HI Carr-Bridge Devel­op­ment Briefs Devel­op­ment Briefs have been pre­pared for some sites alloc­ated with­in the Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan. Plan. They may also be pre­pared for oth­er alloc­ated and non- alloc­ated sites where required. This devel­op­ment brief is for Site HI in Carr-Bridge (Fig­ure 2). Sec­tion 1: Site con­straints and oppor­tun­it­ies Phys­ic­al con­di­tions Ground con­di­tions, topo­graphy, sur­round­ing plant­ing and ser­vices are all sig­ni­fic­ant factors. Although the estab­lished sur­round­ing wood­land provides pro­tec­tion of the site from pre­vail­ing winds, the shade they cre­ate presents a devel­op­ment con­straint. This is not an issue with the north­ern half of the site, where the more open aspect presents the oppor­tun­ity for max­im­ising sol­ar gain and daylight.

Fig­ure 1. Carr-Bridge |

Ser­vices Con­nec­tion to the pub­lic sew­er will be required of all new devel­op­ment. An inter­im solu­tion is unlikely to be accept­able as there is no suit­able water­course with­in site Scot­tish Water should be con­tac­ted at an early stage in rela­tion to water and waste water supplies.

Exist­ing low voltage net­work and trans­former serving the exist­ing cluster of prop­er­ties on Carr Road on the north bound­ary of the site would need to be assessed as part of any con­nec­tion design. It is likely that this will need to be upgraded although the extent of the upgrade will depend on demand require­ments from the devel­op­ment site. Con­nec­tion from the high voltage over­head net­work at Ellan­wood Road may also be con­sidered. Nat­ur­al her­it­age Carr-Bridge is char­ac­ter­ised by the wood­land set­ting with hous­ing devel­op­ment cur­rently set with­in this wood­land to cre­ate a very attract­ive envir­on­ment. The devel­op­ment of HI should com­ple­ment and enhance this char­ac­ter and this could be achieved by a suit­ably laid out hous­ing devel­op­ment which main­tains and enhances the wood­land set­ting. This can be achieved by ideally hav­ing no loss of exist­ing wood­land but scal­lop­ing the exist­ing plant­a­tion edge to soften the devel­op­ment and plant­a­tion edge through plant­ing. This is par­tic­u­larly import­ant giv­en the edge of set­tle­ment loc­a­tion of the site.

Devel­op­ment should not have an adverse effect on the qual­i­fy­ing fea­tures of pro­tec­ted sites and while HI is not covered by any spe­cif­ic envir­on­ment­al des­ig­na­tions, itis in the vicin­ity of the River Spey Spe­cial Area of Con­ser­va­tion (SAC) and there is poten­tial for run-off into the Dul­nain Water, which is part of the River Spey SAC (qual­i­fy­ing interests are otter, Atlantic sal­mon, sea lamprey and fresh­wa­ter pearl mus­sels). Also of rel­ev­ance in the wider area are the Aber­nethy Forest, Anagach Woods, Cairngorms, Craigmore Wood and | Kin­veachy Forest Spe­cial Pro­tec­tion Areas (SPA) where rel­ev­ant qual­i­fy­ing interests relate to caper­cail­lie. It should also be noted that bog hab­it­at is iden­ti­fied in the Cairngorms Biod­iversity Action Plan as a pri­or­ity hab­it­at with part of the applic­a­tion site involving/​abutting bog wood­land. It is also an action con­tained in the Cairngorms Nature Action Plan 2013- 2018 to identi­fy sites for cre­at­ing or expand­ing bog and wet woods.

There are areas of wet dwarf shrub heath on peat on the site. A Nation­al Veget­a­tion Clas­si­fic­a­tion (NVC) sur­vey will there­fore be required to accom­pany any plan­ning applic­a­tion. The NVC sur­vey will need to include all areas of the site, includ­ing those that are simply asso­ci­ated with the pro­vi­sion of foot­path links or open space.

The soil on the site is iden­ti­fied as a ​‘humus-iron pod­zol with min­er­al allu­vi­al soils with peaty allu­vi­al soils’ and there­fore a peat sur­vey will need to be under­taken. This may form part of the ground con­di­tions sur­vey or be a stan­dalone document.

Sec­tion 2: Devel­op­ment require­ments Foot­path Net­work The devel­op­ment should be access­ible, well con­nec­ted and linked to the vil­lage centre. The foot­path and cycle way net­work should be part of the land­scap­ing infra­struc­ture with through routes and con­nec­tions to the wider road and path net­work encour­aged, includ­ing core paths and a ​‘safe route to school’ (Fig­ure 3 and 4). A fin­an­cial con­tri­bu­tion towards the pro­vi­sion of a new useable foot­path link / ​‘safe route to school’ to the vil­lage centre from the devel­op­ment site will be required. In order for the route to be useable all year round, and to adopt­able stand­ards for the High­land Coun­cil, the path would need to be suit­ably sur­faced, lit and at least 2.5 metres wide so that it can safely accom­mod­ate both cyc­lists and ped­es­tri­ans. The path should be designed to meet these stand­ards as far as prac­tic­able, although the final choice of sur­face and light­ing will need to take account of the area’s rur­al set­ting. The CNPA would deliv­er the foot­path link in its role as Out­door Access Author­ity. Road Net­work Carr Road is nar­row and lacks space for a ped­es­tri­an side­walk. Ensur­ing that meas­ures to address the increased level of traffic will be a key require­ment of any pro­posed devel­op­ment. The rur­al nature of Carr-Bridge and the Cairngorms Nation­al Park should be recog­nised. The levels of pub­lic trans­port to access shops and ser­vices, often means that using a car is neces­sary. Vehicu­lar access to the site is to be made from Carr Road. Pro­pos­als to change and enhance this road will need to be made up to adopt­able stand­ards. A hol­ist­ic approach to traffic calm­ing needs to be taken, recog­nising the cur­rent attract­ive rur­al nature of the road. Meas­ures that rely entirely on ver­tic­al speed bumps will not be sup­por­ted. Pro­pos­als should pro­mote suit­able design speeds that allow all users to feel safe using the road, with appro­pri­ate phys­ic­al char­ac­ter­ist­ics that help keep gen­er­al traffic speeds at or below that design speed. For any shared spaces, a max­im­um speed lim­it of 20mph should be pro­moted, but design speeds should be suf­fi­ciently below this fig­ure to ensure actu­al vehicle speeds are kept to a suf­fi­ciently low level that allowed all road users to feel safe using the road. Con­sid­er­a­tion should be giv­en to both the High­land Council’s Roads and Trans­port Guidelines for New Devel­op­ments (2013), plus nation­al Guid­ance with­in Design­ing Streets and the Nation­al Roads Devel­op­ment Guide. Con­sulta­tion with the High­land Council’s Trans­port, Envir­on­ment and Com­munity ser­vices is required to agree the pre­cise loc­a­tions of changes and enhancements.

There have been a num­ber of acci­dents on the C1119 between Car­rbridge and Grant­own-on-Spey. It is not how­ever expec­ted the num­ber of vehicles using road to access Grant­own-on-Spey will 3

increase dra­mat­ic­ally. Nev­er­the­less, any pro­pos­al would need to assess the like­li­hood of increas­ing traffic on this sec­tion of Carr Road and, if required, come for­ward with pro­pos­als for improv­ing it to bet­ter accom­mod­ate any such increases.

The pro­vi­sion of full details relat­ing to road access require­ments, details of all foot­paths and traffic calm­ing pro­pos­als will be required as part of any applic­a­tion. Pub­lic Trans­port Con­sid­er­a­tion should be giv­en to access­ing to pub­lic trans­port. As a gen­er­al rule, it is recom­men­ded that new hous­ing should not be more than 400m from the nearest bus stop. How­ever, due to HI’s semi-rur­al loc­a­tion this may not be achiev­able. Con­sequently pro­pos­als will need to demon­strate meas­ures that provide a good qual­ity con­nec­tion to access loc­al bus ser­vices and a review into the adequacy of the wait­ing envir­on­ments at bus stops. This may form part of the pro­pos­als for a new foot­path. Ser­vices and drain­age The developer must sat­is­fy them­selves that suf­fi­cient capa­city exists in all ser­vices required to sup­port devel­op­ment of the site.

Per­meable sur­faces are to be used through­out the site to reduce the impact of rain­wa­ter run­off. Addi­tion­al rain­wa­ter run­off mit­ig­a­tion meas­ures, such as green roof­ing or rain­wa­ter har­vest­ing, are encouraged.

A Sus­tain­able Urb­an Drain­age scheme must be provided for the site and should be integ­rated as part of the struc­tur­al land­scape frame­work for the devel­op­ment, designed to pro­mote hab­it­at enhance­ment. It may be pos­sible to use part of the 3.3ha of wood­land for this pur­pose. Dens­ity and diversity Devel­op­ment will need to reflect the site’s semi-rur­al nature, pri­or­it­ising small semi- detached dwell­ings that are char­ac­ter­ist­ic of the set­tle­ment. Ter­raced build­ings may also be intro­duced while main­tain­ing loc­al design characteristics.

Devel­op­ment should be loc­ated in the area of elev­ated pas­ture, which has an area of 2.4ha (Fig­ure 3). The site’s capa­city of 72 units that is iden­ti­fied in the Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan could be achieved in this area at a dens­ity of 30 units per hec­tare. This dens­ity has been achieved in oth­er parts of Carr-Bridge and could help deliv­er both the smal­ler 2 and 3 bed­room units which are gen­er­ally more afford­able to work­ing house­holds as well as some lar­ger units. Cre­at­ing few­er houses on the site would be likely to lead to lar­ger, more expens­ive prop­er­ties. They would be less likely to deliv­er hous­ing for loc­al work­ing households.

The final num­ber of units and the site dens­ity will need to be determ­ined by the Devel­op­ment Man­age­ment pro­cess tak­ing into account the con­tents of the LDP, this devel­op­ment brief and any oth­er mater­i­al con­sid­er­a­tions, such as evid­ence of loc­al hous­ing need. 4

Any pro­pos­al should con­sider a phased approach to the site, with devel­op­ment in 3 – 5 year phases. The scheme of phas­ing must be agreed between the plan­ning author­ity and the developer, reflect­ing the capa­city of the site, the LDP hous­ing land sup­ply require­ment and mar­ket, com­munity and oth­er rel­ev­ant factors. Afford­able Hous­ing Afford­able Hous­ing will need to be provided in accord­ance with LDP policy I with up to 25% of units meet­ing that definition.

The pro­vi­sion of a Pri­or­ity Pur­chase Scheme (giv­ing loc­al people oppor­tun­it­ies to pur­chase the plots/​properties for a peri­od of time, before they are placed on the open mar­ket) should also be giv­en care­ful con­sid­er­a­tion. There has been some suc­cess with this approach else­where in the Nation­al Park. Open space and land­scap­ing The devel­op­ment must include a com­pre­hens­ive series of open spaces, all linked by the foot­path and cycle net­work, par­tic­u­larly to the wood­land both with­in and out­with it’s boundary.

Open spaces should be designed to be useable and seek to provide for a vari­ety of activ­it­ies includ­ing: equipped play areas ball games and oth­er inform­al play space nat­ur­al/semi-nat­ur­al green spaces struc­tur­al tree plant­ing sup­port­ing shrub and herb­aceous plant­ing high qual­ity social spaces, such as areas of pub­lic art, allotment/​community grow­ing space or oth­er pub­lic space Some of this require­ment may be provided on the 3.3ha of the site that is cur­rently occu­pied by wood­land and iden­ti­fied on Fig­ure 3 as being man­aged for recre­ation and con­ser­va­tion. The type of open space pro­vi­sion in this area will need to be com­pat­ible with the wood­land envir­on­ment e.g. take the form of nat­ur­al/semi-nat­ur­al green space. This pro­vi­sion should ensure that the 6 wood­land envir­on­ment is retained as much as pos­sible with only min­im­al tree loss. This will also help main­tain the wood­land set­ting of the site’s edge.

With­in the develop­able area of the site space should be provided to allow for peri­pher­al plant­ing to screen and frame views into and out of the site as well as a com­pre­hens­ive tree struc­ture across the whole area, includ­ing street and garden trees. These should be integ­rated into the struc­ture of trees in the open spaces.

Where peri­pher­al plant­ing takes place, areas should be a min­im­um of 15m wide and, where shel­ter is required from pre­vail­ing winds, they should be planted with a high pro­por­tion of trees sup­por­ted with shrub plant­ing. Intern­al areas should be an appro­pri­ate width to allow them to be sus­tain­able and robust. In gen­er­al a min­im­um of 10m around open spaces and 5m in oth­ers should be suit­able. Plant­ing should be largely nat­ive species.

Biod­iversity Tree spe­cies suit­able for the Cairngorms Nation­al Park include: birch (sil­ver and downy), Scots pine, aspen, alder (glu­tinosa), row­an and bird cherry. Shrub spe­cies include: juni­per, blae­berry, heath­er, broom, gorse, hazel, holly, wild hon­ey­suckle and wil­low (goat and grey). Each spe­cies should be planted accord­ing to its nor­mal ground conditions.

A sur­vey of the biod­iversity on-site will be required pri­or to draw­ing up a devel­op­ment lay­out to help inform the lay­out and mit­ig­a­tion of any impacts. This must include the eco­lo­gic­al role of the site in the area, such as for­aging area and route ways, as well as oth­er hab­it­at networks.

In order to inform appro­pri­ate devel­op­ment of the site, it is expec­ted that the fol­low­ing sur­veys will be required: Pro­tec­ted mam­mals, includ­ing bats Botan­ic­al Fungi Wood ants Breed­ing birds Developers should engage with the Cairngorms Nation­al Park Author­ity to dis­cuss sur­vey require­ments and spe­cific­a­tions at an early stage. All sur­veys must fol­low the LDP’s Nat­ur­al Her­it­age Sup­ple­ment­ary Guidance.

The devel­op­ment pro­pos­als will need to demon­strate that, sub­ject to appro­pri­ate mit­ig­a­tion, there will not be an adverse impact upon Spe­cial Pro­tec­tion Areas (SPAs) in the area which are des­ig­nated for their caper­cail­lie interest or the River Spey SAC.

Bat sur­veys will be required for the Boys Bri­gade build­ing and any mature trees iden­ti­fied for remov­al before con­sent could be gran­ted. The devel­op­ment must allow for the enhance­ment of biod­iversity in its lay­out and in par­tic­u­lar the open space and foot­path / cycle­way net­work. The design of indi­vidu­al dwell­ings should con­sider the inclu­sion of bird and bat nest­ing boxes and spaces. Informed design A com­plex set of human needs forms com­munity iden­tity. Part of this is a sense of place and belong­ing. Good design of the places we inhab­it con­trib­utes strongly towards this. A high stand­ard of devel­op­ment is expec­ted and the exist­ing char­ac­ter of Carr-Bridge should be enhanced and com­ple­men­ted by the new development.

The site’s intern­al street lay­out should be based on the con­cepts set out in The Scot­tish Government’s Design­ing Streets (2009). The devel­op­ment will need to be per­meable, con­nect into the sur­round­ing area, make walk­ing and cyc­ling attract­ive and reduce the dom­in­ance of motor­ised vehicles.

Pro­pos­als will need to ensure that the six key qual­it­ies of suc­cess­ful places are con­sidered, namely places that are: Dis­tinct­ive, Safe and pleas­ant, Easy to move around, Wel­com­ing, 8

Adapt­able, and Resource effi­cient. Vari­ety and rich­ness of size and shape of houses and mater­i­al use is required, ensur­ing that build­ing shapes reflect the prin­ciples and pro­por­tions of tra­di­tion­al hous­ing in the area. How­ever, build­ings do not need to copy the form of tra­di­tion­al build­ings. Altern­at­ing build­ing heights are accept­able from 1.5 to 2 storey dwell­ings with steeply pitched roofs con­struc­ted of nat­ur­al slate or cor­rug­ated mater­i­als. The loc­a­tion of these should be determ­ined on the basis of the site’s char­ac­ter­ist­ics, using the wood­land edge to shield the lar­ger build­ings from wider views. Prom­in­ent views, from out­side the bound­ar­ies of the devel­op­ment and with­in, should be iden­ti­fied and used to delin­eate pub­lic and private space.

While the site’s south and east wood­land edge means that parts of the site will often be heav­ily shaded, efforts should be main­tained to max­im­ise sol­ar gain (Fig­ure 5). Extern­al walls should be a lightly shaded col­our and incor­por­ate the use of Fig­ure 5 Sun paths and indic­at­ive pat­tern of dens­ity for Site HI North Sun­set Site Dens­ity More Dense Less Dense Winter sun Sum­mer sun Sun­rise Scale: 1:4,000 Repro­duced by per­mis­sion of Ord­nance Sur­vey on behalf of HMSO. © Crown copy­right and data­base right

painted render and nat­ur­al ver­tic­al tim­ber clad­ding. The use of tim­ber clad­ding for entrance porches and tim­ber detail­ing at eaves is recom­men­ded. While nat­ur­al mater­i­als such as stone, lime render and tim­ber, with slate or met­al roof­ing fin­ishes are pre­ferred, but are not exclus­ive and should not pre­clude innov­at­ive design. Mater­i­al choices should be clearly explained in a design state­ment. Sus­tain­able build and energy require­ments The design of the devel­op­ment should seek to min­im­ise require­ments for energy, demon­strate sus­tain­able use of resources and water effi­ciency and use non-tox­ic, low-embod­ied energy mater­i­als. The design and ori­ent­a­tion of build­ings should seek to max­im­ise sol­ar gain (see Fig­ure 5) and max­im­ise the bene­fit of appro­pri­ate on-site renew­able tech­no­lo­gies such as thermal and photo-vol­ta­ic sol­ar panels.

The pro­pos­al should also assess the options for oth­er appro­pri­ate renew­able tech­no­lo­gies and strive towards a zero or low car­bon devel­op­ment. Bound­ary treat­ment Bound­ar­ies of the pro­posed devel­op­ment are par­tic­u­larly import­ant – they form the edge of the vil­lage and are there­fore import­ant to its identity.

The bound­ar­ies of the devel­op­ment should be formed by Carr Road in the north and the edge of the pine wood­land in the south, east and west. While the wood­land provides a well con­tained back­drop to the site, care­ful con­sid­er­a­tion should be giv­en to the Carr Road bound­ary. This should form the edge of a street and not the back of a sub­urb­an type devel­op­ment char­ac­ter­ised by tall wooden fences or stone walls. The front­ages and intern­al bound­ar­ies of prop­er­ties should be delin­eated by good qual­ity bound­ar­ies, which may include low stone walling, hedge plant­ing or lim­ited tim­ber fen­cing. Fig­ure 6 Example of poten­tial streets­cape lay­out. Gar­dens, shared space and hous­ing are of high­er visu­al prom­in­ence than roads and car-park­ing. While new tree plant­ing with­in the lim­its of a pub­licly adop­ted road bound­ary is not gen­er­ally sup­por­ted, in order to soften the Carr Road bound­ary the plant­ing of addi­tion­al nat­ive trees and oth­er land­scap­ing tech­niques should be employed. These tech­niques should form part of an act­ive street front­age, achieved through the use of var­ied bound­ary treat­ments and loc­a­tion of hous­ing on each plot. 10
