage of opportunities to share common facilities, including playing fields under airfield approach path Location of main features Homes located in northern part of site, near to existing residential areas. Community football facility located at southern end of site. School to be in accessible location, and next to football facility. Open space provided throughout development. Allotments and playing fields located near existing open space. Eastern Relief Road route takes new school into account. 23899_2_Moreton Hall L&P Boards_V3.indd 7 19/11/2013 10:43

Scheme Proposal Our landscaping proposals The project team are working to create a high-quality development which not only includes new homes, but has an extensive soft landscaping scheme at its heart to create a place in which to live, work and play. Our landscape strategy seeks to present a robust landscape buffer to external boundaries, offering a green edge to the development and enhancements to ecological corridors. Furthermore, a hierarchy of streetscenes has been proposed, creating a variety in street character across the scheme. For example, primary roads are typified by wide grass verges and a double avenue of street trees. A network of pedestrian greenways is also proposed to link an array of public open spaces dotted throughout the scheme. Such public spaces form focal points which in some cases present drainage basins as landscape features, whilst also providing new habitats for species such as amphibians and aquatic insects. A linear park and green corridors are key features of the scheme, while a variety of playspaces are proposed to appeal to toddlers, older children and teenagers. Key Facts Pedestrian greenways to link public open space. Landscaped edge to the site will offer biodiversity and ecological corridors. A range of playspaces for all ages. Drainage basins form landscape features, provide new habitats of ecological value. Enhancements to approach into Bury St Edmunds and setting to Moreton Hall. Linear Park to provide improved pedestrian access to Cattishall. 23899_2_Moreton Hall L&P Boards_V3.indd 8 19/11/2013 10:43

Scheme Proposal How the new homes could look The scale and appearance of the proposed homes will follow the established palette of Taylor Wimpey properties developed immediately to the west of the site. The new properties will easily blend in with their surroundings and will appear as a continuation of the established design theme of the area. The specific mix, elevations and detailing of the homes are matters which will be detailed at planning application stage. The local centre units will be of a bespoke design, while matters such as the detailed design of the school will be prepared by Suffolk County Council and the subject of a future planning application. Examples of a variety of Taylor Wimpey homes Key Facts Scale and appearance of homes will follow the established palette of neighbouring Taylor Wimpey homes. Landscaped streets will create a pleasant green environment. New homes will blend in with neighbouring developments. Suffolk County Council to prepare designs for the school. 23899_2_Moreton Hall L&P Boards_V3.indd 9 19/11/2013 10:43

Economic Benefits of Development Moreton Hall What has our previous scheme brought to the area? The development of new homes has real lasting benefits for the local economy. Our previous Kingsbury Grange and St Edmunds Gate developments at Moreton Hall delivered approximately 1,000 new homes, while providing a host of benefits to the local community. The range of community benefits are outlined on this board. Public open space Taylor Wimpey provided St Edmundsbury Borough Council with more than 230,000 to build a multi-use games area (MUGA) suitable for basketball and small-sided games of football which is currently being laid out. The house-builder has also provided the land for this area within the designated open space. Taylor Wimpey has also made a contribution of more than 500,000 for maintenance of the public open space which will be adopted and managed by the borough council plus more than 300,000 towards structural landscaped areas in Kingsbury Grange and St Edmunds Gate. Education Taylor Wimpey has provided 4.8 hectares of land for the construction of education facilities with additional contributions of more than 1.66m towards education costs. Highways Taylor Wimpey has provided Suffolk County Council with 75,000 towards the provision and future maintenance of toucan crossings within the scheme. Public transport Taylor Wimpey has provided Suffolk County Council with 168,000 towards the improvement of bus services between the site and Bury town centre. Affordable homes Taylor Wimpey provided a range of new homes to meet local need including 198 affordable homes for groups such as key workers, first-time buyers and those taking the next step on the housing ladder this has included 52 Very Sheltered Housing units for the elderly. Libraries Taylor Wimpey provided Suffolk County Council with a financial contribution of 49,680 towards library services. Waste Taylor Wimpey provided Suffolk County Council with 107,870 towards waste and recycling services in addition to the provision of wheelie bins and compost bins for each home. Footpath/cycleway links Taylor Wimpey has provided St Edmundsbury Borough Council with more than 50,000 to improve cyclist and pedestrian routes to link the site to the town centre. Previous economic benefits overview Major contributions of land and funding for public open spaces. Funding for improvements to highways and public transport. More than 1.6 million contributions for education. Funding for libraries, waste and recycling services. Provision of land for new primary and middle school. Provision of affordable homes. 23899_2_Moreton Hall L&P Boards_V3.indd 10 19/11/2013 10:43

Economic Benefits of Development Moreton Hall What will our scheme bring to the area? The construction of 500 homes at Moreton Hall provides an opportunity to bring benefits for both existing and new residents in the form of new facilities, local improvements and economic benefits. The range of community benefits are outlined on this board. Highways New Relief Road Taylor Wimpey will fund the Eastern Relief Road (ERR) in Bury St Edmunds. The ERR is a major piece of infrastructure required to link the eastern edge of Moreton Hall to the A14 at Junction 45. The ERR would also relieve the congestion caused by traffic queuing to access the A14 via Junction 44. At present, all of the traffic aiming to travel east (towards Ipswich) along the A14 from Moreton Hall and the eastern side of Bury St Edmunds has to use junction 44 causing congestion and delays. The provision of the ERR would enable this traffic to access the A14 at junction 45, thus freeing up junction 44, which in turn would free junction 43 (the central interchange) which is also at peak-time capacity. The Eastern Relief Road cost is estimated to be 14m, plus 4m for services. Education Following initial discussions with Suffolk County Council, the development site allows for a secondary school site to be included on approximately eight hectares of land to be provided by Taylor Wimpey. Financial contributions towards education are expected to be sought by Suffolk County Council, which is responsible for ensuring sufficient school places are available. Creation of jobs The provision of the Eastern Relief Road via Taylor Wimpey s proposals, shall unlock the expansion of the Suffolk Business Park bringing forward significant new business and employment opportunities to the area, given the site s easily accessible and attractive location. Public open space Taylor Wimpey will make contributions to St Edmundsbury Borough Council to build a new equipped play area within the development, with Taylor Wimpey also providing the land for this area within the designated open space. Allotments Taylor Wimpey will make available a parcel of land adjacent to the school for an area of allotments offering residents a place to grow their own food and plants. The allotments could be designed to allow for a central communal seating area to encourage social interaction and create a focus within these green corridors. Community A new local centre with shops for the community may be built, or financial contributions made to assist in improving the existing community hall. Footpath/cycleway links Taylor Wimpey will make further contributions to improve cyclist and pedestrian routes to link the site to Bury town centre. Public transport Taylor Wimpey will make further contributions towards the improvement of bus services between the site and the town centre. New Homes Bonus An investment of approximately 4 million will be received by St Edmundsbury Borough Council and Suffolk County Council from the New Homes Bonus Scheme, which has been set up by the Government to benefit local communities when accommodating new development. Affordable homes Taylor Wimpey will make provision for a range of affordable homes to meet local need, including homes for key workers, the elderly, first-time buyers and those taking the next step on the housing ladder. Taylor Wimpey will make a financial contribution for maintenance of the public open space which will be adopted and managed by the borough council. Economic benefits overview New Homes Bonus of approximately 4 million. Contributions to libraries, waste and recycling services. Site for new secondary school. Funding and land provided for play areas on site. Funding of Eastern Relief Road. Contributions for public transport improvements. 23899_2_Moreton Hall L&P Boards_V3.indd 11 19/11/2013 10:43

Working on site Being considerate of our neighbours and the environment whilst building Health, Safety and Environmental Management Health and safety for our workers, visitors and the local community is our highest priority. It is managed through comprehensive procedures including clear signage, control of traffic, school visits and ongoing communication with neighbouring home owners and the local community. Environmental disturbance, including noise and dust, is kept to a minimum on our sites, with a focus on preventing pollution, managing waste and protecting the natural environment. All of our sites are independently audited for Health, Safety and Environment on a monthly basis as a minimum. Before any site commences a Construction Phase Health & Safety Plan and a Site Specific Environmental Action Plan are prepared to ensure proper control of HSE matters. Construction Activities and the Community Disturbances to the community while we are working on site will be kept to a minimum. Our sites are kept clean and orderly and operatives maintain a high standard of behaviour. Hours of operation, including for deliveries, are carefully managed. Where possible separate parking is provided for operatives to minimise traffic congestion. Taylor Wimpey care about resources and the environment A current Taylor Wimpey home would require around a third of the energy needed to heat a similar sized 1980 s home which helps keep living costs down.
