NP/SS7.1 Any development proposals for the Gasholder site must encompass the entire area defined on Map 21. In accordance with our policy NP/H1, a Development Brief is required. Any relevant development proposals must be in line with this Development Brief and must be accompanied by a Statement of Community Consultation, as set out in Appendix D.
NP/SS7.2 Development proposals for the Gasholder site must take the following requirements into account:
- Provision of a mix of dwellings across the site to reflect the surrounding character types, with larger houses at the Cavendish Meads end and smaller homes at the Bridge Road end of the site.
- An independent traffic impact assessment will be required to demonstrate the means of access and must include mitigation measures to ensure that any increased traffic movement resulting from this development will not have a negative impact on overall levels of congestion and parking demand in Sunninghill High Street and the surrounding area. A transport assessment is required to demonstrate that the proposed development meets access, safety, capacity and amenity requirements
- Sufficient provision for on-site parking for residents, visitors, tradesmen, deliveries and service vehicles such as to ensure that all parking relating to the development is contained within the site
- Provision of safe and accessible pedestrian and cycle routes from Cavendish Meads through the site to Sunninghill High Street
- Creation of a green space equivalent to 15% of the total area to be for the benefit of the community, with a play area and seating.
NP/SS7.3 Whilst not a policy requirement, any proposals to develop a new school on the site next to the adjacent playing fields will be supported.
