QUAKERS WALK, DEVIZES Boundary Treatments with Existing Development along Roundway Park and Parkfields 4.18 The Kennet Local Plan requires that development proposals respect the amenity of adjacent land uses and residents along Roundway Park and Parkfields. There is no specific requirement for a landscape buffer, although feedback at the initial consultation events indicated an underlying aspiration among existing residents to distance themselves from their new neighbours. 4.19 The proposed boundary treatment along Roundway Park and Parkfields is discussed in Section 5.0 of this Planning Brief. Helicopter Zone 4.20 WSP Development prepared a Noise Assessment to inform discussions at the Local Plan Public Inquiry. This principally addressed noise issues associated with the use of the helipad, within the grounds of the Police Constabulary HQ. 4.21 A building exclusion zone of 150 metres has been applied to the helipad. This includes a small area of land at the south eastern edge of the proposed development area. No new development of residential or school buildings will be possible in this area of land. Any new development near the exclusion zone will need to have regard to the potential disturbance arising from incoming and outgoing helicopters. 4.22 The noise assessment concluded that no mitigation measures were considered necessary. However, as a design guide, residential properties located close to the helipad should be orientated such that, as far as possible, the angle of view to the helipad is minimised. This may include properties with gable-ends towards the helipad or angled obliquely. Flood issues 4.23 The Quakers Walk site lies within Flood Risk Zone 1 (low risk). Nonetheless, the Environment Agency has confirmed that a Flood Risk Assessment will be required for submission alongside the outline planning application. This is principally to address the potential impact on flood risk from the surface water drainage from the development.

QUAKERS WALK, DEVIZES Primary School Location Site Constraints Summary 4.24 Policy HC28 of the Kennet Local Plan and the Devizes Strategic Development Brief confirm that a new primary school is required on the Quakers Walk site to meet the educational needs arising from the new population generated by housing proposals in the Local Plan. The Kennet Local Plan allocates a site in the north east of the Quakers Walk development area for provision of a 7- form primary school. It was agreed with the Local Education Authority and St Peter’s School Governors at the initial consultation stage that proposals would be taken forward for a larger combined school, requiring a total site area of 1.45 hectares. Figure 4.7: Site constraints summary 4.25 In consequence the total area proposed for development will have some boundary variations from that allocated in the adopted Kennet Local Plan. This is to accommodate the increased area required for the enlarged new primary school (an additional 0.2 hectares). Kennet District Council does not regard this boundary amendment as a material change. The precise site boundary for the Quakers Walk site will be agreed at the planning application stage. 4.26 The preferred location for the new school is discussed in detail at Section 5.0 of this Planning Brief. The relationship between the new school, Roundway Park, the principal access points and boundary treatments with existing residential development has been carefully considered.
