Earlier on in the year over 700 people attended a public exhibition about proposals for the land to the west of Toton Lane. Over 400 people provided comments via feedback forms and our website.

REPORTING BACK

MAIN CHANGES TO THE PROPOSALSThe feedback received has resulted in a number of changes to Peveril Homes and UKPP’s proposals.

• An eight metre wide strip (originally 5 metre) to the rear of key homes has been introduced, lessening the impact for those adjacent to the development • The density of the dwellings along the southern boundary has been reduced• Bungalows will occupy much of the boundary

What you said:

- Reduce the number of homes- We’d like a nursery- Provision of primary school places is essential- Support the George Spencer Academy- We don’t think the corridor is wide enough for any tramline extension- The plan looks like it has no focal point

What we’ve done:

- Reduced the number of homes from 1,000 to 775- Provided a nursery site - Provided a new primary school- Provision of additional secondary school places at the Academy, and a commitment to helping it achieve its educational objective of operating a 3 – 19 year old through school- Widened the central corridor to allow future extension of the tramline- Redesigned the Local Centre, creating a more inclusive village-like feel

As a result of feedback from residents living adjacent to the southern boundary, we have made some key changes:

2. Redesigned development at southernedge following further site visits, to reducenumbers of houses and density and insuremore comfortable and sensitive relationahip.New plot lines now tie in better with existing.

1. Redesigned local centre to createnew square and focal pointand to support traffic calming.

4. Traffic improvement and pedestrian crossingfacilities on Totan Lane / Stapleford Lane.

3. Boundary / garden buffer for existingresidents increased from 5 to 8 metres.Properties closest to the boundary aregiven a larger amount of space.(highlighed in yellow)

Respondents to our feedback survey indicated their approval for our plans to support George Spencer Academy through the provision of new buildings and recreation facilities. If Chetwynd Barracks is developed there is no guarantee that George Spencer Academy will receive the investment it needs.*Data taken from ‘Land at Toton Lane, Nottingham, Residential Development at Chetwynd Barracks, A review of Transport Impacts’ by independent consultants BWB, commissioned by Peveril Homes and UKPP. This document will be submitted with the planning application.

Proposed alterations to Bardill’s Island

ROAD IMPROVEMENTS

If you would like more information, please get in touch with us:

What you said:

- Traffic approaching Bardill’s Island from Toton Lane is a nightmare- The right turn lane approaching the Island from the M1 is too short- The A52 approaching from Nottingham gets congested at peak times- Trying to get on to the M1 can take ages- You have to boost capacity at peak times

What we’ve done:

- Provided four lanes on Toton Lane instead of the current two- Lengthened the lane - Widened the road to include three lanes on the approach - The Island will be modified to allow three lanes to proceed westwards- The above measures combine to increase junction capacity

Residents told us they wanted the council to look at alternative brownfield sites. Broxtowe Borough Council’s draft proposals suggest that 1500 houses could be built at Chetwynd Barracks. This would cause enormous congestion on Stapleford Lane and Bardill’s roundabout as well as the roads around Tesco and the A6005 Nottingham Road/By-Pass Road. Similarly, less sustainable developments at Field Farm or along the A6002 Coventry Lane would fail to provide the same employment and education investment that we propose. As the most sustainable site in the borough, a development here holds the least implications for Broxtowe’s valued green belt as well as providing direct access to sustainable public transport links including the NET 2 tram.

ALTERNATIVE DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS

In addition to the Bardill’s Island improvements we suggest:

• Closing the existing school access onto Toton Lane and creating a new access point. • Providing a pedestrian/cyclist crossing on the proposed southern access• Providing central areas to assist right turners off Stapleford Lane onto Darley Avenue and Woodstock Road • Introducing a puffin crossing on Stapleford Lane, creating gaps in traffic flow for drivers exiting the adjoining residential roads• Introducing sophisticated traffic light control equipment at the Swiney Way lights • We have agreed with Premiere Travel, a local bus operator, to extend their 20 minute frequency bus route to provide a service to Nottingham, Beeston and a link to the NET. We would also provide gap funding to secure this service if required

Do you agree that these plans represent an improvement to our original plans? YES NO(please circle and return to freepost address)
