LONGFORD ESTATES<br />
AND ST. NICHOLAS HOSPITAL<br />
Land off <strong>Britford</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>, Harnham, Salisbury<br />
SUMMARY AND NEXT STEPS<br />
Our intentions for the site<br />
We are committed to providing a scheme that will become a legacy to the area.<br />
We have noted local concern that should a planning application be approved by Wiltshire Council, there would be no guarantee against<br />
Longford Estates and St Nicholas Hospital selling the land to a developer who may seek to build many more, lower quality houses than<br />
proposed with this scheme.<br />
In response to this concern, we would like to make the following points:<br />
• Most landowners sell land withoutline planning consent. This puts<br />
the design, density and decision making in the hands of the developer.<br />
We are going a step further with a comprehensive design led Full<br />
Planning Application.<br />
• A legally binding option to include positive covenants will restrict the<br />
number of houses that can be built on the site. This is not enforced<br />
by the planning authority but will be a legal requirement. This was<br />
successfully achieved by the Estate when permission was granted for<br />
50 houses at Wick <strong>Lane</strong> in Downton. The site was sold and has been<br />
developed for 50 houses.<br />
• A legal agreement would also require any developer to obtain the<br />
vendors’ authority for any future applications to amend an approved<br />
scheme as well as the local planning authority. This demonstrates the<br />
commitment to a quality development.<br />
• An application would be submitted with a Design Code, which<br />
explicitly sets out the design and materials that must be used for<br />
the development. This would provide the Council with a “material<br />
consideration” to enable them to refuse permission for future<br />
amendments from developers that might seek to erode the design.<br />
The image to the right shows the level of detail that would be<br />
provided with this planning application.<br />
Highly detailed information will be submitted to the Council<br />
