The proposals include attractively designed areas of public open space including children’s play areas and a circa 1km trail around the site bringing opportunities for recreation, relaxation and health, together with improved connections to Warth Country Park. By enhancing on-site habitats, we will be able to deliver a biodiversity net gain.

An Ecological Assessment has been prepared, together with a Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment and Landscape Plan.

Davidsons’ homes are already energy efficient and they are taking this one step further with their new Homes of the Future. The homes are still characteristically Davidsons; just more efficient, saving even more money and being even kinder to the planet. For more information, please click the link below:

It is expected that Davidsons Homes will make contributions to the improvement of local infrastructure and services through a Section 106 legal agreement. The package of on-site infrastructure and off-site contributions will be refined once a planning application has been submitted. Contributions could include education, community facilities, healthcare, recreation, public transport and libraries.

A Flood Risk Assessment and Drainage Strategy has been prepared for the proposed development. This is based on best practice measures for surface water drainage and foul water drainage.

This initial work has resulted in a proposed surface water drainage strategy, that will attenuate surface water on the site, through the use of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) with the appropriate speed of release at greenfield run off rates.

SuDS play an important role in both managing surface water and providing opportunities for biodiversity enhancement by providing habitat for a variety of species.

Anglian Water have confirmed that a connection point for sewerage on the London Road is appropriate and that the existing network has capacity.
