is passionate about creating sustainable and high quality
development around the world...
... we are a team of masterplanners, urban designers,
architects and landscape architects; designers of the environment and urban places
with a particular expertise in complex regeneration, public realm and high
quality implementation and detailing...
... we focus on creating ‘places’ to assist with the creation of a thriving economy, society
and environment; all vital ingredients
... of sustainable growth

Housing providers in the UK operate in different markets,
regionally, socially and economically. The market is
changing but there is a continuing need to create
developments which are ‘places’, with their own identity. This
helps with Allocations and planning Consents; it helps with
marketing, and Rummey Design believes it helps with sales.
This belief underpins our approach to residential design, at
whatever scale. It is an approach which we apply rigorously
at all stages of a project, from gaining planning Permissions,
to Public Inquiry if necessary, and to detailed Applications.
We think strategically about residential design. The essential
‘sense of place’ comes from working with the site, its physical
qualities and drawbacks and its history. In that sense it is
‘landscape-led’ and this has stood us and our clients in good
stead in enabling many important developments recently.
The work illustrated here is predominantly ‘non-urban’ in
relating to new settlements and urban extensions, but some
‘urban’ projects are also shown. This strategic approach is
central to major developers’ needs in maintaining the
‘pipeline’ of planning Consents.
Currently Rummey Design are working on, or have
influenced the design, of up to 14,000 units at Allocation,
Consent or Detailed design stage.

public inquiry...
Rummey Design, and sister firm Rummey Environmental, have won
some notable Consents for up to 750 houses in the last 18 months,
some of these at Appeal. Rummey Design takes a landscape-led
approach to provide a strong evidence-based framework for
masterplanning and design decisions.
This analysis and evidence base is used to provide clear, defensible and
imaginative masterplans which aim to increase the sense of
place whilst being robust in a planning context. We have recently
used this approach successfully at Appeal at Silverstone, 220
houses, for Barwood Land, Stanford le Hope, 200 units, for
Barratts, Standgrove, 38 houses, for Ardingly College, and other
schemes ranging from 1 to 500 units are currently under
preparation.

“
the Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector ... that whilst the appeal scheme is
large in relation to the size of Silverstone and would represent a substantial change to
the character and appearance of the area, the site has been carefully and sensitively
planned to respond both to the topography of the land and to the traditional form of
the original village and would compromise neither the settlement’s character nor its
vitality ....
... the Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector that the appeal scheme would
provide a high quality design solution for the site in accordance with the importance
attached to good design as a key aspect of sustainable design ...
D ”
At Standgrove in Sussex for
Ardingly College, 38 houses
have been Consented at
Appeal. Argument turned on
potential impact on an Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Robert Rummey was able to
convince the Inspector that no
harm would be done to the
village or the AONB, and that
the scheme had the potential
for landscape improvement.

strategic and Allocations
Rummey Design is currently commissioned to design
for two allocations in Cambridgeshire and Kent for
approximately 4,000 houses. One of these is to be
a free-standing new settlement, the other an urban
extension. Whilst the Bourn Airfield site is
previously used land, and the other greenfield, the
design process based on evidence is similar;
landscape-led, the masterplan aiming to produce
landscape and environmental gains through
biodiversity and use of SuDS to produce a strong
sense of place, with local distinctiveness.

outline and hybrid applications...
Recent outline applications tend to be for larger
residential developments of up to 800 units; successful
outline applications made since 2013 include
Catchyard Farm, Silverstone, 220 units, Howe
Barracks, Canterbury, 500 units, Billingshurst, 475
units, and currently a strategic project at Maidstone in
Kent for 850 units. Our approach is to work on the
basis of evidence so that the rigour of the masterplan
which accompanies these applications cannot be
challenged and forms a sound basis for negotiation.
These applications need to convey a strong sense of
place, with Parameter Plans as key documents.

the potential effect of development on the village’s
compact nature;
the pressures of traffic on the existing infrastructure;
the impact on the surrounding countryside;
how it might meet your aspirations for a sustainable
future for the village.
Concept 1: ‘The
Compact Village’
The compact settlement has
been identified in the emerging
Neighbourhood Plan workshops and
within our consultation feedback. This
theme identifies a walkable settlement
defining the limits of the village at 500m
from Church Street (being the current
distance from the centre of Church Street
to the Station and southern tip of the
village).
This theme therefore means that
the WYE3 sites are reduced in their
development potential (particularly
ADAS and Withersdane). By limiting
development land this means that the
land allowed for growth is more dense,
and similar to the village centre (although
with a better parking strategy). It does
mean that the edges of the village can
be more extensively landscaped with
woodland to provide sufficient visual
buffer to mask this density.
Concept 2: ‘Clustered
Development’
The Clustered Development concept is
the opposite to the compact settlement
in that it provides for lower densities
in more land and encourages new
landscapes (woodland) to permeate
between the blocks and thus reducing
any visual or physical impact whilst also
providing a green infrastructure within
which development sits.
The benefits to this approach are to bring
the ecology into the village (as identified
during our consultation) and connect to
existing open spaces such as the Church
Field, Church yard and The Green.

There were 59 responses, as we l as many discu sions
with members of the design team over the course of
the two day event. This feedback was then considered
further during our first sounding board event.
During the course of these events you also suggested
specific land uses for the WE 3 sites. These, along
with the rest of the feedback are i lustrated by the

There is widespread desire for Wye to become a
sustainable vi lage. This means di ferent things
to di ferent people. Particula responses to our
consultation include:
o f grid energy generation;
walkable se tlement;
integrated busine s and housing to reduce vehicle
movements;
a mix of housing including a fordable;
decentralised facilities (such as WyeCycle);
local community based food production.
WYE3 consultation event 2:
General issues
The need for Wye to remain a vi lage is the most
important i sue that comes across. Wye i seen as a
local service centre for the Wye with Hinxhi l Parish
and neighbouring Parishes. It is considered to be as
large as desired from the south in particular due to the
historic growth of the se tlement in this direction.
The compactne s of the se tlement is paramount to
retaining this vi lage character. Of importance is also
an understanding of building materials used in Wye
and an appreciation of the character of the historic
core are also important.
The centre of Wye and its conservation area define the
character of the vi lage. The listed co lege buildings
are considered to be an integral part of the vi lage
centre and there is a desire to use these buildings for
the benefit of the community, particularly the grade 1
parts. The a tractive centre was frequently pointed out
and the fact that Wye has a particularly sma l pale te
of materials used that a lows it to sit in the landscape
without being visua ly intrusive and that ties the
di ferent period buildings into a Wye character’.
Listed buildings need to be protected and used
Demolish large
dilapidated buildings
You are most concerned that development on WYE3
wi l have a negative impact on traffic and alter the
compact nature of the village.

Emerging concepts...
Transport and Infrastructure
There are two separate issues to be addressed. The
railway crossing and parking/congestion in the vi lage
The rail cro sing is considered by some as beneficial
in keeping the vi lage quiet, also the majority of
respondents believe the crossing represents a restriction
to movement that a fects the ability for Wye to become
the important local’ hub.
The i sue of parking and congestion in the vi lage
seems to stem from peak time movement and parking.
The drop off and waiting at school times causes
particular problems in the vi lage in the morning.
Landscape and Ecology
The landscape su rounding the vi lage is considered to
be integral to the unique identity of Wye and through
the historic research and land based businesses located
here (working agricultural). The landscape is also
considered to be important for visua ly protecting the
vi lage when viewed from the North Downs as well as
defining the edge of the vi lage.
The landscape is also considered to be of importance
for increasing biodiversity and ecology, bringing it into
the vi lage.
Community farm
ADAS was most popularly seen as a site suitable for
low density housing and you thought that Withersdane
should become a care vi lage or hotel/conference
centre. Siting housing on Withersdane was a le s
popular idea.

although it was recognised that
the hotel would need a unique

There is a strong community desire to

The majority of respondents favour

suggested for the Free School.
The feedback indicates that
