Business Plan Impact

of New Hall Site AlternativesSlide2

Factor

SandwaysJubileeOwnership Long sought-for disposal of residual family property, brought forward into the NP process after earlier single-site dialogue and prior (1998) development proposals.Proposal developed in response to NP process. Part of continuing, actively farmed land holding of a local family trust. Construction partnershipArchitect (Brimble Lea) is familiar with Bourton and NDDC. Selection of developer is in hand but not yet known.Architect and developer have worked together on other schemes and are known to NDDC.Planning ApplicationBrimble Lea has already held discussions with NDDC and has re-submitted (28th Sept) an outline planning application.The development team has indicated its desire to pursue planning permission together with the Village.Terrain/slopeHall and parking location is on more level ground at the foot of the slope. Use of the slope and distance to the road should serve to minimise visual impact.Some levelling likely to be required for Hall and parking. Use of the slope may increase costs but serve to minimise visual impact.Hall designNDDC known to favour a more costly broken roof-line design over the original hall plans but final design and size is open to discussion. Site location enables a range of approaches to hall design (including the original hall design)and its interaction with the housing development.,Cost sharing (access, roadways, groundwork, utilities etc)Not yet known – to be agreed as part of S106 agreementNot yet known – to be agreed as part of S106 agreementOther contributions to construction costsNot yet known – to be agreed as part of S106 agreementNot yet known – to be agreed as part of S106 agreement

Impact Factors - Construction Slide3

Factor

SandwaysJubileeLicensing constraints (limiting the nature, quantity and timing of hirings)More central position means more residents affected by environmental (noise/light) nuisance. Re-positioned location away from the road and use of the slope together with designed-in measures in the Hall should provide mitigation.Lesser threat of significant constraint due to fewer nearby residents, orientation and use of the slope together with designed-in measures in the Hall should provide mitigation. A303 noise/light is already ever-present. New ActivitiesDrop-in caféAfter-school clubInformation hub and workspace and provision of services (e.g. clinics, advice, activities for the elderly/less able) Central location is a plus for use by residents but a lengthy slope may deter the less able.Central location a plus for New Close/Mill Rise/Breach & Millers Close etc.Central location is a plus for many but arrangements for transport, parking and ready access will be more important for the wider catchment area.Location likely to dissuade pedestrians but high percentage of hall users come by car and most parents drive to the school.Location a plus for W. Bourton Rd, Church Track & St George’sArrangements for transport, parking and ready access will be more important than location for the wider catchment areaExisting ActivitiesClubs, societies, local hirings and regular events (e.g. film night)

Hall size and parking must be sufficient for larger audiences (e.g. film night) and to accommodate a stage, storage, multiple smaller rooms and space for short mat bowls.

Distance from the centre of the village will be less than rival venues (Zeals, Silton) and likely greater “kerb appeal” may serve to attract new activities and people from the wider catchment area.

Impact Factors - OperationalSlide4

Factor

SandwaysJubileeProximity of the ChurchThe new hall may attract church-related events but is unlikely to contribute directly to the appeal of the church as a venue.Opportunity for synergy and mutual benefit with the hall supporting use increased use of the church as a venue.Proximity of the SchoolWest Bourton Road crossing and distance limit direct synergies to opportunities for educational environmental projects and, with appropriate investment, a playing field on the amenity land (although this is not currently envisaged by Hall or Parish Council).Future potential synergy if appropriate connection can be established and investment made so that car park and amenity land for sport and/or educational environmental projects is a short off-road walk. Use of amenity land(Parish ownership and responsibility)Amenity land will have direct connectivity to Clay Lane and the Stour Valley Way long distance path.Amenity land provides opportunities for walking/hiking/exercise clubs, other recreational facilities and environmental projects. Consideration of a new football/rugby/tennis club is a distant opportunity of little likely direct benefit to the HallAmenity land is promised access to West Bourton Road and the footpath network to its South and via Woolcott Lane to the footpath network of the AONBSome opportunities with the school (as above) of benefit to the community. With good linkage with the amenity land there would be scope for outdoor activities/facilities of some potential benefit to the hall.Road SafetyThe main shared access to hall and housing has been accepted by Highways under a previous planning application provided that appropriate splays are created. An access has been cleared under the NP process but a detailed assessment of the specific location will be required. There may be the opportunity for measures to be taken to limit speeds on New Road.

Other Opportunities and Considerations Slide5

Conclusions

A large number of people in the village believe the more central location of Sandways is the more appropriate; the Sandways scheme is the more advanced in its planning and the owners have submitted an application for outline planning permission on the basis of the plans as presented. The location of a new hall in the centre of the community inevitably impacts more people. As a result, there are likely to be trade-offs between the benefit to the community of a central location, the design of the hall and limitations as to its use (in terms of times, frequency and nature) and future development.A central location is more likely to encourage more people to walk to use the hall. However, experience from the existing centrally located hall is that a high percentage of users travel by car, especially in the evenings, in winter and inclement weather. External hirings will attract additional traffic into the village.The proposal for the Jubilee Field site does extend the village with a new, self-contained development but would be likely to result in a new hall with significant “kerb appeal”, future-proofed by its location and setting on the edge of the village. The Jubilee Field does offer better scope for cross-benefits between Hall, Church and School due to the closer co-location but this is dependent on achieving improved pedestrian routes and on improved utilisation of the Church.Both schemes will require further work to achieve planning permissions, other relevant agreements and to avoid duplicated costs, demanding the closest co-operation between all concerned.
