Background
In 2017, CEG secured outline planning permission from the
Vale of White Horse District Council for the development of
up to 900 homes, with a mixed-use local centre, including
retirement apartments, care home, primary school and public
open space (under reference number P17/V0050/O). This site,
seen on the plan to the right, will be brought forward in phases.
David Wilson Homes and Barratt Homes are now looking to
deliver the fi rst three phases of the North Abingdon-on-Thames
site, which includes Western Parcel Area A, Western Parcel
Area B and Central Parcel Area A, as shown on the plan below.
This scheme will deliver the fi rst 425 homes for the North
Abingdon-on-Thames development. The proposals include
new public open space, formal play areas and new
vehicular access.
The need for new housing
The Vale of White Horse Local Plan has committed to delivering at least 20,560 new homes between 2011 and 2031.
Abingdon is an important residential and employment hub in Oxfordshire, which has been identifi ed as having the highest need
for affordable housing in the region and a key area for growth.
The Vale of White Horse Local Plan 1 was adopted in December 2016. It seeks to meet the housing needs for the Vale of White
Horse, as established in the Oxfordshire Strategic Housing Market Assessment (March 2014). Core Policy 4 allocates land at
North Abingdon for circa 800 new homes.

About the site
Flooding and drainageA Flood Risk Assessment was undertaken and included as
part of the outline planning application. A small area towards
the south west of the site was identifi ed as within Flood Zone
2 and Flood Zone 3 – shown in the hydrology plan to the
right. Development is not proposed in the Flood Zone 2 and
3 areas, whilst a sustainable drainage strategy will be also
implemented to ensure that there is no greater risk of fl ooding
elsewhere. This strategy includes the creation of a network
of ponds and swales along lower lying land and enhanced
wildlife corridors.
EcologyEcological assessments have been undertaken which identify
low levels of ecological interest within the site and the wider
area. Surveys completed to date have shown that habitats
on site do not host protected species and the site is of limited
value to breeding birds.
This scheme aims to provide a network of green spaces that
complement the existing topography and vegetation and
offer an opportunity for biodiversity enhancement through
the retention of existing habitats such as woodland and
hedgerows. The additional planting proposed would use
locally distinctive plant species and landscape types to
ensure that ecology on site forms a signifi cant component
of the identity of the development.
Green BeltThe Local Plan 2031 (Part 1) released the majority of the
site from the Green Belt - the areas that remain in the
Green Belt are highlighted on the plan below. Assessments
were carried out to support the outline application and
it is considered that there will be a low impact on the
openness of the Green Belt. The land that remains in the
Green Belt, which falls within the site boundary, will be
used for appropriate land uses including sport pitches and
recreation. This will allow the site to deliver the Council’s
requirements for housing, whilst also creating a signifi cant
‘green edge’ to the development.

Our proposals
The proposals will deliver the fi rst three phases of the North
Abingdon-on-Thames development. The scheme will provide a
high quality residential development, including affordable housing.
The proposed scheme will include:
N
ServicesThe site is bound on three sides by main roads, along which (and through the site itself) are located all major services including
gas, electric, water, foul drainage and telecommunications. Therefore, there is suffi cient capacity in the network and the supply
of these services is not considered to be an issue.
Illustrative masterplan
• 425 new homes, including 35% affordable housing
• A housing mix of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 bedroom dwellings
• New vehicular access from Dunmore Road
• New pedestrian and cycle access from Dunmore Road
• New public open space and play areas for existing and future residents
• Pedestrian and cycle pathways on and off site, including through
Tilsley Park
• A high-quality landscape scheme including the retention of existing
woodland and additional planting
• A sustainable drainage system and improved surface water run off
to and from the site

Design
A ‘Built Form and Landscape Design Code’ was prepared as part of
CEG’s outline application, which included place making principles for
future reserved matters applications. All development within the wider
North Abingdon-on-Thames site must adhere to these principles.

This design code provides developers
assistance to create place making
qualities, including the townscape,
streets and public open space by fi xing
mandatory elements and outlining
important characteristics, as shown on
the plan to the right.
Lodge Hill Park, a signifi cant landscape
feature that falls between the central and
western development parcels, will be
delivered within the fi rst three phases of the
North Abingdon-on-Thames development.
This area will provide interest and
activity where the bridleway, woodland,
watercourses and Primary Street intersect.
A LEAP and picnic area will attract people
to stop and congregate to appreciate
the natural assets that defi ne this space.
The woodland and watercourses heavily
infl uence the design of the space,
providing a transitional zone from the
more dense development core to the
lower density residential area to the west.

Technical considerations
Views around the North Abingdon-on-Thames site
LandscapeThe proposed site is currently in agricultural use, featuring
several areas of woodland, and acts as a threshold between
the town of Abingdon and the Oxfordshire Green Belt. It has
therefore required sensitive design, in terms of both the built
form and landscaping, to ensure the proposals compliment
the surrounding environment.
The key landscape mitigation measures proposed include:
• Substantial planting along the boundaries of the site, including
the retention of existing woodland and hedgerows
• Planting-up the gaps in the existing boundary hedgerows and tree belts
• Setting residential areas back from the site boundaries to allow space
for deep belts of planting and surrounds of landscaped open space
• A reduced density of dwellings on the upper slopes to reduce potential
outlook from the neighbouring Lodge Hill, whilst also mitigating potential
noise from the A34
• Public open space has been integrated through and around the
development to visually break up the proposed dwellings on site
• Incorporating networks of green links through the site, including
tree-lined internal roads, footpaths and cycleways
Noise Noise mapping was carried out as part of the outline planning
application to identify sensitive areas that required mitigation.
Mitigation measures have been included in the proposals,
such as the inclusion of a noise bund, topped with an acoustic
fence, with a 20m offset, along the western boundary of the site
beside the A34. This is highlighted in the plan below.
Earthworks strategy
Air qualityThe site does not fall within an Air Quality Management Area
(AQMA) and both the site and the surrounding area fall well
within air quality standards.
Whilst the surrounding roads, including the A34, are a
source of potential air pollution, they are managed through
various factors. These include noise bunds and development
buffers on the northern boundary, which should offer further
protection in terms of air quality.

Development impact A transport assessment has been completed and will
be submitted as part of the planning application.
Mitigation measures will be taken where required. This
application would deliver Highways Works Packages 1, 2
and 5, shown on the below highways mitigation plan.
This would include the construction of a pedestrian crossing
over Dunmore Road and improvement works to the Oxford
Road / Dunmore Road roundabout.
A fi nancial contribution will be made within the S106 of the
application to Oxfordshire County Council, which will go
towards the local highway network. In addition, construction
works for the A34 slip road, planned by the Council, are
forecast to be complete by the end of 2020, subject to
approval from Highways England. This would therefore mean
that the A34 slip road would be complete before the site is
fully occupied.
AccessVehicular and pedestrian access was established through
the outline planning permission and is proposed via Dunmore
Road, to the south of the site’s boundary.
Parking Car parking provision on site will be provided in line with the
standards set out by the Vale of White Horse District Council
and Oxfordshire County Council.
Sustainable location The proposed site is considered to be a sustainable location,
in close proximity to the wide range of services, amenities and
employment opportunities in Abingdon, which is accessible by
walking, cycling and public transport links.
