WelcomeWelcome to our public exhibition. Today we are displaying our draft proposals for a high-quality residential development of the former St Aubyns School site, which Linden Homes acquired an interest in last year.

Since then, we have been evolving initial proposals for the site with its owners, the Cothill Educational Trust (CET). As part of this early work, discussions have been held with close neighbours and a range of local representatives. Our planning application will cover the whole site (see site plan above).

We are now keen to hear as many views as possible from the wider, local community. Please ask a member of the team for a feedback form, which you can either leave with us today or return later in one of the freepost envelopes that are available.

Thank you for visiting today’s event and we look forward to hearing your thoughts.

About UsLinden Homes is the country’s

fifth largest housebuilder. We

are the housebuilding division

of Galliford Try, one of the UK’s

leading construction companies.

We are based in Guildford

and are one of 11 regional offices

that operate right across England,

from Cornwall to Northumberland.

With a reputation for bespoke and creative

developments in prime locations, Linden

Homes prides itself on its high quality of

design. Linden Homes was named Best

Sustainable Developer at the Housebuilder

Awards 2014 and Housebuilder of the Year

at the Ideal Home Blue Ribbon Awards

2014 and 2013.

Engaging with local communities is

central to the work that we do. We

understand that if we are to deliver

houses that not only meet the

aspirations of those who seek to live

in them but also enhance the existing

neighbourhood, then we need to talk

to and engage with local people.

By seeking out local knowledge and

listening to local opinion, we are able

to build a fuller picture. We can identify

the wider benefits that development

can bring to the existing community.

Linden Homes is proud to be part of

the Considerate Constructors’ scheme

and works hard with local communities

throughout the construction process.

7 | CASE STUDY



Site BackgroundThis 3.4 hectare site comprises the former St Aubyns School, which was in operation until 2013, and associated private playing fields. The site contains a range of buildings dating from a variety of periods. The main building fronting the High Street is of key importance; the building is Grade II Listed, as is the flint boundary wall which also fronts onto the High Street.

As mentioned above, the site incorporates private playing fields to the east of the school campus, separated by the Twitten. The Twitten and playing fields are located outside of the Conservation Area.

Suitability

• Government policy encourages making good use of brownfield sites within developed areas for new homes. This approach helps reduce the need to build new homes on greenfield sites outside of developed areas

• The site has been identified for development by BHCC and the Parish Council to accommodate some form of housing in the future

• Adjacent land, which previously formed part of the site’s private playing fields, has also been developed to provide housing – St Aubyns Mead

• It is a sustainable place for new housing, close to the heart of the village

Former St Aubyns School main building

Planning policy

With Brighton & Hove City Council (BHCC) aiming to deliver 13,200 new homes by 2030, there is a need to see sufficient land made available. This site has been identified as having a role to play in helping meet this requirement and, as such, a Planning Brief has now been approved by the Council.

While recognising the content of the Planning Brief, we continue to believe that the site can make a significant contribution to addressing the city’s housing need, alongside delivering wider local benefits.

We remain focused on preparing a viable and high-quality scheme, which seeks to secure the future of the listed former school building and introduce areas of public open space onto this private site.

Design

Development We have appointed award-winning architectural practice, Fluid, to help us design the scheme for this site, taking into account the listed building and associated constraints, alongside local styles and characteristics. They have analysed the area via site visits and a range of technical studies. The key constraints and opportunities are as follows:

Constraints

• The site’s listed building (the main school building) and the flint wall fronting the High Street

• The existing trees located within the site’s grounds which are protected by Tree Preservation Orders

• The changing nature of the site’s topography

• The school campus area being located within the Rottingdean Conservation Area

• The important views from Newlands Road and Steyning Road

Opportunities

• Enhancement and preservation of the listed school building

• Provision of open market and affordable homes in a sustainable central location

• Delivery of areas of public open space/focal greens and landscape opportunities – on a site currently within private ownership

• Improvement of parking along Steyning Road through the provision of additional spaces (16 spaces)

• Retention of the war memorial

• Creation of pedestrian and cycle links through the site

• Creation of pedestrian links to and from the Twitten into the site

Our Draft

Proposals In the coming months, we propose to submit a detailed planning application to BHCC, which will be accompanied by a range of technical reports and information, seeking approval for:

• Approximately 105 open market and affordable dwellings, comprising two, three, four and five bed houses and a mix of apartments

• Restoration and conversion of the listed building into six apartments

• Approximately 220 parking spaces, which will include visitor spaces and which is in excess of the Council’s recommended parking standards

• Provision of new village green style areas of public open space –

• It is our thinking that these parts of the site could be handed over to the Parish Council for their control, supported by a sinking fund to assist with future management costs

• Retention and improvement of the Twitten, with footpath connections into the site

• Provision of off-road parking spaces in Steyning Road (16 spaces)

Highways, Access and Parking

Parking

To avoid overspill onto surrounding local roads, our proposals include dedicated parking spaces for scheme residents and also visitors.

The level of parking has regard to BHCC’s own parking standards and allows for the size of the dwelling, levels of car ownership in Rottingdean and the requirement for visitor parking. We do not anticipate that there will be any overspill onto surrounding streets.

To assist with parking on the surrounding streets, it is proposed that the scheme could provide dedicated parking bays along Steyning Road – we would welcome your views on this.

Access arrangements

The site has existing accesses onto Steyning Road and the High Street. It can also be accessed from the A259 Marine Drive via Marine Court.

It is proposed that the development would be accessed principally via Steyning Road, which accords with the preferred access location identified in the Planning Brief prepared by the City Council. In addition, limited access to parts of the site is proposed from the existing accesses onto the High Street and A259 Marine Drive. Limited access is also proposed via St Aubyns Mead and Newlands Road.

Traffic impact

The traffic impact of the development is currently being assessed using a methodology discussed with the City Council. The impact on the local highway network will be robustly tested, allowing for the traffic associated with the previous activities on the site.

Assessments will incorporate the local roads surrounding the site, including the High Street and the A259 Marine Drive. The traffic impact will be considered during the busiest times of day to ensure a robust assessment.


Highways

The planning application will be accompanied by a comprehensive Transport Assessment, which is currently being prepared by i-Transport. This will be scrutinised by the local highway authority (Brighton & Hove City Council) and the development will only be allowed to proceed if it is acceptable in transport terms.

The site is situated in a sustainable location, being well within comfortable walking distance of the centre of Rottingdean where there are a range of local facilities that can serve many of the daily needs of residents. Rottingdean is accessible by public transport, with numerous bus services all within walking distance of the site.

Riverside, Godalming development Under construction

Key facts

• This development represents a total investment of £22.7 million by Linden Homes into the local area.

• 147 new homes will be built, including 37 affordable properties (which are available through Registered Provider Affinity Sutton) for shared ownership or affordable rent.

• The new homes are being occupied by local people – almost half (47%) of buyers have come from within 10 miles of the development.

• Prospective residents are also being assisted by the Government’s Help to Buy scheme, which can help people buy their home with just a 5% deposit. So far, 35% of the 52 homes scheduled to be built this year have seen buyers exercise this option to get on the property ladder.

Economic benefits

• 130 jobs have been created on-site to date, with many trades being local and coming from Surrey or Hampshire. This includes 20 professional consultants, including architects and engineers, as well as more than 100 contractors.

• The development will generate almost £1.3 million in New Homes Bonus payments for Waverley Borough Council over the next six years. This can be spent on improving local services and public spaces.

• It is also contributing almost £725,000 in S106 payments into the local community. This includes almost £340,000 towards primary school places, over £100,000 for play equipment and sports pitches and more than £85,000 towards improvement works to a local leisure centre.

• In addition, Linden Homes has sponsored Godalming’s Staycation Music Festival and made a donation to Godalming Junior School’s ‘Pitch In’ campaign to raise funds for a new playground.

Case Study: Riverside, Godalming, Surrey Linden Homes’ Riverside development is situated next to the picturesque River Wey in Godalming, Surrey and provides views across the idyllic water meadows. Our significant investment into this site is delivering 147 much-needed new homes, including 37 affordable properties. This new community boasts a range of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom family houses, as well as a selection of 1 and 2 bedroom apartments.

‘ Our friends and family who have visited us love our new home. It feels like we have spent our money very well here. We’re very settled and we can’t wait to get home these days and enjoy being here’

Matthew Murgatroyd, new resident at Riverside.

Community Benefits

The St Aubyns scheme would deliver a range of benefits to the local community, including:

• The restoration of the main school building, securing the future of this prominent listed asset

• Much-needed affordable housing in the area

• New areas of public open space in the centre of the village

• The potential to generate around £829,000 of contributions to BHCC through the government’s New Homes Bonus scheme*

• Access improvements to the Twitten

• Off-road parking for residents and existing users along Steyning Road

• An economic boost for local businesses through additional footfall from new scheme residents

• Creation of up to 157 jobs on-site during the scheme’s construction**, coupled with opportunities for those seeking apprenticeships in the industry

• Highly energy-efficient new homes, built to the latest standards, helping to reduce the cost of utility bills

• A Section 106 package of contributions to education, health and infrastructure to be discussed and agreed with officers

*Based on a scheme of 105 homes
