9 ibrochure DESCRIPTION Broadly triangular in shape, the Mill Lane site measures approximately circa ha (42.1 acres). The site benefits from substantial river frontage with the River Thames to the east and the Jubilee River to the west. Mill Lane, which runs through the site, is accessible directly from the A4 and provides a direct link to the centre of Taplow village. There is potential that an additional 1.55 acres could be acquired by Watchword Limited in Administration which could increase the size of the site. Lying within the Taplow Riverside Conservation Area, comprises a mix of land uses including the former paper mill and ancillary buildings, the Skindles Hotel, period houses including Mill Island House, the derelict Dunloe Lodge and the Grade II Listed Glen Island House, a vacant warehouse site, car showroom and boat yard. In total the total footprint of the existing buildings across the site has been estimated at 13,602 sq m (146,411 sq ft). Neighbouring land uses include the National Grid gas holder site

11 ibrochure OPPORTUNITY The opportunity at Mill Lane provides an attractive and tranquil setting for a high quality residential scheme set within established landscaping. Situated along the banks of the River Thames and Jubilee River, the newly developed dwellings will benefit from extensive river views and access to the large areas of open green spaces. As outlined in the attached Planning Report, potential exists for a residential scheme of houses and apartments, in addition to an element of space for commercial use. There is also the potential for further site assembly in particular in regard to incorporating the National Grid gasholder site. A housing number has not yet been derived and much will depend on the quality of design as to how many units can be delivered on site, along with an appropriate level of employment generating development. The Spatial Strategy suggests that the Mill Lane site is likely to come forward for redevelopment early in the period, enhancing the Taplow Riverside Conservation Area, delivering a new hotel and housing (around 100 new homes), and providing better public access to the River Thames and Jubilee River.

12 PLANNING South Bucks District Council adopted the Mill Lane Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) in July Mill Lane, Taplow, is identified as an Opportunity Site in the South Buckinghamshire Core Strategy (adopted in February 2011). The Mill Lane SPD establishes the principles that will guide future development on the Mill Lane site. The SPD is intended to guide the preparation of detailed plans for regeneration of Mill Lane and bridge the policy gap between the broad Core Strategy policy and a detailed planning application. Broadly, the SPD sets out the principles for development on site and covers constraints, opportunities, development areas, design principles and phasing. Amongst other things, the brief establishes the following: Residential development is acceptable on site; Minimise the impact of the new traffic generated on the A4 Bath Road; Provision of a new footbridge to the north of the site linking the site to land Boulter s Lock; Ensure there is no net loss of jobs on site (circa 200 jobs); Core Strategy Core Policy 15 relates specifically to the Mill Lane Opportunity Site. It confirms that the site is a Major Developed site in the Green Belt, and requires a comprehensive, conservation-led approach to the regeneration of the site, with a high-quality mix of development, watercourses and parkland. Uses considered suitable on the site include residential, commercial development (for example offices, a café / restaurant, marina / boatyard), a hotel (potentially on the current Skindles site) and open space. A copy of the SPD is available for download from the Technical Information page. > SUMMARY > LOCATION > DESCRIPTION > OPPORTUNITY > PLANNING > TECHNICAL INFORMATION > GALLERY > MORE INFO / CONTACT
