About our scheme

About our scheme
Welcome to our
public exhibition for
Land West of Hoo
This exhibition gives you the chance to view and
comment upon our outline proposals for a new homes
development at Land West of Hoo St Werburgh.
We are currently in the process of preparing a planning application
for our proposed development which includes:
- A financial contribution towards primary school provision.
- Up to 500 new homes.
- Off-site highway improvements.
- Affordable housing (up to 25%).
- Improved walking and cycling routes.
- Vehicle access from Main Road and Ratcliffe Highway.
-Possible commercial floorspace (comprising units for retail,
café or takeaway).
We intend to submit an outline planning application to Medway Council in
September, which if approved, will mean the local planning authority has
accepted the principle of developing the land.
-Substantial areas of open space which include a circular walk
of approximately 2.4km.
- Children’s play areas.
You can let us know what you think of our plans by filling in a feedback form and
handing it to the team. Your feedback will help us refine our planning application
before we submit it to the council.
- Outdoor sports facilities and potential pavilion.
- Ecological improvements.

About our scheme
Our proposals for
Land West of Hoo
The site
Medway Council expects to announce its housing need in spring 2015,
but in the meantime it has an interim target of building 1,000 new homes
a year across the district.
The proposed development site is greenfield land in agricultural use located on
the western edge of Hoo St Werburgh. It extends to approximately 31 hectares
in total and comprises four parcels of land between Aveling Close to the east
and the A228 dual carriageway to the north-west. It is owned by Taylor Wimpey.
However, it is likely that once the full assessment has been carried out,
a higher housing target will be required.
While Medway Council will continue to see its brownfield sites regenerated,
particularly in the Medway towns, significant development of greenfield sites
The scaling of this drawing cannot be assu
will also be required to ensure housing needs are met.

Site is on western edge of Hoo St Werburgh.
Medway needs 1,000 new homes a year.
Site comprises four parcels of land.
Our proposals would help meet housing target.
Land is owned by Taylor Wimpey.
Greenfield sites will need to be developed.
Site considerations
Before we start designing a new scheme, we complete
an assessment of the site and the surrounding area
as they are at the moment. We record those features
we will need to take into account in our design. All of
the relevant considerations, whether they fix the way
our scheme will have to be designed or give us a real
opportunity to make the most of a particular feature,
are shown here.

Our opportunities and constraints plan is based on
the assessments.
Read more about opportunities and constraints on the
following board.
Site considerations
Information about
the site we need to
take into account
Landscape
We have carried out a Landscape and Visual Assessment which
concluded there is potential for residential development on the lowerlying, less visually sensitive, land to the north and west of existing
development. Land at the northern extent of the site, on the higher
ground, is not proposed to be developed.
In terms of the impact on the wider landscape, the site is physically and
visually separated from Lodge Hill by the Deangate Ridge which rises
beyond the site to the north. The prevailing topography will enable the
separate identities (Hoo St Werburgh and Chattenden) to remain within
the surrounding landscape.
Agricultural
The site is comprised of predominantly Grade 3b agricultural land with
small areas of Grade 3a agricultural land on the eastern edge of the site.
Grade 3b land is categorised as moderate quality agricultural land. In
view of this agricultural category, there are no policy constraints to the
development of the land.
Cultural heritage
The site lies immediately south of Mill House, a Grade II-listed
property. The significant distance between the site and Mill House,
plus the intervening landscape, will ensure an appropriate relationship
with Mill House.
Flooding and drainage
The site lies within Flood Zone 1 and is at low risk of flooding from a
main river. An ordinary watercourse flows west to east through the site,
and so the site layout is designed to take this into account.
Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) will be used to ensure surface
water run-off from the developed site will be discharged at rates no
Before we start designing a new scheme, we complete
an assessment of the site and the surrounding area
as they are at the moment. We record those features
we will need to take into account in our design. All of
the relevant considerations, whether they fix the way
our scheme will have to be designed or give us a real
opportunity to make the most of a particular feature,
are shown here.
greater than existing equivalent greenfield run-off rates. Drainage
measures could include permeable paving, dry basins, swales,
ponds or storage tanks or a combination of SuDS components,
before being slowly released to the watercourse through the use
of flow control devices.
Foul water will be discharged into the existing public sewer, within the
site boundary, which has capacity to accommodate the development.
Ecology
The site is within proximity of a number of sensitive sites, in particular
Medway Estuary & Marshes Special Protection Areas (SPA). On-site
public open space, including a circular walk (and potentially off-site
contributions to recreational measures) would reduce the recreational
pressure on local sensitive sites and mitigate the impact of additional
visitors to the SPA.
The majority of the site is considered to be of low ecological value. There
are some protected species that have been recorded on the site. These
include reptiles, great crested newts, bats and birds. The layout has been
well designed to retain habitats of value and create new habitat areas.
Noise
The site is not significantly constrained by noise, however, some
proposed homes located next to the A228/Peninsula Way and Main
Road will require careful design consideration to achieve relevant British
and World Health Organisation standards.
Gas mains
Two gas mains cross the site. Southern Gas Networks (SGN) and the
Health and Safety Executive have confirmed that additional ground
cover is required and there must be a 9-metre ‘no-build’ area along the
route of both pipelines.
Things to think about
No development proposed on the site’s higher ground.
Drainage measures will maintain current levels of water run off.
The land is not best quality agricultural land.
Design takes into account the watercourse through the site.
Site has lowest risk of flooding.
No building can take place in close proximity of the gas
pipe routes.

The may also be off-site highway improvements to mitigate any traffic
impacts that are predicted.
Medway Council has confirmed that significant funding is already in place
to improve the Four Elms Hill roundabout. Taylor Wimpey is prepared to
pay a further appropriate contribution to improve the existing roundabout
if considered necessary as a result of its proposals.
Traffic, parking
and access
We would like to hear your views on transportation issues as we continue
with our Transport Assessment.
Parking
The parking strategy for the site will be in accordance with Medway
Council’s guidelines.

Indicative Proposals
Economic benefits of development –
Land West of Hoo St Werburgh.
What will our
scheme bring to
the area?
Our proposal is for a residential development of up to
500 new homes in Hoo St Werburgh. The development
will include a range of property styles and sizes. Up to
25% will be affordable homes.
Economic benefits
Environmental benefits
The development will make the following significant contributions to
economic growth and employment locally:
The development will also provide the following environmental
improvements:
• The site would provide for a population of 1,200 people.
• All new homes will meet Level 3 of the Code for Sustainable Homes.
• The total leisure and retail expenditure generated by future occupants
of the scheme would be approximately £8.7m per annum, which will
significantly benefit the local economy.
• High quality ‘green infrastructure’ with a landscaped circular walk,
sports and public open space.
• The development will generate approximately 52 construction jobs
per year on site.
• The proposal will seek to conserve and enhance biodiversity and
incorporate opportunities for biodiversity enhancement.
• The scheme would provide accommodation for approximately 588
economically active people.
• The scheme would equate to a New Homes Bonus payment of £3.2m
from the Government to Medway Council over a six-year period.
Social benefits
The development will contribute to significant social improvements locally,
including the following:
• Contributions through Section 106 Agreement or Community
Infrastructure Levy (CIL) are proposed to part fund new primary
school provision within The Hundred of Hoo Academy. The facility
will be designed so that it could be converted to a 2-form entry school
to accommodate pupils from the proposed development. It is the
intention to open a primary reception class on the Academy site
from September 2015.
• The proposed scheme will deliver up to 125 affordable housing units
(i.e. 25%). Approximately 60% of these will be allocated for affordable
rent and 40% for intermediate/shared ownership.
Benefits of our scheme
New homes bonus to local council.
Improved public services.
Improvements to local infrastructure.
Increased revenue from council tax.
Contributions to local facilities.
More money spent in the local economy.
About Taylor Wimpey
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 11,000 homes each year.
Planning sustainable communities
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.
More than building homes
Engaging with local people
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.
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.
Energy efficient homes
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.
“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.”
For more information, visit:
about.taylorwimpey.co.uk
Taylor Wimpey lays the foundations
for thriving communities
We completed
11,696 homes in
2013, of which
2,124 (about 18%)
were affordable
homes.
In 2013, through
planning
obligations, we
invested over
£225m 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.
