The design and layout of Blenheim Grange has been based upon a careful assessment of the constraints and opportunities that the site and its environment offer. To summarise, the development will: -

• Provide sustainable residential reuse of a previously developed site in line with Government Guidance.
• Provide a density between 30 and 50 dwellings per hectare, which is fully in accordance with Government Guidance in PPG3/PPS3.
• Provide additional affordable housing provision and a range of units throughout the site in accordance with the latest Government Guidance.
• Provide employment and local facilities throughout the site in accordance with the latest Government Guidance.
• Not prejudice, but contribute towards the development of the overall site.
• Incorporate existing trees and shrubs within the development where possible to contribute towards an attractive living environment.
• Enhance existing pedestrian routes and introduce additional paths through the site and along the B1108 frontage to ensure permeability for pedestrians and cyclists.
• Provide a pedestrian crossing for the B1108.
• Provide a layout that is not car dominated.
• Provide attractive and useable open space and play space for the benefit of residents.
• Provide an attractive new townscape through good urban design.
