2011 Cheriton Road Design & Access Statement draft appendix Review against EBC Quality Places Manual 1. Access to Local Facilities and Public Transport New development should provide for safe and convenient access, particularly on foot and by cycle, to local facilities and frequent public transport.

response notes

How far are key facilities from the site?

! The development adjoins Lakeside Country which has areas of play and 60 acres of recreation space. It is within 12 minutes walk to the centre of the Town's shopping area. It is 6 minutes walk to the nearest primary school and 5 minutes by car (18 minutes walking) to nearest doctors surgery. No community facilities provided as part of scheme.

Have asked Mark W-G for study he has done on location of services. Can do map for D&A statement. We will do pedshed diagramm locating all major services.

Are the routes to facilities safe and convenient for pedestrians and cyclists?

! Generally yes. Links to EBC cycle way on Doncaster and Cherbourg Rd. Pedestrian links good via Doncaster/High street (traffic calmed) but there is not pedestrian crossing on chestnut avenue

Is there a possibility that we can divert some of our S106 monies for a better crossing on Chestnut ave near the site? (currently just a narrowing of main carriageway).

How far is the site from frequent public transport stops?

! Bus Stops on Chestnut Ave with frequent direct links to Town Centre, Southampton and Hedge End Superstores

Are the routes to bus stops or train stations safe and convenient for pedestrians and cyclists?

! Generally yes. Crossing on Chestnut Ave would improve pedestrian routes north from site.

2. Integrating with Movement Networks New development must integrate well with cycle, pedestrian and vehicular movement networks

Do new routes from the site serve desire lines to nearby facilities?

! Yes, via connecting roads and footways. Park and mews give good diagonal desire lines across site. Links to EBC Cycleways. Link through to York road maintains connectivity.

Look to improve footway from scheme north to near Chestnut road crossing

Do new routes from the site improve connectivity by linking to neighbouring movement networks (roads, footpaths and cycle routes)?

! Yes, via connecting roads and footways. Park and mews give good diagonal desire lines across site that previously was only east/west.

Context

2.1 Site LocationThe existing Monksbrook Estate is located towards the southernfringe of Eastleigh and currently contains 128 2 bed maisonettes,arranged in 15 blocks, 36 1 bed bungalows and 2 garage courts, allof which are owned and maintained by the First Wessex (theapplicant).

The total area of the site is approximately 4.8Ha; this includes anumber of adopted highways, owned and maintained byHampshire County Council (HCC) and areas of public open spaceowned by Eastleigh Borough Council (EBC). There is also a strip ofland to the south of the site that is included in the developable area,but which is currently owned by Barratt David Wilson Homes, whodeveloped the South Street Site to the south of the MonksbrookEstate (see fig 3 opposite). Although First Wessex own the freeholdof the majority of the site, there are currently 14 leaseholders whoown their flat. These leaseholders have been served notice underthis application and discussions are on going with First Wessex toacquire these properties prior to the site’s redevelopment.

The site is well served by local amenities and is located within Zone1 on the EBC accessibility contours map (see fig 4 opposite). Thedevelopment is immediately to the north of the Lakeside CountryPark and the South Street Development, which between them haveover 60 acres of recreation space and a NEAP.

Eastleigh Town Centre is within 12 minutes walk, and it is a similardistance to both Eastleighs railway stations, with the AirportParkway having a regular service to central London. A number ofbus services run along Chestnut Avenue with frequent direct links tothe town centre, Southampton and the Hedge End superstores.This, along with the nearby M27 and International Airport give thesite excellent connections to the region as well as the rest ofEurope.

On a more local scale, there are numerous educational facilitieswithin 5 minutes walk, including a primary school and three furthereducation colleges. A local convenience store, a number ofchurches of various denominations, and various public houses allcombine to offer the site most of its key facilities.
