3.8 Character/Appearance 3.0 Design Proposals

Local Character Precedent Details

View of Proposed Scheme

The design team has taken time to carefully research the architecture and character of the local area to ensure a sensitive approach that is in keeping with the surrounding area.

Feature detailling such as brick arch window heads, brick soldier window head and brick quoins have been incorporated to align the building with the local character.

A similar colour and texture of red multi brick has been selected for a large proportion of the building with a contrasting white render. This elevation treatment is typical of surrounding buildings.

3.10 Landscaping 3.0 Design Proposals

The proposed amenity space around the building has been designed to be integral to the overall scheme and sympathetic to the area as a whole. The proposed design will provide a high standard of amenity for the intended occupants providing an attractive and pleasant outlook for the benefit of residents. The scheme will be managed by an appointed specialist company that will be responsible for ensuring that the grounds and landscape areas are maintained in a satisfactory manner.

This site is not untypical to others that McCarthy & Stone have successfully developed. The requirements for privacy of those using shared amenity spaces have to be balanced against its passive role of providing an attractive outlook from apartments. As such, the landscaping will be designed to provide screening and enclosure to private spaces. Additionally, the external space will also provide interest, colour and variety for the shared spaces. External low level lighting will be strategically placed to allow visibility and security within the pedestrian areas.

The site boundaries consist of 1.8m high timber fencing to the south, west and east, with the existing stone wall to the north retained and suppplementted with an evergreen hedge to the rear. This is to form screening similar to the other street frontages and also guarding from the carpark level to road level.

Please refer to TPM landscape and planting drawings for further information.

NOTES ON PLANTING

1 Topsoil / Subsoil: Topsoil shall be spread to min 450mm depth over planting beds and 150mmdepth over turf areas and graded to fall. Topsoil should be in accordance with BS3882:2015 andwhere subsoil is required, to be in line with BS8601:2013. It is recommended that samplesare tested with Certification and Analysis Reports with a concise analysis. To be providedto the landscape Architect / Client for approval. If the soil doesn't meet the BS standardspecialist advise should be received to see if the soil can be improved.

2 Herbicide and Cultivation: Topsoil to be treated with an application of herbicide prior toplanting, where necessary, strictly in accordance with the Control of Pesticides Regulations 1986(or otherwise updated / superceded legislation), and following manufacturers instructions andundertaken by qualified staff. The topsoil shall then be cultivated to 150mm depth) 3 Container Grown Shrubs, Transplants and Whips: Shrubs and transplants shall comply with theNational Plant Specification. Shrubs shall be planted in pits 300 x 300 x 200mm depth, and thebackfill shall include 3 litres Peat Free Tree and Shrub Compost. Specimen plants to be planted ina pit 400 x 400 x250mm depth with 5 litres Tree and Shrub Compost. BR whips should be notchplanted as required and healed into position. All whips to be protected by a spiral bound shrubguard secured into place with a timber cane. When in public locations it may be necessary tohave caps to the canes.

4 Herbicide: Spot treat with herbicide throughout the maintenance period in accordance withthe manufacturer's instructions.

5 Bark Mulch: All Ornamental Planting beds to receive 75mm depth pulverised ornamental barkmulch.

6 Position of Plants: Final position of trees and shrubs subject to confirmation of service locationand approval of statutory undertakers.

7 On excavation of the tree pit a bucket test should be undertaken to review the waterinfiltration. Certain species of trees will decline if the ground drainage is poor. Monitor thewater egress. If water sits for long periods or doesn't drain the pit may require further works tobreak up the ground. A clean stone drainage layer may assist to ensure that the root ball isn't satwithin standing water. TREES - EXTRA HEAVY STANDARDS Tree pits for extra heavy standards to be 1000x1000x900mmbackfilled with sub soil and 300mm topsoil. Stakes to be 65mm diameter treated softwooddriven firmly into the ground. Stakes to be 600mm above ground level and fixed to tree withsuitable rubber tree tie.

TREES - MULTI STEMMED/SELECTED STANDARDS: Tree pits for multi-stemmed trees to be600x600x600mm backfilled with sub soil and 300mm of topsoil. To be secured with a doublestake and crossbar. Stakes to be 65mm diameter treated softwood driven firmly into the ground.Stakes to be 600mm above ground level and fixed to several tree branches with suitable rubbertree ties.

8 Watering: Plant only into moist soil and water thoroughly to the full depth of soil immediatelyafter planting. Water regularly through the establishment period (minimum 3 months) toprevent dehydration. The trees should be watered through the irrigation pipe to ensure that thewater gets down to the rootball. These trees should be watered regularly throughoutspring-summer during the first 2 years to ensure that the tree root system establish well.

9 Wildflower Meadow: Timing - Sow meadow during March and April or in September. When sowing into heavy soils,sow in March/April to avoid seeds/seedlings rotting in waterlogged soils. Ground Preparation -

Control or remove weeds before sowing. For small areas, remove weeds by hand. Forlarger areas, a weed suppressing membrane or black plastic can be laid over the area 3months prior to sowing to prevent weed growth. For larger areas and where vigorousperennial weeds, such as nettles, docks and dandelions, are present in large number,non-chemical control methods may not be effective. In these situations instead spray offexisting vegetation using non-residual systemic glyphosate-containing weedkillers. Sprayapplications may be required more than once dependant on the site and time of year.Eradication of weeds is essential to the success of the establishment of the wildflowermeadow. Rotavate soil and rake to make even seed bed

Sowing - Wildflower meadow - 4 g per m2 Mix wildflower seed with silver sand to aid even seed distribution and to show area thathave been covered. Sow half lengthways and half widthways for even coverage. Rake in seeds lightly Do not sow seed if heavy rain is forecast

10 Bulb Planting: Plant spring flowering bulbs(e.g. daffodils, tulips, spring flowering crocus) inautumn and autumn flowering (e.g. autumn crocus, cyclamen) bulbs in late summer. Plant bulbsat 15 per m2. Plant bulbs at a depth 2-3 times their height with the shoot facing upwards. Refillthe holes and lightly compact soil to avoid damaging bulbs.

11 Grass Seeding: Sow late summer to mid autumn. Prepare ground by removing any existingvegetation, large stones and roughly levelling. An application of non-residual systemicglyphosate containing weedkiller may be required. Grass seed should be spread at 10g permetre squared for Eco Species Rich Lawn and 50g per metre squared otherwise.After sowing, lightly rake over area and water.

12 Turf: Complete ground preparations before turf is delivered to site to avoid turf drying out.Turf should be laid immediately on delivery. Remove all existing vegetation from area to beturfed and spread 150mm depth of top soil. Dig over or rotavate soil before laying turf if soil iscompacted. Rake, lightly compact, and water soil. Stagger the joins when laying the turf. Waterturf after laying and every day for the next 2-3 days, especially in periods of low rainfall. 13 Soil compaction is likely to have occurred during construction on site. A site inspection shouldbe carried out by a landscape professional to assess the level of soil compaction, includingdrainage testing to see if the ground is likely to become waterlogged. If the ground is deemed tobe too compacted for plant growth and to drain adequately then remediation works should becarried out. This could include rotavation of the soil using a push along rotavator and/or groundbeing broken up with spades or small machinery. A second site inspection should then take placeto ensure that the soil is fit for purpose.

14 Tree species selected subject to soil conditions and NHBC guidance. Root barriers may berequired subject to findings from soil analysis and engineer's details.

3.12 Access to the Building 3.0 Design Proposals

The development site is considered very sustainable for its intended use due to a good location in relation to public transport and amenities.

Site Accessibility

Onsite car parking is provided to the front of the site with 100% parking of 30 spaces including 2no. accessible parking spaces. A shared surface turning head has been design to allow for large vehicles to manouevre within the site and allow access for refuse vehicles adjacent to the bin store doors. Refuse and fire vehicle tracking has been undertaken to ensure functionality. Please refer to the transport statement submitted as supporting documentation for further information.

Car ownership levels amongst the elderly are relatively low, and due to the proximity to the village centre, combined with the quality of local transport links, the number of trips generated by car owners will be similarly low. In addition the management company on the site will encourage residents to give up car usage and actively promote the use of public transport. The number of spaces provided suits the usage demands of this type of develeopment on from McCarthy & Stone’s previous experience and knowledge of demand on other schemes of this nature they have developed.

There is also a scooter/cycle store provided with level access which will accommodate around 5no. scooters at ground floor level on the side of the building.

On the ground floor, as part of a weekly management regime, the refuse room will be serviced. The refuse room is provided within the building to avoid elderly occupants having to carry rubbish externally. Rubbish can then be collected by the refuse service at the designated pick up point onsite.

Building Accessibility

Access from the car park areas will be via dropped kerbs and level thresholds to allow easy access without movement being impaired, all in line with the Building Regulations Part ‘M’ guidance.

It is a functional requirement of Category 2 type Retirement Living housing that access within the building should be achievable without the need for steps. As such, level floors will be provided throughout the development. In this particular instance, access within the development is provided to all floor levels by way of a Part ‘M’ compliant lift and therefore there is no need for any resident or visitor to use the staircases. Nevertheless, these will be designed to suit the needs of ‘ambulant disabled’ people in accordance with the same guidance.

Corridors will be of suitable width for wheelchair users and the apartments will have door widths sufficient to allow access for wheelchair users.



3.13 Movement from Site3.0 Design Proposals

Refuse vehicle turning routePedestrian access to site and Main EntranceVehicle access to and from site Fire EscapesMain building entrance and scooter store accessRefuse store access

Key

Access to the site will remain with a single point of entry from Hooton Road. A turning head will allow for fire and bin vehicles to manoeuvre comfortably within the site.



4.0 Sustainability McCarthy & Stone take a holistic approach to sustainability, considering not only environmental but also social and economic sustainability. This approach is taken in both corporate governance strategy and in the design of its product – private Retirement Living housing developments for the elderly.

Sustainability Reputation

In light of the increasing urgency to address climate change, the depletion of non-renewable fossil fuels and material resources, the Client set up a ‘Sustainability Committee‘. This was first established in 2001 and has a remit to look beyond the pure environmental issues and a responsibility to integrate holistic sustainable strategies into the business decision-making. This has now become the ‘Research and Development Committee’.

The committee is continuously reviewing and strengthening the company‘s sustainability performance and credibility through strong corporate governance and the incorporation of sustainable strategies in company policies.

The Client recognises the need to reduce the carbon footprint of its buildings in line with national and local policies. In this case the proposal will produce at least 10% of its energy usage from Renewable Energy sources.

The Client‘s corporate governance policies and strategy are disclosed on its website. The policies on this website are complemented by the company‘s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) report which details the company‘s social, economic and environmental sustainability.

Below are some of the policies on the websites:1. http://www.wwf.org.uk/filelibrary/pdf/bts.pdf

2.http://www.mccarthyandstone.co.uk/planning_andenvironment/environment_

policy.asp

3. http://www.hemscott.com/internet/custom/mcty/2/csr.htm

Sustainability Strategy for the proposed development

Building construction and the use of buildings, especially their space heating, is one of the main contributors to CO² emissions in the UK. Energy conservation, the introduction of sustainable transport strategies and the incorporation of energy efficient strategies can be one way to play a part in reaching targets set for CO² emission reductions set in the Kyoto agreement, while reducing other adverse impacts on the environment. This project aims to comply with these protocols in the following ways:-

Sustainability and Land Procurement

The company selects sites which, by the very nature of their location, encourage social inclusion and cohesion, social mobility and the participation of the future residents of a potential development in the local community.

Site Location and Amenities

The proximity of this site to amenities helps to reduce dependence on the private car, thereby reducing pollution. This proximity will also help to encourage social inclusion and enable participation of future residents of the proposal within the wider community.

Transportation

The site is located within a short walking distance of public

transport, with bus stops in very close proximity.

Development Density and Diversity

The incorporation of a retirement living housing scheme within a wider residential development presents an opportunity to improve the density in accordance with the NPPF. The aim of the guidance in NPPF with regards to density is to reduce pressure on the development of Greenfield land, thereby conserving natural ecology and habitats – a sustainable strategy.

Socio-Economic Impact

The location and the nature of the proposed development will add to the range of housing choices and benefit the local economy. The ORB report ‘A Better Life for Private Sheltered Housing and Independent Living for Older People‘ clearly identifies that there is a general shortage of this kind of development and the demographics seem to indicate that this shortage will increase unless provision is stepped up.

Site Ecology, Bio Diversity and Landscaping

The proposed landscape strategy plan aims to reinforce the existing landscape quality and bio-diversity both on and off site to the benefit of residents and passers-by.

Energy Efficiency

Each separate habitable room within an apartment will be designed with independent thermal controls as standard. Communal lighting will be linked to daylight and/or movement sensors.



The majority of the spaces in each flat will be lit by low energy light fittings, especially the frequently used areas plus the internal corridor.

The main areas to be fitted with low energy light fittings will include:-hallways, kitchens and bathrooms in individual apartments 100% of all communal areas in the developments – corridors, residents’ lounge, communal kitchen, main entrance lobby and stairwells – in line with current Building Regulations

External lighting

Providing natural daylight to the majority of the proposed kitchens will in turn reduce the internal lighting load within individual flats. This is not always the case with flatted developments.

Heating, ventilation and white goods

The Pulsar Coil hot water heating system will be specified for each apartment. This system is material, maintenance and energy efficient.

It also reduces standing and transitional heat losses and uses recycled copper piping. Good thermal performance will be achieved further by the use of low-e solar control double-glazing with enhanced thermal insulation. All electrical appliances will be A-rated. Advice on these white goods will be passed onto the homeowners as part of a handover pack issued on occupation. An energy advice leaflet, specially designed by the Client, will also be given to the future residents of the scheme.

Thermal insulation and ventilation will be provided to the buildingenvelope using the standard specification in order to achieve a good EPC rating in compliance with Part L of the Buildings Regulations. Combined with a good standard of ventilation and air tightness, this will help to conserve the fuel used to power the building.

Social Needs

A handover pack will be provided for the future residents, providing information about their new home including the Green Transport Plan and advice on the energy efficient appliances installed in their homes, as well as addresses and telephone numbers for essential local services, clubs and organisations.

The proposed scheme has been designed to include principles of‘Secured by Design’ (MET initiative) and ‘Designing Out Crime’. This will be reinforced during the specification stage prior to construction, as is the case with all new McCarthy & Stone developments.

Sustainable Practices and Strategies to be used in Construction

Environmental sustainability

Pre-fabricated concrete products and, most probably mortar silos, will be used to further reduce on site water use.

The Client will issue Best Practice Guidelines to site staff on minimising and managing waste together with a system for assessing waste contractors to emphasise environmental issues, as well as regulatory, performance and cost aspects. In addition, the Client encourages suppliers to reduce surplus packaging for materials, fixtures and fittings and seek to minimise the number and effect of deliveries.

Wherever feasible, natural raw materials and products will be used in the construction process. Any packaging such as MDF, wood or plastic wrapping will be re-used to protect fragile building elements during the building process such as metallic sinks and porcelain products.

Social sustainability

The Client aims to be a good neighbour during the construction process and have a Considerate Construction Policy. This involves minimising noise at unsociable hours and a constant focus on site presentation. Site operatives will be given a health and safety induction before starting construction on site.

The Client has a Health and Safety Policy which ensures that issues are addressed on a regular basis at all levels, and have signed up to The Home Builders Federation (HBF) newly established Health and Safety Charter which promotes industry-wide improvement. Health and Safety issues are on the agenda at all McCarthy & Stone board meetings.

To promote greater management accountability and year-on-year improvement in health and safety performance, a system of internal incentives / penalties have been introduced on all of McCarthy & Stone construction sites.

Economic sustainability

The emphasis on local sourcing of effective contractors and subcontractors who can deliver their services to the construction site on time provides an opportunity for the Client to contribute to the economic viability of the local areas.

4.0 Sustainability



5.0 Community SafetyThe concept of designing a Development to Safe and Secure standards, is to provide an enhanced security perimeter, with greater emphasis on the external shell of the building. This should encourage people with criminal intentions to stay away from the Development, so that our owners are able to enjoy their surroundings in peace and safety, free from the fear of crime.

Main Entrance Door

Shall be manufactured with enhanced security in mind. All glazing to be toughened glass to Part N critical zones. All beading shall be internal, pinned and glued. The door should be supplied with matching hardwood frame and any matching side-lights shall be to the same standard as the main door and frame.

Doors and frames shall be designed and manufactued with full regard to DDA requirements.

Locking mechanism shall consist of a lock, certified to BS3621, or BS EN 1303 grade 3. The cylinder mechanism shall be lO pin high securty euro cylinder with a patented master key system. New keys will only be available from the patent holder, or their agents. In certain developments, an electronic tag may be used for authorised access in lieu of a key and euro cylinder combination. Access will also be authorised from the owners aparent electronically, via the door control system. Exit through the main entrance door wil be via thumb turn control. A heavy duty door closer shall be fitted, to maintain the door in the closed position when not being used.

Where there is a need for automatic opening doors, they shall be manufactured from powder coated aluminium, to a security standard equal to, or above the standard of wooden doors.

Access will normally be via an electronic tag, or via the owners aparment, electronically.

CCTV allowing visual and audio identification shall be linked to an access control system, allowing entr phone and door release from within owners flats, or by the House Manager.

Other external exit doors

Often referred to as “Shoppers Doors”, shall be to the same security standard as the main entrance door, but will not include any remote access facility.

Communal windows and Doors

There are some communal areas, such as the residents’ lounge, where window and Door contacts connected to the alarm panel may not be appropriate. In these circumstances an open alert alarm may be fitted, which may be overridden by key operation controlled by the House Manager.

Windows

Ground floor windows, or those windows that would be deemed easily accessible from the ground floor, shall be manufactured to enhanced security standard BS 7950 for UPVC windows. The equivalent standard for timber is BS644, or BWF Timber window accreditation scheme. All glazing to be toughened glass to Part N critical zones, toughened to the outer pane in all other areas. All glazing beads shall be internal. All windows are considered potential fire escape windows, therefore restrctors will only be used for top hung kitchen windows. Contacts shall be fitted to each opening light, connected to the alarm panel where the window is on the ground floor, or easily accessible externally.

Flat Entrance Doors

Shall be of solid construction to an enhanced security standard and comply with 30 minute fire rating. The door should be fitted with a door viewer at a height of 1,350mm, to facilitate final security prior to door opening. Locking mechanism shall consist of a lock, certified to BS3621, or BS EN 1303 grade 3. Anti drill devices are not required. The cylinder mechanism shall be 10 pin high security euro cylinder with a patented master key system. An appropriate boxed keep shall be used within the door jam. Entrance may only be via the patented security key, though exit may be via a thumb turn mechanism. The door should be fitted with a letter plate which is fire rated, fitted with a fire “collar” and fixed at least 400mm from the lock mechanism. The door will be closed by a Perko, or similar approved door closing device.

Extra Flat security

All external opening windows and doors to the ground floor and those areas easily accessible by external means, will be fitted with intruder alarm contacts, which are connected to the intruder alarm within each flat. The alarm panel will connected to the master intruder alarm panel to facilitate action, should the owner be absent from the premises. It should be noted that PIR’s are not considered a suitable substitute for door and window contacts, as they may set off a false alarm if the owner moves around the aparment during the night, when the alarm is set.



5.0 Community SafetyFire exit doors

Shall be to the same manufacturing standard as the main entrance door, but with no external access. Exit shall be via an approved panic latch. There will be an electrical connection between the fire door and the fire panel, to provide an audio and visual “open alert” alarm, if the fire door is open. All glazing to be toughened glass to Part N critical zones, toughened to the outer pane in all other areas.

Refuse room doors

The internal refuse room door from the development into the refuse area shall be to the same standard as other exit doors. The external refuse room doors shall be a pair of 30 minute fire rated framed ledged and braced doors, with monkey tail bolts to one leaf and the locking mechanism shall consist of a lock, certified to BS3621, or BS EN 1303 grade 3. The cylinder mechanism shall be 10 pin high security euro cylinder with a patented master key system. No other form of door, such as louvred, are acceptable. The lock shall have the facility to change the combination, if required to maintain securty.

Patio Doors

Patio doors shall be to the enhanced security standard BS7950 and fitted with a multipoint deadlocking system, comprising hook bolts and/or shoot bolts. Internal ironmongery shall include operating handle and lock cylinder which shall be to the same standard as the main entrance door. No external means of securing or opening to be provided to prevent residents using them as a means of access/egress on ground floors. All glazing to be toughened glass to Part N critical zones, toughened to the outer pane in all other areas. Hinges shall incorporate an anti-lift security device. All glazing beads shall be internal.

Contacts shall be fitted to each opening light, connected to the aparent alarm panel.

French Doors

French doors shall be to the enhanced security standard BS7950 and fitted with a multi-point deadlocking system, comprising hook bolts and/or shoot bolts. The fixed leaf will be secured by a bolt mechanism. Internal ironmongery shall include operating handle and lock cylinder, which shall be to the same standard as the mainentrance door. No external means of securing or opening to be provided to prevent residents using them as a means of access/egress on ground floors. Hinges shall incorporate an anti-lift securty device. All glazing to be toughened glass to Part N critical zones, toughened to the outer pane in all other areas. All glazing beads shall be internal. Contacts shall be fitted to each opening light, connected to the aparment alarm panel.

External security lighting

Lighting should be designed to iluminate external doors and vulnerable areas, such as the car park and landscaped areas. Control l be via a photo electric cell, or a time switch and lamps should be fitted with low energy lamps. Where lighting bollards areused within the car park, they should be a minimum of 1 metre away from the edge of the parking area to prevent damage when parking a vehicle. It is also good practice to position lighting to reduce glare, light pollution and deter vandalism. In certain circumstances a sensor controlled time limited light may be fitted to iluminate car park areas. External Flood Lighting should not be fitted to the main build but be installed on posts or similar separated from the building. External lighting should not cause a nuisance to adjacent flats.

Layout and access

The footprint of the building, vehicular and pedestrian access, should be designed in such a way to ensure visual openness. Careful consideration should be given to features such as change of road surface, or path materials, by colour or texture to create a psychological barrer between public access and legitimate access by owners and their visitors.

Boundaries

Boundaries to the front and side should show a clear demarcation between public and private areas. Walls, fences and planting should be kept low to maintain clear visibility. Side and rear boundares are normally more vulnerable and require more defensive solutions. Walls and fences should be a minimum of 1.8 metres high, except where more open fencing would provide more effective surveilance. Fencing with the addition of trells affixed may provide better visibility. Careful consideration should be given to planting thorny bushes and shrubs in more vulnerable areas. All planting should comply with MSL Standard Specifications Climbing Aids Special consideration should be used to design out anything that could assist with climbing to gain access to a property, such as boundary walls close to doors and windows, low flat roofs, balconies etc.

Car Parking

Car parking areas should be designed to provide maximum visibility from adjacent and overlooking flats. Lighting should be adequate to provide good visibility, as detailed in security lighting above.




5.0 Community SafetyPlanting and Landscaping

The landscape design and planting arangements should be considered integral with security and surveilance and to provide an attractive external environment.

Spiny or thorny plants should be considered for areas of potential risk, with broader leaved, lower growing plants to provide more natural surveilance. Care should be taken to avoid the creation of natural hiding places. Carefully selected trees and shrubs can be used to “green up” environments, providing horizontal and vertical interest, without adding to the crime risks, or the use for climbing.

All planting should comply with MSL Standard Specifications Seating and External Furniture. All seating, garden furnture, planters and pots should be sited with good visibility within the development. Where possible, they should be security marked and securely fixed to prevent and discourage theft.
