About Taylor Wimpey
www.taylorwimpey.co.uk
Information about
our company,
who we are and
what we do
Taylor Wimpey was formed by the merger of
George Wimpey and Taylor Woodrow in 2007.
We are able to draw upon experience and best
practice gathered over a history dating back to
the 19th Century. Today we are one of the largest
homebuilders in the UK, completing over 12,000
homes each year.
Planning sustainable communities
Energy efficient homes
We want our developments to be environmentally,
socially and economically sustainable. We understand
the importance of stimulating strong, vibrant and
healthy communities while protecting and improving the
natural, built and historic environment.
We look to reduce the energy demand of our homes
by improving wall and roof insulation. In some cases
we may also fit more complex technologies. This
means that residents benefit from energy bill savings
while their long term maintenance burden and costs
are kept to a minimum.
More than building homes
We build roads and junctions, sewers and utilities that
link our developments with the surrounding areas.
Where needed we provide community facilities such
as schools, doctor’s surgeries, shops and offices,
bus stops and even railway stations, as well as much
needed affordable homes. Such provision can help
meet the day-to-day needs of the people living on,
or near, our developments.
Engaging with local people
We are committed to working with local people,
community groups and local authorities during the
planning phase and aim to keep them up to date
with our activities and progress during construction.
We aim to plan and design developments that balance
the demands of our business with providing for the
needs of our residents and their communities.
Green spaces
We design landscaping and open space to provide
an attractive and safe setting for homes, recreational
space for residents, and habitats for plants and wildlife.
Green spaces could include tree or hedgerow planting,
playgrounds or sports pitches.

“Our aim is to be the
nation’s leading residential
developer for creating
value and delivering quality.
We are passionate about
working with local people,
businesses,local authorities
and our customers to build
aspirational homes”.
Taylor Wimpey lays the foundations for thriving communities
We completed 13,219
homes in 2015, of which
17.5% were affordable
homes.
In 2015, through planning
obligations, we invested
£335m in the areas in
which we built.
We provide public
transport, road
improvements and
education facilities on
many developments.
Landscaping and open
space, including play areas
and sports pitches, provide
the structure to many of
our developments.

Being considerate of our
neighbours and the environment
whilst building
Health, safety and environmental
management
Construction activities and the community
The health and safety of our workers, visitors and the
local community is our highest priority. We manage
this through comprehensive procedures including clear
signage, control of traffic, school visits and ongoing
communication with neighbouring home owners and
the local community.
We will keep disturbances to the community to a
minimum while we are working on site. We keep our
sites clean and orderly and our operatives maintain
a high standard of behaviour. Hours of operation,
including for deliveries, are carefully managed.
Where possible we provide separate parking for
our operatives to minimise traffic congestion.
We keep environmental disturbance, including noise
and dust, to a minimum on our sites, with a focus on
preventing pollution, managing waste and protecting
the natural environment.
All of our sites are independently audited for Health,
Safety and Environment (HSE) on a monthly basis as
a minimum. Before any site commences we prepare
a Construction Phase Health & Safety Plan and a Site
Specific Environmental Action Plan to ensure proper
control of HSE matters.
This image shows our development ‘The Forge’.
Taylor Wimpey care about resources and the environment
A current Taylor Wimpey home
would require around a third of the
energy needed to heat a similar
sized 1980’s home which helps
keep living costs down.
We are developing a business-led
Energy and Carbon Strategy to
identify significant opportunities for
reducing our energy consumption
and carbon emissions.
We use timber from sustainable
and managed sources and since
2007 our Waste and Resources
Strategy has achieved a reduction
of our general construction waste
sent to landfill by 74%.
Our experience
www.taylorwimpey.co.uk/barford-bremridgeclose
What have we
done before?
We are a national company, working locally across
the UK through our 24 regional offices. In addition
to Bremridge Close which was constructed around
2007, we have undertaken a number of other
recent developments in your area.
Currently under construction, Nursery Meadow is a
collection of 60 2, 3, 4 and 5 bedroom homes located
on the former Sherbourne Nurseries site north of
Westham Lane. Granted planning permission by
Warwick District Council in 2014, the development
is due for completion in the winter of 2016.
Nursery Meadows follows a traditional approach with
its design cues taken from existing properties within
the village.
Nursery Meadow – Barford
The development comprises 165 homes located
immediately to the north of the small historic town
of Southam in Warwickshire.
Currently under construction, Taylor Wimpey worked
closely with Stratford-on-Avon District Council to
produce a scheme which will provide a sensitive
extension of high quality homes to the town.
Lilly Meadow, Southam
Completed in 2014, this development comprises a
mix of 3,4 and 5 bedroom homes, 91 in total.
The development has proved extremely popular
with purchasers, providing immediate access to the
motorway network, extensive amenities, services and
employment opportunities that Warwick has to offer
whilst maintaining an intimate residential character.
Beaumont Meadows, Warwick
Key facts
We build a wide range of homes in the UK, from one
bedroom apartments to five bedroom houses, with a
broad price range.
Our aim is to be an organisation that listens, responds
and ultimately delivers local requirements in the most
appropriate way.
We aim to build homes responsibly and efficiently,
and reduce greenhouse gas emissions generated by
our business activities.
Many of our sites have green transport plans that
promote walking, cycling, public transport and other
green travel options.
We take a range of architecture, landscape
and sustainability issues into account on every
development.
Every year we regenerate significant areas of
disused or contaminated land to create vibrant
communities.
Development proposal
www.taylorwimpey.co.uk/barford-bremridgeclose
Thank you for
visiting our
public exhibition
Taylor Wimpey is consulting local residents
regarding plans for a residential development
of approximately 68 new homes on land north
of Bremridge Close /east of the A429 bypass,
Barford. The proposals include a range of house
types, including affordable homes, bungalows,
family housing and associated open space. Please
take your time to look through the proposals
and ask any questions you may have. We value
local knowledge and input and encourage you to
complete one of the feedback forms.
The Site and Location
Need for Housing
The site comprises two separate but adjoined
parcels of land to the immediate west of Barford. The
development of the site represents a natural extension
to the village which is physically and visually contained
by the A429 bypass.
Warwick District needs to build over 15,000 new homes
between now and 2029 in order to meet its housing
requirements. Sites capable of accommodating over
12,000 of these homes have already been found including
the smaller of the two parcels which make up this site.
In order to deliver the additional homes needed, Warwick
District Council recently proposed the allocation of further
sites across the District which includes the larger of the
two parcels. Together therefore, the District Council
considers the land to be a good place to accommodate
new homes that will benefit from good access to the
excellent services and amenities that Barford currently
enjoys. In addition, the new homes will assist in improving
and/or delivering extra amenities and services through
developer contributions.
Development proposal
www.taylorwimpey.co.uk/barford-bremridgeclose
Illustrative Masterplan
The proposed development is for 68 new homes in a
range of types, sizes and tenures. 40% of the homes will
be affordable. The mix of homes proposed reflects the
housing needs of the District as identified by the Council.
Vehicular access will be taken from the existing turning
head at the northern end of Bremridge Close. A new
attenuation basin will accommodate surface water from
the site. Contributions will be made to local services in
accordance with the requirements of the District and
County Councils along with other relevant stakeholders.
These could include financial contributions towards
things like education, health, open space and sports
facility provision. Any contributions which are required
will be secured via a S106 Agreement.
Site Considerations
www.taylorwimpey.co.uk/barford-bremridgeclose
Information
about the site
we need to take
into account
The site forms part of Warwick District Council’s
proposed allocation for residential development in
its emerging Plan. The allocations are known as
‘H22’ and ‘H48’. In principle therefore the Council
consider that this a good site to accommodate
some of the housing that the district needs.
Nevertheless, there are a number of considerations
that need to be taken into account as the
proposals are progressed.

Landscape, Ecology, Drainage and Heritage
The site is not covered by any landscape designations
and is not considered to be an area of significant
ecological value. It is not within the Barford
Conservation Area although it is recognised that it is
close to it. Technical reports have been commissioned
which will look at some of these issues in detail.
In landscape terms, there is the opportunity to provide
a strong landscape framework at the edges of the site
to soften the visual effect of the new development.
In addition, advantage will be taken to maximise the
strong containing effect of the A429 bypass to minimise
longer distance views of the development. There
is also the opportunity to create ecological habitat
enhancement through the creation of and planting
within an attenuation basin which will also collect
surface run off from the site.
Highways and Utilities
Access will be taken from the existing Bremridge Close
turning head at the south west corner of the site.
The impact of the additional traffic along Wellesbourne
Road and Bremridge Close is being considered and if
necessary suitable mitigation will be provided.
New footway connections will be provided within the
development site and the provision of an emergency
services vehicle access through to Westham Lane will
be provided. The site is accessible to local facilities and
services including existing public transport links.
We have contacted the local utility providers to ensure
there is sufficient capacity to support our development
and we will work closely with them to deliver the
infrastructure that is necessary.
Flood Risk
The site lies within Flood Zone 1 which is the area
classified as being at the least risk of flooding. In flood
risk terms it is therefore suitable for housing development.
An attenuation basin will manage surface water run-off
from the site and foul drainage will discharge into the local
sewer network by gravity or a new pumping station.
About our development
www.taylorwimpey.co.uk/barford-bremridgeclose
About our development at
Land north of Bremridge Close
The proposals have evolved through discussions with
Officers of Warwick District Council. We now welcome
your views and ideas in order to further shape the
scheme going forward.
We have designed the dwellings and layout to respond
sensitively to the site’s immediate and wider context.
There are a range of features which are aimed at providing
interest and character including prominent corner plots,
with fenestration to both front and side elevations.
A comprehensive landscape and planting scheme will
assist in tying the development into its context and ensure
a high quality visual environment that is an asset to the
village.
