Tree surveys have been undertaken to establish the arboricultural baseline of the Land at Stanbury Wharf, by an appropriately qualified arboricultural consultant.
This baseline tree survey will be used to inform the iterative design process, ensuring that existing trees are retained and integrated into the development and protected from impacts during the construction of the site. This, in turn, allows for the retention of the majority of trees within the site. The baseline tree survey also identifies locally appropriate species for tree planting within landscape buffers, greenspaces, alongside extensive street tree planting as supported by national policy. Development will avoid encroaching into the root protection areas of the trees, ensuring the long-term health of these valuable features is preserved.
As the development process continues, a detailed arboricultural impact assessment shall be undertaken and submitted as part of the planning application. Furthermore, an arboricultural method statement will be produced ensuring that trees are appropriately protected and, where required, appropriately sensitive methodologies are adopted where the development conflicts with the existing trees.
Flood risk and drainage have been carefully assessed as part of the proposals.
A sustainable drainage system (SuDS) will be delivered across the site. This will control the flow of rainwater and restrict discharge from the development to existing greenfield rates. The system will:
Overall, these measures will ensure the development is safe from flood risk with no detrimental effect on any neighbouring development.
At Gleeson, sustainability means meeting the needs of the present without compromising future generations.
Sustainability is at the heart of our business, and our approach is based on our relationships with communities, people, and the environment.
Key features of the proposals will include:
