To create homes with associated infrastructure, the Halse Water flood alleviation scheme and the completion of the Norton Fitzwarren bypass. This infrastructure would not come forward without the relevant land to facilitate its completion and the volume of housing to make its delivery viable. Further details about Crest Nicholson can be found at our website.

Hybrid applications are commonly used in such scenarios to provide key infrastructure before the wider development can come forward or to enable the release of early phases of development while later stages are brought forward at another time.

This can spread the cost of detailed design work and is commonplace in large scale schemes. We intend to submit a planning application in Spring Nevertheless, we would hope to secure planning permission later in and to commence construction of the flood alleviation and bypass infrastructure in , delivering this in alongside the first homes. It is anticipated that reserved matters applications would follow and be granted within allowing delivery of remaining phases.

Development itself would take circa 4 years in total depending on delivery rates. Building works are inherently disruptive, but industry best practice seeks to minimise this as far as is reasonably possible. West Somerset and Taunton Council would require a Construction Environment Management Plan for a development of this type that ensures these best practice measures are put in place. This would control things such as working hours and delivery practices to prevent noise nuisance, vibration and ensure dust suppression, as well as control construction traffic.

The Strategic Flood Risk Assessment for the area identifies that the River Tone, where the Norton Brook which is fed by the Halse Water and several other tributaries join, presents a risk of flooding to large areas of land to the west of and inside Taunton — principally the areas of Tangier, North Town and Priorswood, as well as parts of Norton Fitzwarren.

This occurs because the levels of the River Tone at high rainfall events prevent the tributaries from discharging via the River. This effects approximately 1, properties with a chance of flooding of over 1 in each year under the highest flood risk classification under the Environment Agency's standards. In addition, climate change is predicted to increase the frequency and severity of such events increasing the risk by to approximately 2, properties.

The consented flood alleviation works at Ford Farm contribute to a wider series of measures organised by Somerset West and Taunton District Council and the Environment Agency by reducing flood risk within Norton Fitzwarren and slowing the discharge of flood water into the River Tone. Reducing flood risk also provides further development opportunities around the Taunton Urban Area, including at Ford Farm, to help place necessary housing growth within more sustainable locations.

Permission has been secured since for flood works at Ford Farm and more recently in to also now include the immediate surrounds under the ownership of the West Somerset Railway Trust to utilise the existing drainage network more efficiently. This comprises of:. Improved conveyance through widening of Station Road Bridge currently being completed , removing an existing bottleneck for floodwater.

Improved conveyance and storage across the site through widening of the Ford Farm Ditch and creation of a new channel along the southern and eastern boundaries linking up to the Halse Water at Station Road. Residual ground raising and bunding across the site to further protect existing and proposed properties. This permission includes parameters for a new ditch through the Ford Farm site, which our planning application will incorporate.

This will also help reduce the flood risks within the Ford Farm site. As part of the strategic development elsewhere within Norton Fitzwarren, the Halse Water and Norton Brook have been improved with channel widening and increased storage capacity. West of England Developments are currently carrying out the works to the road bridge at Station Road to facilitate the consented flood alleviation works. More widely the Norton Fitzwarren Dam was completed in to store water during heavy rainfall and allow for its slow release after such events.

This was designed to both reduce flood risk and release land for re development. The Ford Farm site however acts as a bottleneck to this facility, which is why the collective works are necessary.

It was originally intended that the bypass be delivered much earlier but this has not proved possible to date due to the costs of facilitating its building. The Council's adopted policy sets out that these works will be necessary before any housing is available at the site. This will either be secured by a legal agreement or condition on the planning permission. An ecological survey and protected species surveys have been carried out to inform the development proposals.

It is accepted that the development and any delivery of the flood alleviation scheme and bypass will have some impacts. In mitigation extensive areas of ecological enhancement are proposed that will overall increase biodiversity. Buffer areas are proposed to the hedgerows and waterways to ensure appropriate habitat protection. A Landscape and Ecological Management Plan will ensure that any disruption during construction works is minimised and the public open space and habitat is actively managed and secured for ecological benefits into the future.

A transport assessment has been compiled. This carries out a traffic modelling assessment based on a national database of completed developments that can be selected based on similar scenarios to provide industry best practice comparable 'real world' outcomes. This concludes that the proposal would have an acceptable impact upon traffic within the local area, notwithstanding the benefits from the completion of the bypass to Norton Fitzwarren.

Safe access via the completed bypass will be provided, including pedestrian and cycle connections. The provision of housing brings in new people who utilise local services. Funding is secured from new development via the Council in order to address this additional demand. This is achieved by two mechanisms: the Community Infrastructure Levy and what are known as 'section contributions'. The Community Infrastructure Levy secures money from developments to be used to fund a wider range of local services.

This figure would be calculated at the time of the grant of consent for any single phase once the total floorspace was known. In addition to this, 'section contributions' are financial payments made by developers to ensure that new development does not increase pressure on local infrastructure and services and can be used to fund specific services not addressed by the Community Infrastructure Levy.

Contributions can be made towards a range of infrastructure and services, such as affordable housing and education. As set out elsewhere within this website, we anticipate that viability constraints could limit the extent of possible planning contributions.
