The Site
The site lies immediately north of Calverton, bordered by existing housing to the south, industrial development to the west, and Oxton Road to the north.
Extending across 19 acres, the land is currently in agricultural use and is defined by hedgerows along the boundaries, with established trees and hedging along Oxton Road.
A Public Right of Way crosses through the site running from the Phase 1 development in the southwestern corner. The topography of the land rises gradually from north to south.
To the south, Persimmon Homes are delivering the approved development at Land North-West, Park Road, comprising 363 homes including 73 affordable units. Access to the proposed site would be taken from the existing Phase 1 network via Peasant Way and Stag Drive.
The land is identified in the ‘North-West Quadrant Urban Extension’ in the Calverton Neighbourhood Plan, which is identified as the main location for future growth.
The site is in Flood Zone 1, which is the lowest probability of river flooding.
Our Proposals
The development proposes up to 160 new homes, offering a broad mix of 1–5-bedroom properties including detached, semi-detached and terraced homes. The range is designed to meet a variety of needs and budgets, from smaller starter homes suitable for single people and couples, through to larger family homes and bungalows.
In line with local policy, 20% of the homes will be delivered as affordable housing, equating to up to 32 affordable homes within the scheme.
An indicative masterplan has been provided demonstrating how the development could be arranged on site:
A tree-lined central avenue forms the primary spine of the development, accompanied by a generous area of public open space to the eastern side, which incorporates a new children’s play area, footpaths and ponds for drainage.
The layout promotes strong connectivity, incorporating two vehicular access points, a safeguarded link to the east, and a shared cycleway along the primary route. Provision will also be made for a bus route running through the site, including new bus stops.
The design will be of high quality to reflect the new standards set out in Gedling Borough Councils new Design Code.
Parking is provided in accordance with the Council’s adopted Supplementary Planning Document and surrounding roads will be assessed to ensure there would be no adverse impact on highway safety.
Existing trees and hedgerows along field boundaries will be preserved and reinforced to support biodiversity and habitat connectivity.
To effectively manage surface water runoff and reduce flood risk, Suitable locations for Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) have been identified. These will also feature new planting to promote biodiversity, as well as ensuring there would not be any increase in flooding.
