    Cottingham Neighbourhood PlanCot-F Concept StatementMarch 2014

    Prominent gateway site, highly visible from the main road with open and far-reaching views across agricultural land towards the Humber Bridge and beyond.

    Established hedge boundaries to the site offer a natural edge to the main road and provide habitats for wildlife, as well as an attractive route for pedestrians walking towards the village centre.

    Close connections to a wider green network are available directly adjacent to the site.

    The site enhances the rural character of Cottingham, providing a breathing space upon entrance and exit to the village. This space is also valuable for patients/visitors to the hospital as a calming and natural setting during times of recovery.

    Willerby Low Road is a noted historical route, the importance of this route should be considered in any future development.

    The site acts as a location for food production. Local production and service provision is key to a sustainable future.

    The site acts as a natural drainage and attenuation point for rainwater, reducing surface run-off and easing local flooding issues.

    The site is connected to the main village by a frequent bus service, with stops along Castle Road, reducing the need for car journeys.

    Opportunities to integrate the new development with the existing community, and for the project to act as a catalyst for wider improvements to the area such as increased traffic calming and flood attenuation.

    Key

    1) The development will be designed to work with the natural assets of the site, and allow the key positive aspects to be maintained and enhanced. The development will also be of a style and configuration sympathetic to the rural character of the location and the historical character of the wider village. Local design details and materials specific to Cottingham will be used to develop an imaginative sense of place and identity.

    2) The scheme will be set around a variety of public open spaces designed to create opportunities for formal/ informal recreation as well as areas for new habitats and food production, forming a network of green routes that connect through to surrounding areas. Green buffer zones along Castle Road, Willerby Low Road and the southern site boundary will minimise visual impact and reduce audible traffic noise within.

    3) The site will include a mixture of densities, suitably arranged to maximise viability and minimise impact on adjacent properties. Density of the development will be lower towards the east to minimise the impact on existing housing (dormer bungalow). Density will increase to the west where the site faces Castle Hill hospital (2 storey houses/flats). A maximum height of 2 storeys will be imposed across all densities.

    4) Development will be strategically placed to form viewing corridors to key focal points (such as the Humber Bridge). Streets will be designed to encourage natural surveillance, defensible space and to avoid high speed traffic or rat runs. Cul-de-sac development may be one option to achieve this, but links between streets should still exist to promote interaction between residents. On all streets, shared surfaces will be considered as a way of slowing traffic and improving the landscaping of the development.

    5) Access to the site will consider the effect on local roads, especially Castle Road. Access points to the extreme east and west of the site could minimise impact. Improvements of the Castle Road/Green Lane junction should also be improved if chosen as an access point. Roundabouts, traffic lights or other measures may offer improved traffic circulation at key junctions, though this will require more detailed discussions with highway engineers.

    6) Management of water will be a key issue. Existing site drainage will be protected and enhanced as a landscape feature. New sustainable urban drainage (SUD) is to be included to maximise water storage capacity and form landscape features. Attenuation ponds will be created to the lowest points of the site. These could be used for recreational purposes and provide an attractive outlook to surrounding properties. More permanent water features could also be included as areas for natural habitats and for place making.

    7) Development will be arranged to maximise opportunities for passive sustainable design and for the incorporation of sustainable technologies. The large south facing aspect of the site will be utilised in this regard. Alongside this, development should aim to achieve 12 Greens as part of Building For Life 12, to encourage a high quality, well connected and place specific outcome.

    Site Assets

    green corridor

    1) Development will be designed to work with the natural assets of the site, allowing key positive aspects to be maintained and enhanced. Key views to and from surrounding listed buildings will be protected by the adoption of viewing corridors and green spaces, and the zoning of housing densities, linking the development to its surroundings and minimising impact on surrounding residents.

    2) Wherever possible existing hedges and landscape features will be protected and enhanced, defining street edges. Trees to the edge of the site boundary will screen the development from the surrounding properties, with extended green areas located directly adjacent to existing properties, minimising the effect of the new development, as well as masking the sewage works. Existing playing fields will be relocated to Cot-K with appropriate facilities, including off-road car-parking.

    3) The site will include a mixture of densities, suitably arranged to minimise impact on adjacent properties. To the north of the site, low or medium density housing will be provided, which steps down in height to the open areas to the north. To the south of the site, higher density, up to four stories, will be acceptable, stepping up to match the massing of the university accommodation. Higher and more focused density will allow an increase in green amenity space between buildings, encouraging an increase in soft landscapes and vegetation cover.

    4) Housing will pay reference to the more contemporary surrounding listed buildings, by using a similar massing, material palette and typology of dwelling. This will allow the setting of the listed buildings to be maintained and enhanced. New housing which overlooks these listed buildings could echo the distinctive plan form and settings, and at the same time maximising the south facing aspect.

    5) Vehicular access points need to be considered that minimise the traffic impact on Park Lane and mitigate the sharp curve to the south east of the site. Access routes in the new development could also form a replacement access to Badgers Wood, freeing up further space on the site for development. An access road and pedestrian/cycle route from Northgate to the Park Lane bend through The Lawns following the original route of Park Lane would be one way of limiting extra traffic on Park Lane, linking up to the existing bus route that serves The Lawns.The provision of a pedestrian / cycle route from Park Lane through the Cot-D site and / or The Lawns is an essential element in this regard. The existing junction between Park Lane and Northgate should be improved to improve traffic flow and highway safety.

    6) Provision will be made across the site to reduce the impact of water/flooding and sewerage, which are key issues for the development. Hard and soft landscaping should be permeable to allow ground water storage, and attenuation ponds provided to the east of the site where historical ponds were located. Rainwater harvesting and grey water re-use should be promoted with suitable storage facilities, alongside Sustainable Urban Drainage methods.

    7) Sustainability should be an integral consideration for the new development. Car usage should be discouraged through sustainable transport connections, housing tenure and typology. Utilisable spaces on roofs and walls should be harnessed to achieve certain sustainability measures. In general, consideration of the Building For Life 12 principles will be encouraged to promote successful place making and attractive streetscapes.

    Development Principles

    Attenuation pond / landscape feature in location of historic drainage ponds at lowest point of site. This forms part of a green buffer zone to the east and west of the site reducing visual impact of the development on surrounding properties

    Proposed pedestrian link and vehicular route to provide safe route from the new development to Northgate. Green tree/hedge planting along route to provide attractive route. This may also reduce traffic impact on Park Lane

    Sports fields moved to Cot-K to replace that being lost on the development site. Associated infrastructure, services and parking will also need to be provided in this area

    Possible junction improvement to increase traffic flow. The curve on the bend of Park Lane to be increased to improve turning. This junction is also the start of the proposed new route to Northgate

    Existing sewage works to be screened from new development as part of green buffer zone. Hedges to line route providing access for maintenance and repairs. New access to Badgers Wood to loop round again creating seperation from housing

    Potential extra development area (in red) formed by re-routing the access road to Badgers Wood. This would allow more dwellings to be built in a more high density area. Green links to connect all areas of the new development

    Green space in between higher density blocks with pedestrian crossings over access road. Buildings to reference the listed halls of residence in scale, materiality and massing. Internal spaces can also be used for parking

    Pedestrian and cycle links to me made available through green buffer zones as an attractive and safe route. These should link to the wider green network of the village

    Light Orange = lower density development with less impact on surrounding properties. Dark Orange = higher density development moving south/west towards The Lawns

    This plan indicates conceptual land use, urban design ideas, spatial arrangements and landscape features. Detailed layouts and design will emerge and vary as further work is undertaken.

  • an introduction to the Cottingham Neighbourhood plan exhibition

    throughout 2014, a small team of consultants commissioned by Cottingham Parish Council, have been working with local people, groups, and organisations to produce a neighbourhood Plan for the whole of Cottingham Parish.

    a neighbourhood Plan allows local people to draw up their own proposals for new development and environmental protection to supplement the policies and proposals contained in the East Riding of Yorkshire Councils own plans and policies for the area. this exhibition allows you to make comments on/have discussions around/endorse the work which has been carried out to date.

    the Cottingham neighbourhood Plan will comprise of three main elements: -

    1. 10 general Policies covering the whole of the Parish dealing with such issues as Sustainable Drainage, Design Quality, and the retention of open land between Cottingham and adjoining settlements;

    2. a Design handbook, offering advice and guidance to future developers throughout the neighbourhood Plan area together with a set of criteria against which future planning applications can be assessed. at this exhibition you will find a large poster which illustrates the scope and thinking behind the need for a handbook. Further supporting detail on each section will be drawn up over the autumn which will form the complete handbook. it is expected that developers will need to apply rules of the guidance for a minimum of 80% of any proposed new development for each criteria as outlined on the poster.

    3. a series of Concept Statements for each of the main development sites proposed within the neighbourhood Plan area.

    all three elements have been drawn up in extensive consultation workshops with local people, including residents in the vicinity of the proposed development sites.

    it is now time to share the results of this work with a wider and larger audience and we hope that you will provide us with valuable comments, suggestions and ideas as we move towards a local referendum and (hopefully!) formal adoption of the proposals within the neighbourhood Plan.

    For further information please contact David hickling the neighbourhood Plan Co-ordinator on 01964-551017 or e-mail him on [email protected]. alternatively you can get in touch through twitter or Facebook:

    location Specific policies

    Development of this site should be in general accordance with the principles set out in the Concept Statement. the layout of the site and dwelling designs should take full advantage of the extensive views to the south-west and the opportunities afforded for solar gain. Existing hedgerows and trees should be retained wherever possible with additional planting on site boundaries. the main site access should be taken off harland way at the northern extremity of the site. if required, access to smaller areas could be provided from mill Lane and / or Eppleworth Road, but there should be no provision for through- traffic. Lower density development should be provided in the eastern part of the site, (including frontage development along harland Way), with medium and higher densities towards the central and western sections. the target density for this site is 250 dwellings with dwelling heights not to exceed two-and a half storeys.

    location Specific policies

    Development of this site should be in general accordance with the principles set out in the Concept Statement. the development should create a tree-lined gateway to the village along Castle Road with improved cycle and pedestrian facilities serving all entrances to Castle hill hospital. Vehicular access to the site should be off Castle Road with footpath / cycle links to the east and north. all site boundaries should be adequately landscaped with existing hedgerows along Castle Road and Willerby Low Road being retained wherever possible. the site layout should be based around a series of open spaces linked by footpath / cycle ways and incorporate surface water management facilities. Public views towards the humber Bridge should be retained with higher density development being provided towards the western section of the site. the target density for this site is 246 dwelling units with no units more than two and a half storeys in height.

    Cot F

  • Cottingham Neighbourhood PlanCot-F Concept StatementMarch 2014

    Prominent gateway site, highly visible from the main road with open and far-reaching views across agricultural land towards the Humber Bridge and beyond.

    Established hedge boundaries to the site offer a natural edge to the main road and provide habitats for wildlife, as well as an attractive route for pedestrians walking towards the village centre.

    Close connections to a wider green network are available directly adjacent to the site.

    The site enhances the rural character of Cottingham, providing a breathing space upon entrance and exit to the village. This space is also valuable for patients/visitors to the hospital as a calming and natural setting during times of recovery.

    Willerby Low Road is a noted historical route, the importance of this route should be considered in any future development.

    The site acts as a location for food production. Local production and service provision is key to a sustainable future.

    The site acts as a natural drainage and attenuation point for rainwater, reducing surface run-off and easing local flooding issues.

    The site is connected to the main village by a frequent bus service, with stops along Castle Road, reducing the need for car journeys.

    Opportunities to integrate the new development with the existing community, and for the project to act as a catalyst for wider improvements to the area such as increased traffic calming and flood attenuation.

    Site Assets

  • 1) The development will be designed to work with the natural assets of the site, and allow the key positive aspects to be maintained and enhanced. The development will also be of a style and configuration sympathetic to the rural character of the location and the historical character of the wider village. Local design details and materials specific to Cottingham will be used to develop an imaginative sense of place and identity.

    2) The scheme will be set around a variety of public open spaces designed to create opportunities for formal/ informal recreation as well as areas for new habitats and food production, forming a network of green routes that connect through to surrounding areas. Green buffer zones along Castle Road, Willerby Low Road and the southern site boundary will minimise visual impact and reduce audible traffic noise within.

    3) The site will include a mixture of densities, suitably arranged to maximise viability and minimise impact on adjacent properties. Density of the development will be lower towards the east to minimise the impact on existing housing (dormer bungalow). Density will increase to the west where the site faces Castle Hill hospital (2 storey houses/flats). A maximum height of 2 storeys will be imposed across all densities.

    4) Development will be strategically placed to form viewing corridors to key focal points (such as the Humber Bridge). Streets will be designed to encourage natural surveillance, defensible space and to avoid high speed traffic or rat runs. Cul-de-sac development may be one option to achieve this, but links between streets should still exist to promote interaction between residents. On all streets, shared surfaces will be considered as a way of slowing traffic and improving the landscaping of the development.

    5) Access to the site will consider the effect on local roads, especially Castle Road. Access points to the extreme east and west of the site could minimise impact. Improvements of the Castle Road/Green Lane junction should also be improved if chosen as an access point. Roundabouts, traffic lights or other measures may offer improved traffic circulation at key junctions, though this will require more detailed discussions with highway engineers.

    6) Management of water will be a key issue. Existing site drainage will be protected and enhanced as a landscape feature. New sustainable urban drainage (SUD) is to be included to maximise water storage capacity and form landscape features. Attenuation ponds will be created to the lowest points of the site. These could be used for recreational purposes and provide an attractive outlook to surrounding properties. More permanent water features could also be included as areas for natural habitats and for place making.

    7) Development will be arranged to maximise opportunities for passive sustainable design and for the incorporation of sustainable technologies. The large south facing aspect of the site will be utilised in this regard. Alongside this, development should aim to achieve 12 Greens as part of Building For Life 12, to encourage a high quality, well connected and place specific outcome.

    Development Principles

    green corridor

    Green tree lined buffer zone to Castle Road / Willerby Low Road and Southern boundary to provide reduced visual and audible impact from traffic. Pedestrian/cycle links through green space to be created

    Proposed pedestrian crossing point across Castle Road with links to surrounding green / transportation routes. Pedestrian safety improved. To be discussed with highway engineers

    Potential vehicular access point screened from surrounding properties by green buffer zone. Access points to be designed to minimise impact on Castle Road traffic levels

    Junction improvement to increase traffic flow. Roundabouts, traffic lights or other measures may improve traffic circulation at key junctions (requires more detailed discussion)

    Public landscape focal point with views towards open countryside and Humber Bridge. Forms centre of wider network of linked green spaces for recreation, habitat creation and food production

    Smaller local green space for recreation and food production. Strategically placed these can be the focal point for clusters of housing and promote a sense of community.

    Attenuation ponds included to the lowest points of the site. Used for a variety of recreational purposes and provide an attractive outlook to surrounding houses

    Existing site drainage protected and enhanced as landscape feature alongside green space. New sustainable urban drainage (SUD) included across the site

    Light Orange = lower density development with less impact on surrounding properties. Dark Orange = higher density development opposite the hospital site. Maximum 2 storeys across both areas

    This plan indicates conceptual land use, urban design ideas, spatial arrangements and landscape features. Detailed layouts and design will emerge and vary as further work is undertaken.
