Masterplan framework
Achieving the aims of the Masterplan Framework
The emerging Masterplan Framework sets out how new amenities and homes can be brought forward to create a sustainable new community where residents are able to access day to day facilities within a 20-minute walk of their home.
To achieve this, our initial proposals for the Land to the South of Reeds Lane (Site DPSC3) include:
Neighbourhood Centre
A new neighbourhood centre located centrally within the site, meaning the facilities within it are accessible to all new residents and the existing residents of Sayers Common and Albourne.
Facilities & Amenities
- Community hall providing flexible spaces for local groups, public services, and recreation.
- Spaces for shops and a café.
- Co-working space.
- New all-through school providing primary and secondary education and a nursery.
- Parks, play areas, trim trails and meeting places.
- Allotments.
- Mobility hubs.
Mix of Sustainable Homes
- Approximately 2,000 homes using high-quality materials.
- 30% affordable homes, including homes to rent at below market levels to those on the housing register.
- A variety of homes from 1-bedroom apartments to 5-bedroom houses.
- Specialist housing for older people.
- Use of low-carbon technology, such as air source heat pumps and solar PV to deliver net-zero carbon-ready homes.
- Installation of energy-efficient lighting and appliances.
- Use of water-efficient fittings to minimise water consumption.
- Provision of EV charging points for all new homes.
