Introduction
DPP are preparing to submit a reserved matters planning application to North Lincolnshire Council, on behalf of Persimmon Homes, for residential development of 388 dwellings on land west of Brigg Road and south of Horkstow Road, Barton upon Humber.
Undertaking public consultation with local residents in advance of submitting a planning application is an important part of the process for the applicants and allows members of the public and the local community to engage with the vision for the site and to provide valuable feedback on the proposals.
The site
The site measures approximately 26.31ha in size and currently comprises of two agricultural fields bounded to the north and northwest by Horkstow Road, to the east by Brigg Road, to the south by hedgerows and to the west by dense vegetation with the A15 immediately beyond. The site is located approximately 1km from Barton-upon-Humber centre and adjoins the settlement to the north.
PLANNING HISTORY
The site already has outline planning permission for residential development, with approved access from Brigg Road (A15) and Horkstow Road which was granted on appeal by the Secretary of State. The masterplan plan considered at the appeal is depicted below.
PROPOSAL
The reserved matters proposals follow, very closely, those considered as part of the outline permission and seek detailed approval for the erection of 388 new homes and include further details in respect of the proposed house types, materials, scale, and landscaping.
The layout has been refined using a landscape-led approach to reflect the topography of the site. The layout follows the contours of the land and it includes a network of green spaces such as a new ‘green’ on Horkstow Road, a central open space, a community orchard, allotments, children’s play areas and integrated drainage features. A network of footpaths and cycleways are provided within the site connecting the development together and providing recreational opportunities. Existing trees, hedgerows and key views, including towards the Humber Bridge, will be retained and enhanced.
The development will be well connected with the wider community, with new bus stops and walking and cycling routes linking the site to the wider town. A mix of homes, including family houses and 24 bungalows, are proposed with 20% provided as affordable housing to support local needs. The maximum height of any of the proposed dwellings will be 2 storeys.
