5 .0 landscap ing

Al l ex ist ing trees and hedges are proposed to be reta ined .In addi t ion p lant ing of hedgerow 'gapp ing up ' a longboundary hedges are proposed re in forc ing prominantper imeter hedges. An inventory of exist ing trees isproposed to in form a programme of inspect ion andmaintenance with tree protect ion being in p lace pr ior toany const ruc t ion works commenc ing.

A comprehens ive landscap ing des ign and p lant ingspec i f i cat ion accompanies the p lanning appl icat ion. This isa lso ind icated on drawing 1 6 .1 3 6 .0 0 2 . i t is proposed touse a mixture of nat ive spec ies to ensure a d iverse p lant ingscheme and promote natura l habi tats for loca l wi ld l i fe .

Heavy tree p lant ing is proposed across the s i te to createvisual 'screens ' to min imise the v isua l impact of thedeve lopment on the s i te .

proposed spec ies inc lude:

Corylus avel lana (Haze l )Quercus Robur (O a k )Prunus av ium (Cherry)Sorbus aucupar ia (Mounta in Ash)Betula Pendula (Birch)Acer pseudoplatanus (S y c a m o r e )Fagus sylvat ica (Beech)Aescu lus h ippocastanum (Horse Chestnut)Acer campestre (F ie ld maple)

The proposed changing room fac i l i ty bui ld ing wi l l be des igned inaccordance wi th the Bu i ld ing Regulat ions Approved document L2a andmeet the fabr ic U-va lues set out there in for thermal per formance andenergy ef f ic iency. The construct ion detai l ing wi l l focus on a ir t ightnessin an ef fort to reduce the energy consupt ion for space and waterheat ing. Doub le g lazed thermal ly broken a lumin ium window/doorframe uni ts have been spec i f ied to increase the thermal ef f ic iency ofw indow and door apatures.

It is a lso proposed to ut i l i se ra inwater harvest ing and use the greywater for f lushing to i lets etc in an ef fort to reduce the waterconsumpt ion of the bu i ld ings operat ion
