1Planning ContextSunderland City Council aims to increase the supply of larger family properties to ensure that the housing stock meets the needs and aspirations of the city’s existing and future residents. The site has been considered as suitable for housing in the Council’s Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) 2017.

Planning ApplicationMiller Homes intend to submit a detailed planning application to Sunderland City Council for the construction of 64 residential dwellings on the site including means of access, landscaping and open space. The proposal consists of large family homes (4 & 5 bed) in order to meet the housing needs of the local area.

Thank you for attending today’s consultation in relation to the proposed residential development on land adjacent to South Bents.

Prior to submitting a planning application to Sunderland City Council, we are keen to hear your views on the draft proposals. This exhibition presents an opportunity for the local community to influence the draft proposals that will ultimately form part of a planning application to the Council.Any comments received at this stage will be taken into account where possible, during preparation of the proposed plans for the site. It should be noted that there will be further opportunities to submit comments directly to Sunderland City Council once the planning application has been submitted.

The site is currently owned by the University of Sunderland however the University is consolidating its estate to focus on its core business, ensuring graduates can continue to leave equipped with the high-level skills and abilities that businesses need to thrive, long into the future. The location and nature of the site does not support the University’s core business, however, its disposal for housing will release capital investment that can support the University’s core business at St Peter’s and in the City Centre.

Site FeaturesThe site is currently used as informal open space. The site houses a number of established tree species; in particular a tree-line which runs through the centre of the site. These elements are of varying quality but add maturity and character to the site. As such there is a desire to retain these features thus enhancing the final development proposal.

An existing drainage ditch runs to the west and south of the site, accommodating water run-off from the grassland. This element will be retained and rerouted within the proposed site layout and overall drainage strategy.

Site Sustainability The site has been identified as suitable for housing by Sunderland City Council as sustainable for housing. The site affords a natural extension to the well-established existing residential area the site offers easy access of a range of local amenities.

Sunderland city centre is in easy reach; with the A184 and A183 both in close proximity of the site boundary. There are also regular public transport links to Sunderland, Newcastle/ Gateshead and South Shields via bus or train. Facilities and services on offer in Seaburn include a major food store, local convenience stores and a range of independent retailers including bars and restaurants.

Site DescriptionThe site is located along the southern boundary of South Bents and is North West of former The Seaburn Centre and Morrisons. The land is surrounded by existing housing developments to both the North and East boundary, as well as, open space to the South and private land along the western boundary.

3Proposed LayoutAn Indicative Masterplan has been produced in order to illustrate the potential form of the development.

The evolution of the design has been influenced by an assessment of the site’s opportunities and constraints (please see board 2). This has dictated the layout of the development which seeks to enhance natural features and provides connections and access to the green spaces currently utilised by the local community to the south. It order to add security and safety to these areas plots have been positioned in such a way to encourage natural surveillance and community use.

Footpaths & ConnectionsConnections through and around the site have been integrated in the emerging proposals. This emphasis on pedestrian routes; both informal and formal, allows for connecting pockets of green space which naturally meander throughout the development.

LandscapeThe routes mentioned above will be enhanced through the landscape strategy for the scheme, creating a series of incidental open spaces and well observed public open space. Building on the existing natural features the development is a low density scheme.

4Drainage Strategy

Highway Strategy

Drainage

The site currently contributes to existing surface water flood risk on adjacent land as no restriction on run off rates.

The proposed development will capture rainwater falling onto the site, which will be attenuated on site before being discharged to the existing watercourse. This will ensure flood risk is not increased due to development.

The site attenuation incorporates underground storage and dry Sustaibable Urban Drainage (SuDS) detention basins to ensure surface water is retained on site. The basins will remain dry during less intense rainfall, and are only required to contain water during periods of extreme rainfall up to and including the 1 in 100 year event, including a climate change allowance at 40%.

An existing flow path enters the site from the western boundary. This will be diverted using an underground culvert, designed to ensure existing flows are not reduced.

The detailed design process will be progressed closely with the Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA) and Northumbria Water (NWL).

Highway

A Transport Assessment is being prepared to support the planning application which will assess the capacity of the highway network and the proposed junction for the site. The approach to that assessment has been agreed with Sunderland City Council and uses industry standard software to model and assess potential impacts in the locality.

As can be seen on the traffic flow diagrams, the development will generate approximately 40 two-way trips at the A183/ South Bents Avenue junction in both the morning and evening peak hour. This equates to 1 additional trip every minute, which is considered to be negligible in terms of impact.

Vehicular access to the site will be provided from South Bents Avenue, in the form of a new priority T-junction, with good visibility at the junction along South Bents Avenue in both directions.

Parking provision within the site will be provided in accordance with the adopted local guidelines and standards, thus ensuring no adhoc parking taking place in the existing estate.

A Construction Management Plan will be prepared to ensure that traffic associated with construction works does not have a detrimental impact on the surrounding community.

The proximity of the site to services and facilities, good connectivity and public transport will encourage residents to utilise sustainable modes of travel, encouraged by a Travel Plan to be agreed with the council. In particular:

• Both Seaburn Dene Primary School and Monkwearmouth School can be reached within a 20 minute walk of the development site.

• Sunderland city centre can be reached within a 30 minute cycle ride via National Cycle Route Number 1 and there are a number of large employment which can be reached within an accessible cycle ride of the development site including Sunderland Enterprise Park.

• There are bus stops on the A183, which can be reached within a 5-6 minute walk of the development site and provide regular and frequent services to a range of useful destinations including South Shields and Sunderland.

Landscape Led Layout

The masterplan for the site has resulted from a landscape-led site analysis.Existing landscape features retained within the layout include the linear strip of planting through the centre of the site and the good quality boundary planting to the west. The majority of the central strip of trees will be protected during construction with only two small sections removed to allow access to the western half of the site. This feature is to be enhanced with tree works and pruning to remove lower quality vegetation.

Landscape Principles

• Existing vegetation - The strategy seeks to retain the majority of existing trees and valuable vegetation within the site. New supplementary planting along with on-going landscape management proposals will be put in place to ensure the value of existing vegetation as a screening element continues in perpetuity and to promote healthy growth of existing trees throughout the site.

• Replacement planting - Where trees are required to be removed to allow access through the site it is proposed to mitigate their loss through the provision of planting within open spaces, reinforcement of existing boundaries, creation of a key landscape buffer to the west of the site and the introduction of individual trees throughout the site.

• Access to open space - Consideration will be given to the access and availability of open spaces throughout the site. The circulation paths within the open spaces will be informal in nature and will either be mown grass or aggregate footpaths.

• Landscape Character - The landscape character areas will generally be split between the SANGs green corridors (to the north, west and south), the formal Public Open Space area in the north east corner of the site, the areas around the SuDs basins, the eastern boundary and planting of the residential areas.

• SuDS – Swales, ditches and SuDs basins are proposed within the buffers to the south and west boundaries and within open spaces throughout the layout. Proposed SuDs basins will be designed to be dry for the majority of the time allowing them to be flexible spaces providing play and open space opportunities.

• Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace (SANG) - SANG provision within the site will consistof proposed informal spaces, in accordance with the Green Infrastructure proposals, will be provided with mown grass footpaths to give dog owners a local area and circuit in which they can walk their dogs on and off their leads. These areas will contain natural landspcape features, such as existing and proposed hedges, wildflowers and long grasses for dogs and owners to enjoy. Within the site these areas will be designated as green corridors along the north, west and south boundaries of the site and interconnected by more formal footpaths through the centre and the eastern edge.

5Ecological and Landscaping Strategy

Habitats/ Ecology

The habitats currently supported by the site are largely poor quality grasslands, scrub, scattered trees and a poorly maintained hedgerow. A small drainage ditch also flows across the site. Ecological survey has shown that these habitats support a very low diversity of species. Landscaping proposals for the Miller Homes scheme will seek to enhance and improve the more valuable habitats found within the site, such as the centrally located hedgerow, and provide new areas of recreational space and landscape planting.

Habitats Regulation Assessment

The proposed development is located within 450m of the Northumberland Coast Special Protection Area (SPA) and Ramsar sites. Due to the conservation significance of the SPA and Ramsar sites, it will be necessary to consider any potential direct or indirect impacts. If any damaging impacts are likely, it will be necessary to provide appropriate mitigation. This process will form part of a Habitats Regulations Assessment in support of the application.

6Construction Strategy

Construction Management

Miller are aware of concerns from existing local residents and aim to minimise where possible, the impact from site construction. Detailed traffic management plans will be formulated and agreed with the planners to ensure construction vehicles and deliveries are able to enter the site, drop off and/or park so existing roads are not blocked. The site will start and finish each day during hours as agreed with the council and timings for deliveries will be carefully coordinated to avoid unnecessary disruption. Mud generated by site is minimised by wheel washing prior to exiting the site, anything that is deposited on to adopted roads will be dealt with using road cleaning vehicles.

Contractors

We work in partnership with our suppliers, subcontractors and consultants and aim to build long-term working relationships with each of them. Only suppliers which meet our rigorous standards will be appointed to work with Miller Homes and to support them in this process we have outlined the minimum sustainability standards expected in our Supplier Code of Conduct.

Miller Respect

For any given development, Miller Respect provides the local community with the opportunity to contact us with any concerns they have during the construction phase through a dedicated helpline which is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In response, we aim to address any matters raised promptly and appropriately.

Communities

We are passionate about enhancing communities, our involvement begins even before the pre-planning stage and lasts long after the final home has been sold. Community consultation is a key stage in the development of our plans. We ensure information is accessible to all interested parties and the feedback we receive is taken on-board and informs our proposals.

Sustainable build

We minimise the impact of our on-site operations, particularly in relation to climate change, energy, water, waste, biodiversity and pollution, through our compliance with certified management systems. We also aim to directly employ as many of the workforce as possible locally in order to reduce carbon emissions as well as boost the area’s economy.
