Self-Build plots are carefully chosen so that their location, and the timing of their construction, doesn’t create excessive site traffic or site Health and Safety risks. Clauses within each plot sale contract will require that Self-Build plot purchasers complete their homes within a defined time limit (typically three years). If a building completion certificate [...]
Custom and Self-Build is not a new idea. In the 18th century, Bath’s iconic Royal Crescent was custom-built; one architect designed the frontage, whilst each plot owner commissioned their own architect to design a bespoke home behind. Custom and Self-Build is being strongly promoted by Government. However, the UK is well behind other European [...]
During the public consultation, we showed connections to the recently built footpath and cycleway along the eastern boundary of our site because we wanted to stitch into the existing network and make it easier for neighbours to access the play area and open spaces on our site and beyond. For planning, we have removed [...]
We will provide safe pedestrian and cycle routes as part of the development which connect with the existing network. Our proposal for improving Victoria Mill Road includes widening the existing footway to 1.8m where possible (from about 1.2m). New tactile paving and safer pedestrian crossing points will be created. There is currently no footway [...]
Framlingham has experienced considerable growth in recent years with schemes at Fore Street, Mount Pleasant, Castle Keep, Gargrave Place, Prospect Place, Tudor Gardens, Station Road, Windmill Gate, Clarke Drive Mews, and White Horse Mews complete or underway. We understand this puts pressure on local services and infrastructure, which often take a while to adapt [...]
A heritage and archaeology specialist was appointed to research the archaeological potential of the site. Their report follows the Standard and Guidance for Historic Environment Desk-based Assessment issued by the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists. It concludes that some prehistoric, Roman, and Early Medieval activity is recorded in the wider area but there is no [...]
We appointed local civil and highway engineer Canham Consulting to undertake detailed traffic and transport assessment. We undertook traffic counts to understand current levels and used an industry standard transport database and data analysis system to determine and to analyse the likely number of trips to and from the site in the future (taking [...]
It’s in our interest to make Victoria Mill Road safer for everyone who uses it. We appointed local civil engineer Canham Consulting to come up with a design which delivers greatest benefit for minimum local disruption. We propose widening Victoria Mill Road to between 5 and 5.5m (from as narrow as 3.7m in places [...]
The Framlingham Neighbourhood Plan states the minimum indicative housing requirement (established in the Site Allocations and Area Specific Policies Local Plan), up to 2027, has already been met. However, the Plan period extends beyond this date, until 2031. As the Plan reiterates, it is also important to understand that these figures represent a minimum [...]
The Framlingham Neighbourhood Plan identifies this site for delivery during the second half of the Neighbourhood Plan period (2015-2031), from 2025. This is because the minimum indicative housing requirement, up to 2027, has already been met. As the Plan reiterates, it is important to understand that these figures represent a minimum of what must [...]
