Site Features & Technical Considerations

The proposals have been informed by the site conditions and the surrounding context. We have undertaken a range of technical studies to ensure that the proposal are viable and deliverable.

Site Features

The Site Features Plan highlights key factors identified through technical studies, including:

  • The Cotswolds National Landscape north of the site
  • No designated heritage assets on site
  • Thames Water trunk water mains that run north-south through the site
  • A minor water course that flows through the eastern part of the site
  • A public byway (Ting Tang Lane) that crosses the site north-south

Water Management

  • The site lies in Flood Zone 1 - lowest probability of flooding
  • Low risk of flooding from surface water, sewers and groundwater
  • Surface water would be managed through natural drainage features and controlled release to mimic existing conditions. Where possible, water will also infiltrate into the ground
  • This approach is expected to reduce runoff compared with current conditions, while also improving water quality and supporting wider landscape and wildlife benefits
  • Proposed masterplan also includes surface water retention improvements to help alleviate some of the existing downstream issues
  • Ongoing dialogue with Thames Water regarding foul drainage solutions for the site
