The Proposed Development

The proposed development on the site has been informed by a constraints-led masterplanning exercise and pre-application discussion with the Council.

The proposal presents the opportunity to support the existing strong and cohesive community of Stoney Stanton through additional affordable housing, public open space and management of the landscape.

Key elements of the proposal at Land South of Broughton Road, Stoney Stanton include:

  • Provision of 31 new affordable homes;
  • Creation of a greener edge to the village through the use of a high-quality landscaping scheme;
  • Provision of 10% biodiversity net gain;
  • Creation of an access to Broughton Road for pedestrians, cyclist and vehicles, alongside a pedestrian connection to South Drive;
  • Creation of a Sustainable Drainage System which will improve the resilience of the wider area to flooding.

Concept Plan

The concept masterplan (shown below), shows that the proposed development will provide public open space to be used by future residents and the wider community, will retain trees and hedgerows and facilitate green infrastructure planting along the eastern site boundary.

 

 

The Benefits of the Proposed Developments

  • The residential proposal at Broughton Road will provide 31 new affordable homes and a good level of useable public open space. The proposal will retain and enhance the existing vegetation where achievable. The proposal will also provide contributions to local services and facilities to mitigate its impact, such as, for local schools.
  • The proposal will be supported by a comprehensive landscape scheme which will deliver new tree planting, recreation provision and public open space. The proposals seek to retain and enhance the natural landscape buffers through additional planting and support a 10% biodiversity net gain.
  • The proposal will stimulate the local economy through the additional spending from both the construction itself within local supply chains as well as that of future residents of the housing site on local services.
  • Provide a high quality landscaped green edge to the west of the site, which will lessen the impact of the development upon the countryside.
