Planning Committee Agenda Item 8 13 April 2011 11/00126/F 4.4 The flood plain defines the developable area in this respect and therefore creates open areas at the edge of development that will be utilised as visual breaks, areas of landscaping or for outdoor recreational uses. The tree belts form strong features running north-south through the site, which again allow significant spacing between built form, and create landscaped avenues that would complement internal areas of open space. 4.5 The Fastway bus route would pass through the development and leave the site onto Langshott by the neighbourhood centre. Only buses would be allowed to exit the site in this manner, ensured by the presence of an automatic bus gate. 4.6 Housing would be laid out in the form of perimeter blocks of appropriate sizes on either side of the main spine road. These blocks would vary in character to reflect their position within the hierarchy of areas that make up the phase, and ultimately part of the overall neighbourhood. This approach is encouraged in both the Horley Design Guide and Surrey Design, which refers to the importance of distinct character areas such as: The neighbourhood core: to include formal spaces; close-knit development; doors fronting streets with short front gardens; a mix of dwelling sizes; landmark buildings; a range of dwelling heights; traditional materials; and secure rear courtyards for parking with some on street designated bays. Transitional area: to include a more regular road pattern; roads incorporating a number of character areas; dwellings fronting roads and main footpaths or cycle routes; shorter terraces of dwellings; a lower density; larger gardens with space to park behind building lines; and terraced parking in rear courtyards. Countryside edge: to include as above but more spacious development; lower densities; larger buildings of more individual design fronting onto the countryside; high quality design; less regular building lines; and limited on street parking. 4.7 The use of air source heat pumps and solar panels would be utilised to ensure that a minimum of 10% of the development’s energy needs are met from renewable sources. It is expected that the detailed design of the new school will add to this. 4.8 Further details of the development are as follows: Site area Proposed parking spaces Parking standard 11.2 hectares 447 (including 49 visitor spaces)* 462 (maximum) M:\BDS\DM\Ctreports 2010-11\Meeting 13- 13 April 2011\Agreed Reports\04.01778.RM13 - Horley NE Sector Phase 2.docx
