The farmyard covers an area of approximately 4.1 acres (1.67 ha) and sits within a wider land area of approximately 240 acres extending to the west.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gaiger Brothers have an agreement with the Landowner to identify a redevelopment proposal and prepare a detailed planning application to secure planning consent for any proposed change of land use. We consider that there is scope for approximately 15 houses at the site, although this remains subject to ongoing review, informed by the feedback from this stage of public consultation and wider technical and design work. Alternative uses at the site have been considered, however other livestock-based farming activities would have similar constraints and re-purposing the buildings to commercial\/storage uses is unlikely to be appropriate at this location.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Subject to the outcomes of this stage of public consultation and community engagement, the current intention is to prepare a detailed planning application for submission to Wiltshire Council before the end of 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gaigerbros.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/WHL-1437-02-Vertical-Aerial.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"988\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/gaigerbros.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/WHL-1437-02-Vertical-Aerial-988x698.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1702\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gaigerbros.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/WHL-1437-02-Vertical-Aerial-988x698.jpg 988w, https:\/\/gaigerbros.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/WHL-1437-02-Vertical-Aerial-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gaigerbros.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/WHL-1437-02-Vertical-Aerial-279x197.jpg 279w, https:\/\/gaigerbros.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/WHL-1437-02-Vertical-Aerial.jpg 1190w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 988px) 100vw, 988px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Click on the image to open a new window and zoom in<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">(3) <strong>reasons for Dairy Farm CLOSURE in Summer 2021<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The White Family have owned Townsend Farm for many years but ceased operating a dairy in the summer of 2021 due to several factors including:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Existing building\/infrastructure constraints including insufficient slurry storage, poorly ventilated buildings and future regulation changes, heightening these constraints and requiring substantial capital investment to address.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Being located close to existing residential properties adds challenges to meeting planning policy requirements associated with any future improvements, and significantly adds to both planning risks and capital investment required.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Layout of the yard at the far end of the land holding (which extends to the west), limiting scope for a more grazing based dairy unit and the site being located within a high-risk bovine tuberculosis area also making this unfeasible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A significant investment would be required to address these constraints, and this is unlikely to yield a guaranteed return given the fluctuating dairy market. Coupled with prolonged past bovine tuberculosis problems experienced over the past c20 years, this has resulted in the closure of the dairy farm at Townsend Farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There remain interim uses ongoing at the site, these include: a small herd of pigs in one of the barn buildings, limited storage within existing buildings and a workshop. The wider land holding remains in agricultural use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">(4) <strong>CONSULTATION AND ENGAGEMENT TO DATE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We contacted Poulshot Parish Council in February 2022 and held an introductory site walkover meeting with representatives of the Parish Council in early March 2022. We have maintained regular communication with the Parish Council including a further meeting in April 2022, also attended by Tamara Reay, the Wiltshire Councillor for Devizes Rural West.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also contacted the immediate neighbours to the site in March 2022 given their proximity to any proposed redevelopment. This was well received, and we have subsequently met many of those neighbours. This has identified a broad range of issues and opportunities including the scale, type and building heights of any redevelopment, and drainage and flood risk concerns as the key areas of interest. Additional topics raised included access and highway impacts; boundary treatments to adjacent neighbours; contamination including the slurry lagoon; impacts on ecology; construction impacts; and a range of design considerations including the general architectural approach, energy efficiency and lighting impacts. It was also recognised that an appropriately scaled and designed housing redevelopment would address noise, smell, flies, and other issues associated with the previous dairy farm operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several site assessments have now been completed and before undertaking detailed design work, the purpose of this wider public engagement is to share the findings of our initial engagement and site assessment work with the local community, alongside our early thoughts on the broad principles of the redevelopment opportunity, and to listen to your views and feedback.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gaigerbros.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/WHL-1437-03-Designations.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"988\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/gaigerbros.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/WHL-1437-03-Designations-988x698.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1703\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gaigerbros.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/WHL-1437-03-Designations-988x698.jpg 988w, https:\/\/gaigerbros.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/WHL-1437-03-Designations-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gaigerbros.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/WHL-1437-03-Designations-279x197.jpg 279w, https:\/\/gaigerbros.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/WHL-1437-03-Designations.jpg 1190w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 988px) 100vw, 988px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Click on the image to open a new window and zoom in<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">(5) Existing Site<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Approximately 4.1 acres (1.67ha)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contains a range of agricultural buildings as well as extensive areas of hardstanding and former slurry lagoon \/ silage clamps<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Two points of access onto Poulshot Road frontage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Residential properties and Townsend Barn Nursery opposite the southern site boundary and residential neighbours to eastern\/south-western boundaries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dairy closed in 2021, whilst ongoing uses include a small herd of pigs in one of the barn buildings, limited storage and a workshop<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gaigerbros.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/21146.103-C-Existing-structures-and-hardstanding-scaled.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gaigerbros.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/21146.103-C-Existing-structures-and-hardstanding-988x698.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1717\" width=\"840\" height=\"593\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gaigerbros.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/21146.103-C-Existing-structures-and-hardstanding-988x698.jpg 988w, https:\/\/gaigerbros.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/21146.103-C-Existing-structures-and-hardstanding-768x542.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gaigerbros.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/21146.103-C-Existing-structures-and-hardstanding-1536x1085.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gaigerbros.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/21146.103-C-Existing-structures-and-hardstanding-2048x1447.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/gaigerbros.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/21146.103-C-Existing-structures-and-hardstanding-279x197.jpg 279w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Click on the image to open a new window and zoom in<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">(6) <strong>Early site assessments<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In planning policy terms, Poulshot is designated within the Wiltshire Council Core Strategy (current adopted Local Plan) as a \u2018Small\u2019 village and accordingly would typically only be expected to accommodate small scale infill development. This proposal at Townsend Farm would not conform with that broad policy direction, however, there remains a need to assess the site as a former farmyard and how best to reuse the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several site surveys and assessments have been undertaken including into flood risk &amp; drainage, access &amp; highways, ground conditions &amp; contamination, heritage, ecology and landscape issues. These have focussed on identifying site constraints and opportunities that the redevelopment proposal will need to respond to. Whilst the full details of these assessments will be incorporated into reports to be submitted with any future planning application submission, these assessments have all informed the design process and a summary of the key findings related to flood risk and drainage is set out below.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Flood risk and drainage<\/strong> concerns were identified by the immediate neighbours to the site as being a key concern given historic surface water flooding and foul drainage issues in the local area. There are controls and requirements through the planning system to demonstrate thorough consideration is given to flood risk and drainage issues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Developers need to demonstrate development can be delivered safe from the risk of flooding (including allowance for future climate change) and most importantly without impacting on the flood risk of existing neighbouring properties. A Flood Risk Assessment report including a Surface Water Drainage Strategy showing how the site is drained will be prepared as part of any planning submission to demonstrate this and will be subject to Wiltshire Council review and approval in their role as the Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wessex Water are responsible for providing foul water drainage and potable (fresh) water supply to existing and new development in the local area<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the importance of these issues, an initial drainage assessment has been completed which included the following tasks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Site visits undertaken<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clearance of on and off-site drainage ditches&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Topographical survey of site &amp; Poulshot Road frontage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Review of publicly available flood records<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wessex Water asset records obtained<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wiltshire Council highway drainage records obtained<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Infiltration testing completed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consultation with Wessex Water regarding foul water connection &amp; capacity checks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Through this work, the following findings have been confirmed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Flooding from watercourses<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The site falls within Flood Zone 1 of the Environment Agency\u2019s Flood Map for Planning, which has a low probability of flooding from watercourses.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Areas designated as flood risk zones (flooding and extreme flooding) are located c240m to the southwest of site along a tributary to Summerham Brook&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#0c5078\"><strong>Outcome: the site is located in Flood Zone 1, not at risk of flooding from a watercourse and this will be detailed within a Flood Risk Assessment to be submitted with any planning application.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gaigerbros.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/flood-map-planning-wider-area-Top-Left.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"988\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/gaigerbros.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/flood-map-planning-wider-area-Top-Left-988x698.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1722\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gaigerbros.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/flood-map-planning-wider-area-Top-Left-988x698.jpg 988w, https:\/\/gaigerbros.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/flood-map-planning-wider-area-Top-Left-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gaigerbros.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/flood-map-planning-wider-area-Top-Left-1536x1086.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gaigerbros.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/flood-map-planning-wider-area-Top-Left-2048x1447.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/gaigerbros.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/flood-map-planning-wider-area-Top-Left-279x197.jpg 279w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 988px) 100vw, 988px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Click on the image to open a new window and zoom in<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Surface water flood risk<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The Environment Agency\u2019s Risk of Flooding from Surface Water Map indicates where surface water may be expected to flood or pond when rainwater does not drain away through normal drainage system or soak into the ground, but lies on or flows over the ground instead<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The site is predominantly classified as an area with a \u2018very low\u2019 or \u2018low\u2019 risk of surface water flooding.\n<ul>\n<li>\u2018Very low\u2019 risk means that each year the area has a less than 0.1% chance of flooding; \u2018low\u2019 risk is defined as between 0.1% and 1% chance of flooding<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Smaller isolated areas of elevated risk within the site are associated with low points where surface water runoff could collect.

Surface treatment needs to be sympathetic to the rural location to maintain a semi-formal appearance, and kerb lines, boundary features, and external lighting should be kept to a minimum. Low intensity and low-level lighting should be investigated. The overall density and heights of any new buildings should also be low. Soft landscaping could also help alleviate the existing transition between built form and the open fields to the north-west.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If carefully managed, the re-purposing of this previously developed land is likely to be positive and beneficial. The character of the Conservation Area stands to be enhanced, and the north-side setting of Townsend Farmhouse improved.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ecology<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The majority of the land within the development site is concrete and buildings, with small fringing areas of grass\/ruderal vegetation and boundary habitats comprising trees\/shrubs and a small, ephemeral field drainage ditch. There are no notable or invasive habitats or plants within the development site.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>None of the buildings or structures within the development site are being used by bats for roosting or as a place of rest, and they all provide no\/negligible future opportunities for roosting bats given the physical and environmental conditions of the buildings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is no confirmed evidence that protected\/notable mammals use the development site but given the semi-rural (residential and farmland) setting there is potential for animals to use or traverse the site, particularly hedgehog.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is some evidence of common bird nesting within some buildings, while it is also recognised that nesting birds could potentially use additional buildings or larger trees\/shrubs in the future. The site does not support nesting barn owl or ground nesting birds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Measures to reduce development impacts and deliver betterment are likely to include: protecting animals and nesting birds during construction; sensitive design of any external lighting; provision of bat roosting bricks and bird nesting boxes; a comprehensive site landscaping strategy with associated tree\/shrub\/hedge planting; maximising ecological benefits of any surface water drainage features, and other features that could be incorporated into the future site landscaping.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">(7) <strong>Opportunities and constraints<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The redevelopment proposal is being shaped by several design considerations (see plan with annotations) and the following overarching key design objectives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Contain development within the broad existing building &amp; structures footprint<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Respect the privacy of neighbouring properties&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remediate and naturalise the site and provide a robust drainage and landscape strategy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deliver a scale and form of development responding to the Conservation Area status &amp; general locality whilst generating sufficient value to cover associated site
