Site allocation PAD01

Land southwest of Buckingham Road, Padbury

On page 266 of the official PDF.

The human version

This allocation supports an assumed 210 homes on 10.75 hectares southwest of Buckingham Road, Padbury. The site is split into two parcels separated by playing fields designated as Local Green Space. A comprehensive masterplan must be approved before any planning application is decided. Developers must show that vehicle access can reach all parts of the site, which is straightforward for the south-east parcel from the A413 but harder for the north-west parcel next to the Padbury Conservation Area and its listed buildings.

PAD01: Land southwest of Buckingham Road, Padbury The site as shown on the Policies Map is allocated for an assumed number of 210 dwellings. Development of this site will be supported where it: a) Accords with a comprehensive masterplan, to be submitted to and formally approved by the Council prior to the determination of any planning application, to ensure coordinated and integrated development across the whole site. b) Can demonstrate that appropriate vehicle access to all parts of the site can be achieved. c) Is demonstrated that there is suitable interface between the development and the Padbury Conservation Area, the Local Green Space designation for playing fields, Millennium Woods, Padbury School, and existing housing. d) Demonstrates that appropriate pedestrian access can be delivered through the site connecting Main Street, Lower Way, the Local Green Space designation for playing fields, Millennium Woods, Padbury School, and existing housing. 6.487 The site is approximately 10.75 hectares and is divided into two principal land parcels: one located to the northwest and the other to the southeast. These parcels are effectively separated by an area designated as Local Green Space, which is used for playing fields and creates a physical and functional division across the site. 6.488 To the north-west, the site adjoins the Padbury Conservation Area, which contains a significant number of listed buildings. This area also includes Main Street, where a limited range of local shops and amenities are located, giving the site a close relationship with the historic core of the settlement. 6.489 To the south-west and south-east, the site is bordered by open agricultural fields and the Millennium Woods. To the north-east, the site adjoins existing residential development as well as Padbury School. 6.490 Vehicular access to the south-east parcel could be achieved from the A413. However, the applicant will need to demonstrate a suitable and deliverable vehicular access solution to serve development on the north-west parcel, considering the constraints and sensitivities of the surrounding area.
