Welcome

• A neighbourhood centre providing retail, healthcare services, a community centre, library, a public house and residential uses;

• A network of formal and informal open spaces

• Provision of cycle ways, footpaths and a high quality bus service linking the neighbourhood to the town centre;

• Education facilities including a new primary school;

• Employment space for small, start up and micro businesses;

• Land allocated for a new railway station pending a de nitive decision by Network Rail to provide such a service.

Crest Nicholson intend to submit a PUBLIC OPEN SPACE STRATEGYcreate a safe, secure and welcoming residential • environment integrating the development within the existing landscape fabric and surrounding built form;

create a legible and diverse landscape ranging from • formal to semi-natural environments;

create a ‘green suburb’ integrating landscaping • throughout the development in the form of planting within courtyards, street trees along boulevards, and open spaces throughout the development area to provide an attractive place to live and a suitable transition between the urban edge of Crawley and open countryside;

create new native habitats through a series of open • spaces connected by a network of green corridors;

reduce in uence of the A264 through a combination • of gently grading acoustic landforms and a thick belt of woodland and woodland edge planting;

provide a network of green corridors and other • pedestrian and cycle routes throughout the development to create safe and attractive routes to local play areas, open spaces, community facilities and for recreational activities;

utilise existing topography to create interest and • variation in the public realm and maintain panoramic views of the northern and southern ridgelines through inclusion of strategic viewpoints within the landscape (‘the knoll’ and ‘the viewpoint’)

retention of existing natural features such as Capon • Grove, Pondtail Shaw, Bewbush Brook (albeit re-aligned) and existing hedgerows to create continuous ecological corridors, enhance the maturity of the landscape within the development and assist in creation of a locally distinctive character;

provide a series of ‘events’ in the landscape, a • network of exible and multi-functional spaces that can adapt and evolve with an ever changing community. Each space unique, each space designed to ‘belong’ to the people who live there.

MOVEMENT STRATEGY

Pedestrian, Cycle And Equestrian a priority route for pedestrians and cyclists along the • central spine linking the mixed use centre, possible railway station, homes along the route and open countryside to the north and south;

high quality walk and cycle routes within the • development and to/from I eld West and Bewbush, including overlooked safe routes to schools;

green circular leisure routes linking the open spaces; •

two crossings of the railway line, with the eastern • bridge accommodating an equestrian route (providing an alternative to the existing at grade crossing);

a pedestrian, cycle and equestrian ‘at grade’ crossing • over the A264 integrated with the secondary access junction;

Public Transport the creation of a bus interchange at the heart of the • development;

Fastway terminus/transport interchange at the • possible railway station;

shuttle bus operating to and from site and Dorstens • Square in the early phases;

Fastway services into the development to provide • high frequency, high quality buses to the town centre and major employment areas;

a range of bus services to shops, education, • employment and retail at Crawley and Horsham;

direct ‘bus only’ connections at Sullivan Drive in • Bewbush and Woodcroft Road in I eld West as well as, bus lanes to a new A264 junction;

possible railway station and associated car park;•

Vehicles creation of vehicle routes designed to manage traf c • volumes and speeds;

direct emergency access facilities; •

a main roundabout access onto the A264 improving • the access arrangements into Holmbush Potteries Industrial Estate;

a limited use secondary access on the A264 with • signalised left in, left out and right in movements including an ‘at grade’ crossing facility

a range of off-site junction improvements at: Cheals • roundabout, M23 junction 11 and potentially at A264/Sullivan Drive roundabout

Welcome

Crest Nicholson are pleased to consult for the second time on the emerging proposals for Kilnwood Vale, west of Bewbush. Since the rst consultation in October 2009 the concepts have been further developed and re ned to provide proposals that are consistent with the principles of the Joint Area Action Plan, adopted in July 2009 by Horsham District Council and Crawley Borough Council.

Kilnwood Vale will continue to provide:

• Approximately 2,500 dwellings of a variety of sizes to meet housing need with 20% being provided as affordable housing in the rst phase;

formal and informal open space, •

earthworks, •

remediation and infrastructure. •

The proposed Vision for the whole site and phase 1 are illustrated as part of this exhibition.

Site Wide Design Vision

Sustainable Urban Drainage StrategyThe principles governing the drainage strategy for Kilnwood Vale are:

management of the surface water runoff from the • development will use source-control measures and attenuation to manage ows conveyed into the existing watercourse;

the green space provides the opportunity to • locate water attenuation facilities, aidingthe overall sustainability of the Site and creating potential areas of permanent water, to the bene t of the quality of the open space;

a series of attenuation features will be installed • throughout the neighbourhood as part of a wider Sustainable Urban Drainage (SuDS) strategy;

surface water will be conveyed to these attenuation • features via swales which extend along the numerous green corridors within the neighbourhood. Where space is restricted and higher volume capacity required, surface water run off will be managed through additional piped sections; and

to ensure the SuDS provide a positive contribution • to the local biodiversity and general amenity, the attenuation features will be of varied scale, form and character:

To the north and south of Pondtail Shaw, the -attenuation features will be of similar character comprising areas of permanent water with wide shelves for marginal grasses and shallower, wetland habitats within the western parts.

Remediation Strategy

The attenuation feature along the western edge -of the Town Park will be a predominantly grassed feature formed with 1:4 slopes and incorporating native trees and shrubs. Located within the bed of the of attenuation facility, a meandering channel will be formed to create a wetted environment to support marginal grasses and associated wildlife.

The remaining attenuation features to the north of -the railway will be grassed features formed with 1:4 slopes

Illustrative Bewbush Brook Plan

The former inert Holmbush Land ll occupies around 30% of the Kilnwood Vale site and an area of agricultural land within Phase 1 was levelled by the placement of recycled soils.

Detailed investigations and monitoring works have con rmed that the former land ll is composed of inert construction waste materials (predominantly clay and soil with small quantities of wood and rubble) deposited at the site as the by-products of road building and development projects undertaken in the Crawley area since the 1970’s.

In order to develop the site for housing, the former land ll will be subject to remedial earthworks to protect Bewbush Brook, which runs through the site, improve the ground stability and create a landform suitable for housing development.

Small quantities of wood and organic matter will be removed as part of the remedial earthworks and gas protection measures will be incorporated within the foundations of the buildings on parts of the site in order to take away sources of ground gas and stabilise formerly marshy ground.

Phase 1 Design Vision

The sustainability strategy is being developed to incorporate a broad range of measures including the following principles:

Targeting exemplary energy ef ciency levels and carbon reduction • beyond the existing Building Regulations for the development as a whole;

Planning in the ability to utilise solar energy; •

Planning in the ability to incorporate a district heating network; •

The rst phase will look to achieve Code for Sustainable Homes level 3 • for the market dwellings and 4 for the affordable dwellings;

Homes designed to use 33% less water than the national average and • 16% less than the new Building Regulations;

Ergonomically designed recycling facilities in the home; •

Movement corridors designed with priority for pedestrian, cycle, and • public transport modes in mind.
