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. Previously completed Linden Homes development WELCOME

2 About Us Linden 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 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 0 and Housebuilder of the Year at the Ideal Home Blue Ribbon Awards 0 and 03. 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.

3 Former St Aubyns School main building Site Background This 3. hectare site comprises the former St Aubyns School, which was in operation until 03, 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 Planning policy With Brighton & Hove City Council (BHCC) aiming to deliver 3,00 new homes by 030, 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. WELCOME

4 Design KEY Site Boundary K Development Potential accesses into site The Twitten Road links 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: Important views Pink shading represents conservation area Purple shading represents listed buildings Building Frontages Protected Trees Trees/hedgerows Private playing fields War memorial 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 (6 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 Site analysis diagram Urban response diagram KEY Site Boundary Access into site Secondary movement Pedestrian/ cycle only access Protected trees Rear garden relationship to boundary Opportunity to improve existing buildings Area for potential development (dwellings & gardens) Key frontages War memorial Positive open green space and landscape opportunities Improved road width and enhanced parking along Steyning Road. Focal Greens. The addition of public greens helps to create stronger landscape connections through the site and provides useable green spaces for existing and future residents of Rottingdean WELCOME

5 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 05 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 0 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 Draft scheme layout Provision of off-road parking spaces in Steyning Road (6 spaces) Draft scheme elevations WELCOME

6 Steyning Road The Twitten Highways, Access and Parking 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. 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. 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 A59 Marine Drive. The traffic impact will be considered during the busiest times of day to ensure a robust assessment. Access arrangements The site has existing accesses onto Steyning Road and the High Street. It can also be accessed from the A59 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 A59 Marine Drive. Limited access is also proposed via St Aubyns Mead and Newlands Road. WELCOME
