1.0 IntroductionThis document has been prepared byBasingstoke and Deane Borough Councilas supplementary planning guidance forland at Old Kempshott Lane, Basingstoke.The Basingstoke and Deane BoroughLocal Plan shows how the BoroughCouncil intends meeting the HampshireCounty Council Structure Planrequirements for 8,700 dwellingswithin the Borough between April1991 and March 2001.Following the Local Plan Inspector’srecommendation, the adopted Local Planallocates some 13 Hectares of landbetween Old Kempshott Lane and therailway line for residential development ofabout 200 houses with access from OldKempshott Lane.The development brief has been preparedin accordance with the policies andproposals outlined in the Borough LocalPlan. It identifies the requirement for a mixof housing to be provided as set out in theSection on housing.The Local Authority has consulted residentsand met with key members of localcommunity groups and organisations in theBuckskin and Worting area to discuss theirconcerns and ideas for the development.Their comments and suggestions have beenacknowledged where possible in theproposals for the site.The Borough Council appreciates thepublic interest in new development and itseffects on settled communities. The localcommunity, their elected representativesand particularly those who live nearby, areoften the most knowledgeable about thearea. It is these local views and aspirations,which can help in deciding the sort ofdevelopment to be provided and its linkswith the existing community.Enquiries and comments relating to theproposals should be addressed to:Director of Planning and TransportationBasingstoke and Deane Borough CouncilCivic Offices London Road BasingstokeRG21 4AHIf you would like more information oradvice, please contact:John Guppy on 01256 845462.old kempshott lane development brief

2.0 Purpose of the BriefThe Brief aims to provide supplementaryguidance to the developer and otherinterested parties. It explains the principlesand design parameters that the BoroughCouncil wishes to see included in a MasterPlan for the site and illustrates how thoseprinciples can be achieved in practice. TheBrief elaborates on the proposals andpolicies of the Local Plan and should beread in conjunction with that document.The Borough Council wishes toimprove the quality of new housingdevelopment and actively encouragesa greater effort in raising the overallstandard of design.The Borough Council will require planningapplications to be supported by a MasterPlan and Design Statement setting out theprinciples and objectives to be taken intoaccount in the development.old kempshott lane development brief

3.0 Status of the BriefThe brief has been adopted by Basingstokeand Deane Borough Council assupplementary planning guidance. Itprovides planning and design guidance forthe developer and planning authority indetermining subsequent planningapplications. This will include any outlineplanning applications, detailed proposalsand necessary legal agreements coveringthe provision of affordable housing andrelated infrastructure.In accordance with government guidancethe Local Plan identifies the need for thepublic sector to obtain appropriatedeveloper’s contributions towardsinfrastructure and community facilities. TheBorough Council has therefore set out inthe brief the obligations on the developer toprovide the necessary infrastructure requiredto serve the proposed development and tomeet the additional demands that will bemade on the existing community.The Borough Council and the CountyCouncil will expect to enter into anappropriate legal agreement with thedeveloper indicating when theinfrastructure is to be provided or afinancial contribution is to be made.Planning applications will not bedetermined until relevant legal agreementshave been finalised.plan 1 “ © Crown copyright.

4.0 Vision for the SiteSuburban extensions to existing townsare often criticised for the lack ofidentity, variety and treatment ofspace. The overriding design objectivesare therefore to achieve a new housingenvironment with variety and a clearsense of place.The housing layout, transport network anduse of space will often influence people’sperception of a place and help createinterest and identity. The use of streets,squares and open space is seen as a keyelement of a successful design. Indeed, thedesign and enclosure of spaces betweenhouses is considered to be as important asthe design of the individual housesthemselves.This brief aims to provide a clearframework in planning and design terms toenable an attractive development to takeplace in relation to its setting on the edgeof the urban area of the town and itsassociation with the existing community.old kempshott lane development brief

5.0 Summary of Main ProposalsHousingThe Local Plan under Policy H2 (xix)allocates some 13.0 hectares (32 acres) ofland for residential development withaccess from Old Kempshott Lane. Aminimum of 20% of the dwellings will beaffordable houses for rent.Open SpaceApproximately 2.1 hectares (5 acres) hasbeen allocated under Local Plan Policy ORT104 (xxi) for the provision of a WoodlandPark within the site. The existingRecreation Ground that is located on thenorthern edge of the development area isto remain as informal open space as partof the overall scheme for the development.There will also be a need to retain existinglandscape features where possible, providean equipped play area and amenity openspace within the site, including land forallotments and new landscape planting.Community InfrastructureThe developer will be required to provideon and off site infrastructure arising fromthe needs of the proposed development.including contributions towards the provisionof local community facilities and theimprovement of swimming facilities underthe Borough Council’s Swimming Strategy.SchoolsThe County Education Officer hasconfirmed that children of primary schoolage living on the proposed developmentcould take up existing capacity at WortingInfant and Junior Schools.TransportThe development is likely to createadditional traffic movements during amand pm peak times. A TransportationImpact Assessment (TIA) has beencommissioned by the Borough Council.This has determined the need for newtransport measures, including improvedbus services and traffic management withinthe locality.The existing public footpath that followsthe southern boundary of the site will beretained and new footpath and cyclewaylinks provided to existing facilities. It isproposed to continue the Western CycleRoute alongside Old Kempshott Lane whereit abuts the eastern boundary of the site.The development will also be required tomake land available for a possible futurerailway station including the provision forparking and also address the problem ofnoise from the adjoining railway line.The development as indicated atPlan 3 will provide:Net housing area 7.50 haWoodland Park2.10 haExisting recreation ground 0.80 haStructure planting 1.55 haStation car park0.80 haAllotments0.25 haTotal13.00 haold kempshott lane development brief

6.0 Planning and Design ContextLocation, Context and SettingThe site is located on the western edge ofBasingstoke Town. It is situated oppositeWorting Infant’s School off Old KempshottLane, approximately 150 meters south ofthe B3400 Worting Road. It is roughlytriangular in shape, lying between the lineof the former Roman Road (Old KempshottLane) and the adjoining railway line.The southwest boundary is defined bypublic footpath No 21 that runs betweenOld Kempshott Lane and a footbridge thatcrosses the railway line.21KeyPublic Rights of WayFootpath LinksContours at 1 metre intervalsExisiting treesExisting HedgerowsRoute of Roman RoadWorting Conservation AreaArchaeologyTo the northeast there is an existinggrassed kickabout area and a paddock onthe former cricket ground with someboundary hedgerows and trees. The siteextends further to the southwest across agently undulating arable field with openviews towards Pack Lane. Old KempshottLane is bordered by an existing hedgerowto the site and a variety of single and twostorey dwellings on its southern side withvehicular access to both Hampshire Closeand Highlands Road.plan 2 “ © Crown copyright. All rights reserved Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council 100019356 (2000).”old kempshott lane development brief

Views across the site from OldKempshott Lane are currently restrictedby the thick hedgerow that abuts the sitealong its boundary with the road,although there are gaps in the hedge atthe northern end near to the recreationground and adjoining a small electricitysub station near to the beginning offootpath No 38. The site is readily visiblefrom footpath No 21 with viewssouthwards to Pack Lane and northwardsover the railway to the skyline aboveWorting House. Footpath No 38 extendssouthwards from Old Kempshott Lanealong a narrow track between the siteand the rear boundary of propertiesfronting the lane to its connection tofootpath No 21.The Borough Council places considerableimportance on achieving a high standardof design in new residential developmentand will promote the positive factors in thedesign process that can influence theappearance and quality of any newdevelopment. The proposed developmentwill be expected to conform with thegeneral criteria outlined in Policy GS1 andthe particular design requirements of theLocal Plan and other Appendices attachedto this brief. In this respect the BoroughCouncil will expect the developer toprovide a clear statement of designphilosophy in support of any planningapplication for development.The principal objective of the DesignStatement is to enable the applicant todemonstrate to the Borough Council theobjectives they have taken into account inthe design process and the production ofthe Master Plan.The Borough Council will therefore look atways of encouraging a greater designeffort in co-operation with the developer.The following guidelines are intended tohighlight the necessary process anddetailed analysis that the Borough Councilconsiders important in order to meet theCouncil’s objectives:❑ Site Appraisal and Analysis❑ Landscape and Development❑ Design Principles❑ Site Appraisal and AnalysisDistrict and County planning authorities inHampshire have jointly prepared aLandscape and Development Checklist (3rdEdition 1995). A summary of the Checklistrelating to the site survey and analysis isoutlined and should be considered by thedeveloper prior to submitting a planningapplication.It is intended that the use of this Checklistwill encourage a comprehensive analysis ofthe site. It includes the general location,context and proximity to existingdevelopment, roads, footpaths/cycle routesand public transport routes to enable thesefactors to be reflected in the overall designconcept for the new development.old kempshott lane development brief

6.0 Planning and Design Context❑ Landscape and DevelopmentIt is to the advantage of the developer totreat the environmental and landscapeaspects of the proposals carefully and takeappropriate professional advice wherenecessary. This will enable the planningapplication to be processed more quicklyand will increase the likelihood of afavourable decision. If the planningsubmission does not demonstrate thatenvironmental and landscape aspects ofthe proposed development have been fullyconsidered and satisfactorily incorporatedinto the site planning process and schemedesign, then the Borough Council mayneed to negotiate changes which coulddelay the consideration of the application.The outline landscape design shouldinvolve a Site Survey and Analysis includingconsideration of the following:■ Identification of areas or features tobe retained, those suitable fordevelopment; those for enhancementor removal (consider means of access,contractors working areas).■ Measures for protection orenhancement of retainedareas/features.■ Measures to mitigate adverseeffects of development e.g.screening, ground modelling,acoustic barriers.■ Measures to respond to or enhancethe character of the site and itslandscape setting, to complementform, massing and scale ofdevelopment.■ Objectives for landscape provisionincluding an indication ofresponsibilities of areas formaintenance, i.e. local or highwayauthority/private owner/otherarrangement.Site SurveyPhysical characteristics of the siteand its setting:■ Landscape character, geology / soilsand contours and levels.■ Drainage (natural and man-made).■ Vegetation and Natural Featuresincluding measured tree survey.■ Wildlife habitats and species.■ Climate/Microclimate.■ Historical and Archeological features.■ Views into and out of site.■ Existing services(above and below ground).■ Site boundaries (location, type).■ Access, roads, greenways, paths,bridleways, cycle routes (on siteand adjoining land).old kempshott lane development brief

Site AnalysisInterpretation of Site Survey - significanceof site features, constraints andopportunities:■ Tranquillity, accessibility,aspect of buildings.■ Scale of development,impact/appropriateness to setting,prominence, exposure, and gradients.■ Porosity, stability, fertility, pH,ground contamination, capacity forwater disposal/retention.■ Compatibility with development.Identify areas needing protection,and vegetation worthy of retentionor removal. Measures to protectand/or enhance. Managementrequirements.■ Need for shelter/open aspect,sun/shade.■ Need for screening, acousticmeasures, compatibility toproposed use.■ Assessment of site history,importance, requirements forarcheological excavation, researchand protection.■ Sensitive views and settings to besafeguarded, enclosure orscreening required.■ Privacy, security, visual andphysical impact.■ Status of footpath routes,easements (permissive, statutory),constraints of visibility/sight lines,needs of disabled people.ArchaeologyIn accordance with Local Plan and StructurePlan policies and with the guidancecontained in Planning Policy Guidance Note16 ‘Archaeology and Planning’, developerswill be required to carry out anarcheological field evaluation. The results ofthe evaluation will form the necessaryprogramme of archeological recording. TheCounty Archaeologist, Hampshire CountyCouncil, is to be consulted at the earliestpossible stage and certainly before aplanning application is madeThe eastern boundary of the site at OldKempshott Lane depicts the course of theRoman Road that once connectedSilchester and Chichester.An important Iron Age ‘banjo’ enclosure(form of stock enclosure in a banjo shape)lies beyond the southwest corner of thesite, and a second possible ‘banjo’enclosure to the southeast. Also present inthis area, straddling footpath No 21, is arectangular ditched enclosure, which hasbeen interpreted as being of Romano-British date, possibly associated with abuilding. Other undated linear features areold kempshott lane development brief

Design Frameworkplan 3to roads and open space or by the formalenclosure of squares by terraced housingor less formal leafy avenues of detachedhousing to help create interest and variety.Density variations create interest andcontrast whilst meeting the housing needsfor different types of accommodation.The sense of enclosure and character ofan area will often reflect the way thatspace is used in relation to the siting ofindividual or groups of housing. This canbe used to highlight the differencebetween housing areas depending on thedensity of development and the changingscale that occurs. This contrast can eitherbe in the difference in height between oneand three storey development or thevariety that occurs between lower densitydevelopment and use of soft landscapingand the more formal use of hard surfacingin higher density schemes with housingsquares and courtyards.KeyBrief Area BoundaryExisting Trees and HedgerowsPrinciple RoadsPedestrian/CyclewaysLandmark FeatureProposed VehicularAccess PointsSquare/Gateway Feature orLandmark Buildingold kempshott lane development brief

6.0 Planning and Design ContextBuilding Materials can also be used toreinforce the identity of neighbourhoods byadopting a combination ofparticular colours ormaterials to emphasis thecharacter of an area. Theyshould includecontemporary modernmaterials as well as traditionalones with variety andinterest provided in thehouse types orarchitectural detailing.Roads, Footpaths and Cycleways forman integral part of the overall design conceptand can be used to highlight the individualcharacter of the development. A welldesigned road will not onlyreduce vehicle speeds butalso allow a networkof roads withfrontagedevelopment. The use of different highwaytechniques and surface materials will helpto create roads and footpaths within thedevelopment which add interest andvariety without making the car dominate inthe housing layout. Pedestrian routes canalso highlight neighbourhood links andmain footpaths in the use of surfacedetailing and directional planting withinthe open space framework.Secure by Design - developmentproposals should include design measuresthat contribute towards crime preventionin accordance with the guidance outlinedin Appendix II.Public Art - the Borough Council recognisesthe contribution which art plays inenhancing the quality of the environment andis committed to adopting and implementing aPer Cent for Art Policy. Where appropriate, theBorough Council will seek voluntary agreementswith the developer to commission works of artand craft on or within new buildings or as part ofthe overall-landscaping scheme. This may includestatues or sculptures, detailed features on a building,specially designed walls or other means of enclosure,footpath routes and paving schemes.old kempshott lane development brief

7.0 SustainabilityThe Borough Council has adopted apolicy to promote sustainability with aview to developing a Local Agenda 21on environmental policies (seeAppendix III). Development will beexpected to conform to these generalprinciples and the objectives outlinedin Chapter 2 of the Local Plan and thecriteria listed under Policy GS1. Furtheradvice on the use of sustainabledevelopment principles is outlined inthe Section on Design andConstruction.old kempshott lane development brief

8.0 HousingThe Design Framework Plan (Plan 3)indicates a layout of proposed housingareas together with other facilities andlandscaping. This scheme acknowledgesthe general topography and characteristicsof the site and includes some of the ideasand concepts outlined in the section onDesign Principles. The net area of landavailable for house building provides theopportunity to achieve a high standard oflayout and design. Development will berequired to reflect the character of OldKempshott Lane where it adjoins the laneand conform with the advice and guidanceattached at Appendix IV, including theBorough Council Design Guidance 3:Standards for New Housing.Housing MixThe site is considered suitable for a mixedresidential development to include a rangeChapter 3 (Housing) of the Local Plananticipates that emerging households willconsist of mostly one or two personsresulting from a number of social anddemographic trends. The Borough Councilof different house sizes and types. TheBorough Council will therefore require avariety of house types and densities,generally in the range of about 25-50dwellings per net ha.has approved an Interim Housing MixPolicy which seeks to provide greaterchoice within the private housing marketfor the growing number of smallThe following table indicates the preferredhousing mix for both affordable andprivate housing.households in the Borough.Affordable Housing Private Housing Range TotalNo % No % No %1 and 2 bed3 bed4+ bedTotal32 (80) 38 (24) 70 (35)6 (15) 74 (46) 80 (40)2 (5) 48 (30) 50 (25)40 (100) 160 (100) 200 (100)old kempshott lane development brief

8.0 HousingAffordable HousingA supply of affordable housing is neededto meet part of the Borough wide target of3000 affordable dwellings during the LocalPlan period. This requires the BoroughCouncil to negotiate with the developerunder Policy H10 of the Local Plan for thepurpose of achieving at least 20% of thetotal dwellings for identified affordablehousing needs. The proposed housing mixfor the affordable housing is indicated above.The affordable housing is likely to beprovided by Housing Associations/ SocialLandlords registered with the HousingCorporation, or other appropriate socialhousing bodies, whose purpose is toaccommodate those who cannot affordprivate market accommodation.Appropriate legal agreements will benecessary to ensure that the affordablehousing remains affordable in perpetuity.Further information on the expectedmeans of achieving this aim can be gainedfrom the Borough Council’s Head ofHousing Services and the Borough Solicitor.It will involve the developer submitting aplanning application which, wherepossible, includes a joint application with aHousing Association or appropriate othersocial housing body and shows:■ the area(s) and distribution of land tobe developed for Affordable Housingand conveyed to a HousingAssociation/Social Landlord registeredwith the Housing Corporation;■ that the location, dwelling mix andnumber of affordable dwellings is fullyintegrated with the market housing and;■ the likely phasing of development inrelation to the overall developmenttimetable for the remainder of the site.old kempshott lane development brief

9.0 Design and ConstructionA well designed housing layout canachieve individuality anddistinctiveness by making the most ofthe site and its natural features. Thesite offers the opportunity tointroduce a high standard of designby replacing the more usual suburbandistributor road, culs de sac andstandard house types with avenues,squares, crescents and streets. Thistraditional enclosure of spaces can befurther extended in the use of walls,railings and hedges to emphasise thesense of space and, when combinedwith distinctive materials, will help tointroduce variety and contrast andneighbourhood identity.The Borough Council will encourage theuse of sustainable development principlesin the scheme, including innovative designand construction technology, solarpowered devices, energy efficiencymaterials and grey water recycling.Consideration also needs to be given tothe use of communal satellite dishes andInformation Technology connections toeach dwelling and within the home forintegrated multimedia communications.The development can reflect any distinctivecharacter that is present in the area in theuse of detailing or materials without theneed to copy or reproduce historic styles.Materials can include contemporary,modern materials as well as traditional ones.A modern approach to the developmentusing innovative and sustainable housingcan create interest and variety and give adistinctive character to the developmentwithout it appearing out of place.In addition to the need to consider theoverall approach taken in the design,layout, and the Standard AssessmentProcedure (SAP) energy rating requiredunder the Building Regulations, theproposals can be assessed under BREEAM(BRE Environmental Assessment Methodfor buildings - Homes) covering a range ofenvironmental factors, including:■ CO2 emissions■ healthy building features■ air quality and ventilation■ ecology of the site■ water conservation■ noise■ lightingThe scheme could qualify for the BuildingResearch Establishment (BRE)Environmental Standard Award. This Awardwas launched in April 1995 as the mark ofenvironmental quality for UKhomebuilders, designed to encourage‘greener’ construction and energy efficienthousing that is built to reduce the impacton both the global and local environment.old kempshott lane development brief

9.0 Design and ConstructionSpecial attention should be given to themassing of house and roof formsparticularly where these are visible on theskyline or from a distance. Variations inheight and roof pitch can be considered,particularly at the entrance or approach tohousing groups or as landmark features.Walls, fences and garages are to be seenas an integral part of the design and cancreate visual continuity and a means ofenclosing space.Variations in the colour and texture ofsurface materials for roads, footpaths andcycleways, can not only highlightpedestrian priority but can help to createidentity and sense of location throughoutthe development. High quality materialswill be required throughout thedevelopment including the use of good,well designed street furniture.old kempshott lane development brief

10.0 Open Space andLandscape FrameworkLandscaping must be regarded as anintegral part of the development and makeprovision for reinforcing and enhancingexisting trees and hedgerows. Professionallandscape advice should be obtained fromthe outset as this provision will have asignificant influence on the character of thedevelopment. Layouts should be designedto provide the optimum area of useableopen space avoiding thecreation of oddshapedand isolated landscaped areas thatare of little amenity value and may bedifficult to maintain.The provision and design of open space,structural and ornamental planting will berequired to incorporate the standards andprinciples outlined in the Local Plan and theattached appendices.Policy ORT104 (xxi) of the Local Planallocates 2.1 ha of land for public openspace for a Woodland Park in associationwith the proposed new housingdevelopment. It is intended that the Parkwill be laid out and managed with theinvolvement of the local community.Additional structure planting is also requiredto supplement existing trees and hedgerowsas appropriate. This will be provided withinthe development and around the perimeterof the site where it abuts the railway andadjoining farm land to help mitigate thevisual impact of development and toprovide a network of landscaped areas andfootpaths throughout the development.Further open space is required within thehousing layout for amenity and doorstopplay in accordance with the minimumstandard of 0.4 ha/1000 population. Thefunction of amenity open space is primarilyvisual and includes landscape areas,doorstep play areas and openspace/landscape planting adjoining roadsand footpaths.old kempshott lane development brief

11.0 AllotmentsThe requirement for equipped children’s playareas at a standard of 0.2 ha/1000population can be accommodated withinthe Woodland Park to be provided underLocal Plan Policy ORT104. This will requirethe provision of one NeighbourhoodEquipped Play Area. Play areas are to beprovided to the minimum standards as setout in Appendix IV.The developer will be expected to prepareand implement a scheme of landscapingfor other areas of open space including theland to be reserved for the future provisionof a new railway station. An inspectionfee, commuted sum and Bond for theseworks will be required. Attention is drawnto the landscape Specification (1988)prepared by the Council for areas to beadopted under agreements.The existing Recreation Ground that islocated on the northern edge of thedevelopment area is to remain as informalopen space with improved pedestrian linksto the area.AllotmentsThe Borough Council considers that allotments provide a sustainable and valuableleisure resource. A site for between 20 to 25 allotment plots is to be provided on landadjoining the railway as indicated on Plan 3 to meet the likely demand arising fromthe development.old kempshott lane development brief

12.0 Access and MovementAccess RoadsOld Kempshott Lane is a single carriagewayroad generally 6.5 metres wide, andsubject to a 30mph speed limit. It hasstreet lighting and direct frontage access isprovided to existing residential properties.The Borough Council has commissioned anindependent TIA for this development. TheTIA has assessed the travel demand, for allmodes of transport, generated by the siteand subsequently recommend whatinfrastructure improvements are requiredto improve the site’s sustainability, therebyreducing the reliance on the car toundertake journeys. These improvementsinclude enhancements to bus servicesthrough and in the vicinity of thedevelopment; provision of cycle routes tolink to key destinations; off-sitetransportation improvements to facilitateaccess to and from the development; andtraffic management measures to slowvehicle speeds and deter ‘rat-running’ onlocal residential roads.The Transportation Impact Assessment(TIA) has investigated the most suitable,practicable and feasible improvements tobus services and infrastructure whichwould best serve the development as partof the transport infrastructure package forthe development.old kempshott lane development brief

12.0 Access and MovementAccess to the development will be fromOld Kempshott Lane with two newjunctions provided. There will be a need tointroduce measures on Old KempshottLane and Chiltern Way that reduces trafficspeeds to 32 kph (20 mph) or less in thevicinity of Worting Primary and JuniorSchools by the introduction of SchoolSafety Zones. The Borough Council is toencourage the provision of a ‘SchoolTransport Plan’ for the two local schools.One of the new junctions has beenlocated to the north of the school asshown on the Design Framework Plan(Plan 3) as part of the overall proposals toimprove safety in the vicinity of the school.The roads serving the development shouldhave a design speed of between 24 kph(15 mph) and 32 kph (20 mph) or less,achieved through good highway design.The road specification and highway layoutmust be designed in accordance with theadvice contained in Hampshire CountyCouncil’s “Movement and Access inResidential Areas”. Roads and footpathswill be required to be constructed to astandard acceptable for adoption by theHighway Authority under Section 38 ofthe Highways Act 1980. Highways mustbe completed to Part 1 Certificate criteriafor each agreement prior to theoccupation of any dwelling(s).The layout of the housing areas shouldemphasise the pedestrian priority overvehicular movement. Pedestrian priority onshared surface roads can be highlightedusing contrasting surface materials such asconcrete paviours to ensure the differentstatus is emphasised. This allows for acombination of materials and landscaping,to provide interesting housing layouts andencourages low speeds and driver care bycombining roads and footway into a singlesurface. The developer must demonstrateto the satisfaction of the HighwayAuthority that the following principles oflayout design are achieved:■ The majority of dwellings are served byarrangements in which pedestrians andcyclists are afforded priority overmotor vehicles;■ The speed and volume of traffic aresufficiently low that pedestrian safety,comfort and convenience are achieved;■ and Road planning, housing layout,open space and landscaping areintegrated in such a way as topromote a pleasant living environment;■ Footways, footpaths and cyclewaysshould link housing groups andconnect them to the main network andoff site connections. They should besafe, convenient and located toencourage use;Both strategic and local planning policiesemphasise the need to develop aframework within which opportunities arecreated for reducing the use of the motorcar. This is the primary objective of theBasingstoke Environmental Strategy forTransport (BEST) to which the developmentidentified in this Brief will make financialcontributions;old kempshott lane development brief

12.0 Access and MovementStreet Lighting/FurnitureStreet lighting is used to ensure the safemovement for pedestrians and cyclists, toreduce opportunities for crime and toenable drivers to see hazards on the road.Although lighting has an importantpractical function, it can also enhance thebuilt environment if the appropriate designand size is selected. Other street furnituresuch as seats, bins, bollards and signpostscan also be designed and located to addto, rather than detract from, the characterof the development.Buckskin Local Centre, schools and leisureand community facilities. The local Planmakes provision for a site of 0.8ha to bereserved for a possible future railwaystation adjoining the railway, as shown onPlan 3. Were this facility is to be provided itwill require the approval and co-operationof Railtrack and the Train Operator. Afeasibility appraisal and further TIA will alsoneed to be carried out. Provision for anindependent vehicular access to thereserved station site will need to beincluded in the proposals. DesignFramework Plan (Plan 3) indicates wherethis may be possible.There are several existing bus servicesoperating in the vicinity, includingconnections to local areas and the TownCentre from Worting Road and ChilternWay . There are also links to Salisbury, andWinchester. Routes pass along WortingRoad, Chiltern Way and Buckskin Lane andtake 14 minutes to reach the Town Centreand 12 minutes to the Sainsbury foodstoreat Hatch Warren. The TIA has identified theThe specification for street furniture mustbe agreed with the Local PlanningAuthority prior to implementation. Thestreet lighting plan, specifying location andtypes of units, will be required at thereserved matters application stage.Public TransportThis Brief establishes opportunities forpromoting and improving public transportinitiatives and for enhancing the networkof footpaths and cycleway links to principledestinations in the vicinity, such as theold kempshott lane development brief

12.0 Access and Movementneed for a new bus service between theOld Kempshott Lane development and thetown centre to be provided in conjunctionwith the development. This would alsorequire the use of Real Time PassengerInformation Systems.Basingstoke train station is located in theTown Centre with links to LondonWaterloo, Winchester, Southampton andthe south coast. Overton train station liesapproximately 5 miles to the west withlinks with Salisbury and Exeter. NationalExpress coaches also provide strategicconnections from Basingstoke Bus Station.Pedestrian/CyclewaysA convenient and safe footpath networkwill need to be provided throughout thedevelopment. The network should followexpected pedestrian desire lines so as tolink with existing public footpaths in thevicinity. Further pedestrian and cyclewaylinks are proposed to link up with theWestern Cycleway Route and to connect tothe Leisure Park and the Town Centre.The Borough Council has approved theprovision of the Western Cycle Route,between the new housing sites atKempshott Lane to the south and ParkPrewett to the north following the courseof the old Roman Road. The proposedsecond phase of the route runs from PackLane to Wayside Road, generally passingalong the eastern boundary of the OldKempshott Lane site. Details of the secondphase are to be determined followingconsultation with landowners and the localcommunity, however it is likely the routewill form part of the proposed cyclewaynetwork within the development.In addition to the network of footwaysthroughout the surrounding residentialarea, there is an existing 1.5 metrefootway on the western side of OldKempshott Lane that runs the entire lengthof the Lane. On the eastern side a footwayof 1.5 metre width runs north fromWorting Primary School to the B3400Worting Road. There is also a footpath linkfrom Old Kempshott Lane adjacent to theschool that runs through Cotswold Closealongside the Worting Junior School andon to Chiltern Way and Buckskin Lane.Car ParkingGarages and parking spaces must beprovided either within or close to thedwellings they serve, in order to minimiseindiscriminate parking on the road. Wheregroup garages or courtyard parking isproposed they should be located withinabout 20 metres of the dwelling.Movement and Access in Residential Areaswas published by Hampshire CountyCouncil in 1995. This document providesguidance on all aspects of highway designin residential areas.The maximum parking standards adoptedby the Borough Council are as follows:General Residential andHousing AssociationStudio/Bedsitter unit 2 spaces per unit1-2 bed units 2 spaces per unit3 bed units 2 spaces per unit4 bed units 3 spaces per unitold kempshott lane development brief

Refer to the HCCdocument Movement and Access inResidential Areas for specific guidance onparking for people with disabilities andprovision for motorcycles and bicycles.Traffic and Railway NoiseThe environmental impact of existing andproposed roads on the residential areas canbe ameliorated by careful design andlandscaping to reduce noise levels andimprove screening. The parts of the siteadjoining the railway line will be requiredto demonstrate at the planning applicationstage that the proposed developmentaccords with the provisions of PPG 24‘Planning and Noise’, in respect of noiseattenuation on the site.The railway is in a cutting approximately 3metres deep at the southwest end of thesite but returns to ground levelapproximately mid way along the sitesboundary before rising on an embankment4 to 5 metres above ground level at itsnorthern end.Noise and vibration extends into the site byup to 80 meters from the adjoining railwaywithin Noise Exposure Category C of PPG24. The noise impact on this area can bemitigated by the use of a 2 metre highacoustic barrier adjoining the railway in thesouthern half of the site or by locating theproposed housing a sufficient distance fromthe line. Where the railway is on anembankment at the northern end of thesite it may not be practical to mitigate noiseby acoustic barriers and any housing wouldneed to be sited beyond the noiseconstraint or designed to take account ofthe problem. Modifying the design of floorsor foundations as necessary can reduce theimpact of vibration levels in the housing.old kempshott lane development brief

13.0 Developers Contributions andInfrastructure RequirementsProspective developers are advised toconsider the legal and financial implicationsof their on-site and off-site responsibilitiesincluding infrastructure contributions beforepurchasing any land. In addition to thenormal on and off-site developmentobligations including the element ofaffordable housing to be provided, theLocal Plan identifies the need for the publicsector to obtain appropriate developers’contributions towards infrastructure andcommunity facilities. The Borough Councilwill therefore require developers to providethe infrastructure required to serve theproposed development and to meet theadditional demands that will be made onthe existing community.The Borough Council and/or the CountyCouncil will expect to enter into anappropriate legal agreement with thedeveloper indicating when a facility is to beprovided or a financial contribution is to bemade. Where contributions are required,they will normally be made in the form ofpayments to the relevant authority eitherunder Section 106 of the Town andCountry Planning Act 1990, or otherrelevant statutes including Section 278 ofthe Highways Act 1980.The Borough Council has identified thefollowing infrastructure and communityrequirements for the development:Community Facilities - the BoroughCouncil will require an appropriatecontribution towards the provision of localcommunity facilities.Woodland Park/Open Space – theprovision of the Woodland Park and newstructure planting, equipped play area,informal recreation and amenity openspace and allotments.Pedestrian and Cycleways Links – theprovision of on site pedestrian andcycleways and a financial contributiontowards the Western Cycleway Route.Swimming Facilities - without prejudice andsubject to priorities being determined theBorough Council will require anappropriate contribution towards providingand improving swimming facilities in theBorough in line with the “Basingstoke andDeane Swimming Strategy” (1994). Suchprovision and improvement of swimmingfacilities will be required to help meet theadditional demands placed upon existingfacilities by the new development.old kempshott lane development brief

13.0 Developers Contributions andInfrastructure RequirementsWhere open space and landscaped areasare to be conveyed to the BoroughCouncil, the developer will be required totake out a Bond to cover implementationand initial maintenance. The land shall behanded over in a satisfactory condition andat no cost to the Council having first beenmaintained for a 12 month period.Inspection fees and commuted sums forfuture maintenance will be payable oncompletion of the relevant legalagreements.The County Council as Highway Authorityhas identified the following transportrelated infrastructure requirements:The provision of 0.8 ha of land adjoiningthe railway for the possible future provisionof a new railway station.Contributions towards the implementationof the BEST strategy for improvement andenhancement of pedestrian and cyclewaylinks and public transport initiatives. TheBorough Council has investigate the needfor transport related infrastructureimprovements to the local area in a TIAprepared for the development.old kempshott lane development brief

14.0 Public UtilitiesWater, drainage, gas, electricity,telephone and cable informationservices are available given adequatenotice to the relevant Service Company.Developers are advised to contact theresponsible bodies listed in AppendixVI at the earliest possible stage toestablish specific service requirementsand the contributions required for offsiteworks in addition to standardcharges. The developer will need torequisition works including a newsewer and pumping station and anyon-site balancing to control surfacewater run off. A site for a possiblefuture water supply bore hole willneed to be provided in a location to beagreed with the water authority.Foul Water DrainageSewage from the development will betreated at Thames Water’s BasingstokeSewage Treatment Works (STW).Investigations are currently beingundertaken to assess the impact of all newdevelopment in the catchment on the STW.Two foul water sewers are available in OldKempshott Lane, 150 and 225mm.However, an impact study of the seweragesystem will be required to determine themagnitude of spare capacity in the systemand a suitable connection point. Thedeveloper will be required to fund this andany necessary upgrading.Surface Water DrainageThames Water requires the separation offoul and surface water sewerage on allnew developments. It is the responsibilityof a developer to make proper provisionfor surface water drainage to ground,water courses or surface water sewer. Itmust not be allowed to drain to the foulsewer, as this is a major contributor tosewer flooding.There are no public surface water sewersavailable in this part of the catchment. Thearea is normally served by soakawayswhich is consistent with advice from theDETR, which promotes whereverpracticable, disposal of surface water ‘onsite’ without recourse to the publicsewerage system, for example in the formof soakaways or infiltration areas on freedraining soils.old kempshott lane development brief

Appendix iiSecure by DesignBuilding RegulationsApplication for approval under the BuildingRegulations can be made to the Director ofDevelopment on the forms available fromBasingstoke and Deane Borough Council.Crime PreventionThe Home Office and local Police Forces inEngland and Wales have identified a seriesof measures to reduce crime and the fearof crime in housing developments. Threesubjects require to be considered at thedesign stage:■ defensible spaces■ landscape■ natural surveillance.Defensible SpacesThe area’s inhabitants have the right to feelat ease and secure in their surroundings.Each house or small group of dwellingsshould be provided with an intermediatespace between itself and the rest of thedevelopment in general. The barriersaround this space may be either real orsymbolic with fences, narrow entrances,changes of surface, colour or texture andareas of planting. Whether the design usessingle buildings or groups of buildings thelayout should achieve a series of smallenclosures within which there are clearviews at eye level except where privacy ismore important. Public footpaths acrossthe development should occupyconspicuous places and avoid givingopportunities for unobserved access.LandscapeSuccessful landscape design depends onstriking a balance between enclosure andvisibility between separate spaces. Clearviews of the immediate surroundings nearfootpaths and dwellings are essential andthe design should allow for a plane ofvisibility over the tops of low shrubs andbelow the canopies of trees. Full heightboundaries should be used only whereprivacy and enclosure are important andwhere security has to be maintainedbetween two separate land uses.Natural SurveillanceBetter security depends on improving theviewpoint towards vulnerable areas likechildren’s play spaces and car parks andthrough increasing the number of potentialviewers of these areas. Garages, drives andcar spaces need to be put either close tothe dwelling or within a general field ofview. Ideally this means either in front ofthe dwelling itself, except where parkedvehicles would interrupt visibility, oradequately lit and visible parking spaces insmall groups. Variety in the size and typeof dwellings to be built, e.g. ofconventional houses, single storeybuildings or flats would enable workingage ranges, retired people and others to bepresent for a greater share of the twentyfour hour day.old kempshott lane development brief
