Site Analysis & Context 3.03.1 Site Location

The site is located off Shelton Road, within Willowbrook East Industrial Estate, approximately 2.2km north-east of Corby Town.

The approximate centre of the site is located at National Grid Reference (NGR) 490910, 290830.

The application site occupies an approximate total area of 2.53 ha and is regular in shape. It is defined to the north by a watercourse known as Willow Brook North Arm, with green space beyond. The east of the site is bounded by Shelton Road which is in an approximate north to south orientation. The south of the site is bounded by light industrial style properties and the west by a car/vehicle storage area.


Site Analysis & Context 3.03.2 Site Context

The site is located in a predominantly light industrial setting and the following current activities been identified in the surrounding area:

NorthA watercourse, known as Willow Brook North Arm, with green space and woodland beyond. Rockingham Motor Speedway and associated facilities are located beyond and to the northeast and north-west. The elevation of the landscape rises dramatically to the north over the private land of the Speedway; the back of the stadium seating is a prominent feature on the skyline.

EastShelton Road, in an approximate north to south orientation, with light industrial properties and unoccupied land beyond. Beyond, to the south east there is an Academy and a new housing development, both of which occupy a slightly lower elevation. The countryside then gradually rises, 2km to the east of the Site.

South Light industrial style properties amid tree belt planting in a flat landscape.

WestCar/vehicle storage extends for 1km. Following this, business and industrial park buildings are located adjacent to the A6116.


Site Analysis & Context 3.03.3 Site Description

The majority of the site is currently utilised as a car storage area (i.e. tarmac roads with gravelled areas) bounded with palisade fencing with the northern elevation of the Site utilised for landscaping and as a buffer from the adjacent watercourse. The northern part of the site boundary extends into a small woodland, which divides the industrial estate from Rockingham Motor Speedway.

The Site has a total area of approximately 2.53 Hectares and is regular in shape following the edge of the nearby yards and bordering an access road to the Speedway. Access to the Site is via Shelton Road on the western elevation of the Site. The topography of the car storage area appears to be relatively flat lying at approximately 106m Above Ordnance Datum (AOD).

Site Analysis & Context 3.03.5 Historic Context

The application site remained undeveloped agricultural land until the 1930s. By the early 1950s, a pond or lagoon was located on site which was likely to be associated with the steel industry. By the mid-1960s the lagoon was removed and industrial-style units were constructed on the south-western corner of the site. In the late 1980s the industrial units were removed and the site has remained undeveloped since.

Within the recent historical context, the immediate area has long supported industry. Corby was a significant steel-making centre following the establishment of the Stewarts & Lloyds production site

in the 1930s. When the British steel industry was nationalised in the 1960s, the Stewards & Lloyds works, located to the south and south-west of the Site, became part of British Steel.

The site closed in the early 1980s although the tube making facility now operated by Corus/Tata remains in operation. The Willowbrook East Industrial Estate was built in the late 1980s with further industrial development taking place top the south-east, south and south-west of the site in the early 1990s.

Site Analysis & Context 3.03.6 Planning Context

The Northamptonshire Minerals and Waste Local Plan includes the following policies that are relevant to the proposed development:

SPD3 requires proposals for development to incorporate the following principles:

• High quality design – High quality design that accommodates the nature of operations and is in context with and complementary to the surrounding landscape and townscape.

• Holistic design – Holistic design incorporating all components of the built form into a consistent architectural treatment. Including all buildings (operational, offices, reception, security, etc), building components (ventilation, extractor grills, service pipes, etc), storage areas, structures, secure boundary treatments (gates and fences), service infrastructure, wash bays, weigh bridges, etc.

• Local distinctiveness – Support local distinctiveness and character.• Environmental protection and enhancement – All design aspects

(built form, site layout, lighting, access, landscaping, etc) should seek to avoid and where necessary mitigate adverse impacts on the surrounding environment and human health (including air, water, land, noise, odour, amenity, landscape, biodiversity, heritage assets, geodiversity, and flood risk) whilst maximising beneficial outcomes.

• Sustainable development – Incorporate sustainable development practices that promote the prudent use of natural resources, waste minimisation, and energy efficiency.

• Strategic site layout – Seek to reduce impact on both the immediate surrounds and the broader landscape level through strategic site layout.

• High quality landscaping and boundary treatments – High quality landscaping and boundary treatments that are in context with and complementary to the surrounding landscape character. Landscaping and boundary treatments should be maintained to a high standard and positively contribute towards amenity,

Policy 27 ‘Layout and design quality’ states that:-

- the layout and overall appearance of waste management facilities will be required to demonstrate that the development: · supports local identity and relates well to neighbouring sites and buildings, · is set in the context of the area in which it is to be sited in a manner that enhances the overall townscape, landscape or streetscape (as appropriate), · utilises local building materials as appropriate, · incorporates specific elements of visual interest, and · builds-in safety and security.

biodiversity, heritage assets, and nature conservation where possible. Landscaping and boundary treatments should seek to balance the needs of both the historic and natural environment, and not compromise heritage assets.

• Effective buffers – Provision of adequate and effective buffers to reduce adverse impacts on sensitive receptors or areas. Buffers are to be in context with and complementary to surrounding landscape or townscape, and may include aspects of the built form, landscaping, and boundary treatments. Buffers should seek to positively contribute towards amenity, biodiversity, heritage assets, nature conservation, habitat enhancement, and catchment conservation where possible. Buffers should balance the needs of, and protect, both the historic and the natural environment. Access opportunities within buffer areas should be maximised where safe.

• Lighting – Minimise light pollution (includes sky glow, glare, light spill, and trespass).

• Site access – Site entry and public access areas are to be well maintained and act to reduce the visual impact of the site. Public rights of way should be retained where possible.

• Access to the major transport network should seek to reduce impacts on sensitive receptors.

• Sustainable transport – Incorporate sustainable or alternative transport options where appropriate (e.g. rail and water transport).

• Integrated development – Maximise opportunities to locate complementary operations and activities together.

• Public safety – The design, layout, and landscaping components should seek to plan out crime by creating safe and secure environments, increasing the risk of detection of criminal or antisocial activity, and make crime more difficult to commit.


Site Analysis & Context 3.03.7 Site Analysis

Transport Routes (Context)The site is served by nearby connections to major transport arteries, which include the A6116 and A43 shown in red. Direct secondary routes are also indicated, together with the railway in blue

Transport Routes (Direct Access)Access to the site entrance is from Shelton Road, which currently serves the Willowbrook Industrial Estate and provides quick access to the A6116 (Steel Road) to the south of the site

Views to the Site & Sun Path Immediate visual connection is from the adjacent industrial buildings to the south. These in turn provide screening from the wider area. The existing trees at the north boundary also provide screening from that direction (and Rockingham Speedway beyond).


Site Analysis & Context 3.03.8 Figure Ground Analysis



• The site was granted planning consent ref 13/00079WASFUL for an Advanced Conversion Technology & Anaerobic Digestion Facility on 7th February 2014.

• Previously developed site – The site is ‘brownfield’, and land will be brought back into productive use.

• The site is adjacent to existing Willowbrook Industrial Estate and the site can utilise the shared infrastructure.

• There is a good existing connection to the local and national highway network.

• Proximity to local public transport• Location within a developed area ensures a good connection to

existing Local and National Grid high voltage network• Potential for future development in the area will be able to take

advantage of ERC development output within infrastructure via heating & power supply, to help achieve government and corporate sustainable development targets.

• Employment opportunities through the redevelopment.• The extent of the application site allows the opportunity for

appropriate and landscaping at strategic location within the proposals.

• Extensive existing planting at boundary perimeter provides visual screening from the surrounding area.

• Proximity to urban areas – provides both a source of waste generation and demand for renewable energy supply.

• Opportunity to provide a sustainable form of energy to the local area.

• Opportunity to improve the quality of the environment. • Reduction of local waste sent to landfill.

3.9 Site Opportunities


Design Proposals 4.04.1 Concept and site Layout

This current planning application seeks permission for an Energy Recovery Facility at Shelton Road, Corby which will process up to 195,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of waste.

The proposed facility houses a complete process which is most efficiently achieved through a linear building form, in which the waste enters the building at one end, and is passed through one process and onto the next until the energy recovery process is complete at the other.

The elements of this process, which will be described in detail in following sections, can be broken down into four distinct functional ‘Zones’ within the main building floor plan which are as follows:

Zone 1: Internal Waste ReceptionZone 2: Fuel Storage AreaZone 3: Waste Processing/ TreatmentZone 4: Power Generation


Design Proposals 4.0 The arrangement of the proposed site layout responds to the existing site and established context, with the access road and industrial estate to the south forming a natural site frontage, and the principal elevation of the ER facility is faced towards and is parallel to the line of this road. The resulting orientation, with the buildings long axis running southwest – northeast, also responds to the existing site topography, and utilises the most level area of the existing site.

Visible ‘legibility’ of the site layout and building and its function has been an important consideration of the design and layout for the site, and the visibility of the buildings main reception from the site entry point is intended to establish a strong link with the public realm, and help provide a welcoming front to visitors and community alike.

Similarly consideration has been given to site legibility for commercial vehicular delivery vehicles, and the derived layout and building frontage help to achieve this aim.

Vehicles will deliver waste to the Waste Reception bays within Zone 1 at the north east end of the main building, with ash collection made from the bays located within the adjacent Zone 4 on the south east facade. The building has been orientated with Zone 1 at the north east end of the site. Zone 4 is then positioned on the south west elevation.

Circulation on the site reflects the logical function of the layout, with site entry/ exit at the eastern corner, and from the existing access road. A one-way circuit provides access to delivery bay areas, staff/ visitor car parking, and the ash collection beyond.

The ER facility building and external service areas are set on the south east elevation and provide a live active face to the site boundary and access road. This helps to provide an attractive site frontage and to optimise site biodiversity.

The provision of areas of planted landscaping to the boundaries also responds to the existing site context and helps to integrate the proposed development on the site.

Site Responses diagram


Design Proposals 4.04.2 Use (Function)

The proposed building comprises a Materials Recovery Facility and a purpose built gasification process hall which houses the gasification plant and ancillary equipment.

The associated infrastructure includes a 45m high combined flue stack – comprising of 3 combined flues, two small fire fighting tanks, standby generators, electrical substation, district heating connection, two weigh-bridges, and a security gatehouse building.

4.3 Use (Internal Layout)

The proposed development also provides a dedicated staff and visitor reception at ground floor, with associated administrative and staff facilities at first floor level. This area also includes a conference/ meeting room, which also serves as the Education Suite.

The provision of an education facility is an important element within the proposed facility, and provides the opportunity through pre-arranged visits, for local community and school groups to learn first - hand about the technologies being utilised within the Energy Recovery Facility, and how they benefit our environment on both a local and global scale.

Through the education suites’ inclusion in the brief it has been the developer’s intention that this will not only help raise general awareness of environmental issues and the role that the facilities technologies play within this, but also to establish a connection with the local community and to help ensure that the facility is seen as approachable, and not ‘closed door’.

The reception, education and staff facility’s are positioned at the front (south east elevation) of the building, with the reception at ground floor level, so that there is a strong prescence to the public access road.

4.5 ScaleThe chosen ACT technology has been selected because it utilises a horizontal boiler and entails a relatively low proposed building height.

The linear nature of the processes involved determines that the mechanical elements are most effectively positioned in close proximity to, and level with one another.

All the primary technologies are efficiently enclosed within one main building structure. This also has the benefit of minimising excessive spatial requirements for connecting pipework, stacking of equipment, and avoiding any requirement for separate structures on the site.

Whilst the proposed development is inherently industrial in both function and scale, it is of a proportion that would normally be associated with a typical industrial location, and is therefore in keeping with the existing facilities adjacent to the application site and wider local context.


Design Proposals 4.04.6 Massing

The main building comprises of a steel portal frame, and is 80.5m at it’s widest and 173m overall in length. The ridge level is 22m from floor level.

There is one stack that contains 3 individual flues from the process equipment. The stack has been sited within the footprint of the building and is located in the south western corner. The stack has a total height of 45m but the visible element above the roof of the facility is only 30m.

The facility has been designed so that as much of the process and ancillary functions that are required are contained within the single main building in order to minimise the amount of ‘industrial clutter’ to a minimum.

The external plant includes:

- Two small fire fighting water storage tanks (7.5m dia and 6m high)and standby generators. These are located in north west corner of the site and are screened to views from the south and east by the turbine and main process building

- Air Cooled Condenser Units (81m long 9.5m wide 14.5m high) this unit is located in close proximity to the turbine halls where a connection is required. Elevated on columns these units define the western boundary to the site.

- Two small buildings each 6m long 3m wide and 3m high are required for the electrical substation and to house the equipment for the District heating connection. The location of these buildings is determined by the layout of the existing infrastructure and connection points.

- A gatehouse 6m long 3m wide and 3m high is located in the north east corner of the site and acts as visible marker for the site entrance and will be a first point of call for visiting vehicles. It is of a domestic ‘approachable’ scale, and provides an immediate connection with the public realm close to the site boundary.

Design Proposals 4.04.7 Appearance

The application site is identified as a suitable location for waste management use within the Northamptonshire Minerals and Waste Development Framework. The proposed Energy Recovery Centre is industrial in purpose but is of a scale and aesthetic that is modern and of a high quality, and the design has been developed through consideration of its use and integration within the site setting and existing context.

The main ACT building is of a steel portal frame primary structure, with double skinned cladding providing a sealed internal environment. The external cladding is a high performance composite insulated panel system generally, with powder coated aluminium framed curtain walling to glazed areas, with standing seam roof, which provide a crisp modern appearance.

The palette of materials and finishes has been kept simple with contrasting finishes to define functional elements within the elevations, in order to create a building that is legible from the public realm.

The primary long elevations are clad in a profiled metal panel with a pale green finish. Together with the linear profile of the building, this colouring helps integrate the building within the landscaped setting, both on site and the existing areas beyond.

Eaves level is at 14m from floor level, with the low pitched roof extending to 22m at the central ridge, with the curved eaves further reducing the perceived height of the building.

Extensive curtain walling has been utilised for the reception, administrative and visitor facilities at the front of the building at first floor level, with a double height section of glazing providing emphasis to the main reception area at ground floor. This benefits the quality of the interior spaces through natural daylight but also provides an important visual connection for staff, visitors and the community alike.



The facility has only two points which require regular vehicle access. these are made by bay door access and serve zone 1 (delivery of waste/fuel) and zone 4 (collection of ash for recycling).There are four additional points, two each on the south east and north west elevations in zone 3 that are required for maintenance.

Contrasting finishes have been used to unify each group of the bay doors for each of these areas, with a light grey/ metallic cladding finish used, and this and this has been used to define feature walls at the end elevations (at the start and end of the energy recovery process). The roller bay shutter doors are themselves highlighted and are finished in a complimentary pastel blue.

The flue stack is clad with a light grey finished open hooped structure – which has been designed to provide visual interest and to break the verticality of the functional flue elements. Through consideration of these elements and use of a shared palette of materials, the flues read as part of a cohesive overall design, rather than standalone items.

The palette of materials used within the main building have been continued in the treatment of the ancilliary structures, with the vertical elevations clad in profiled metal, and finished in a pastel blue to match the roller bay doors. The flexible membrane roof finish will

Design Proposals 4.04.8 Accessibility

Vehicle accessVehicle flows will be dependent on the type, volume and origin of the materials brought to the site, and will be determined by local requirements. Detailed analysis and quantities of deliveries and trip generation is set out in the Environmental Statement as part of the planning application.

Vehicle access to the site is via Shelton Road on the eastern elevation of the site. Shelton road is a 7.3m wide industrial estate road serving part of Willowbrook Industrial Estate.

Traffic flow on site is via a one way system with the delivery recetion visible from the site entrance. This ensures deliveries can be processed without congestion.

Staff AccessThe site is located to the northeast of Corby and to the southwest of Peterborough. Shelton Road joins the A6116 Steel Road which provides a key east-west link between the A6006 (via Phoenix Way) and the A43.

A Travel Plan has been prepared for site, and is included within the Transport Assessment within the Environmental Statement submitted as part of the Planning Application. The TP details anticipated patterns for relevant modes of transport and includes a number of recommendations to be implemented to encourage sustainable modes of transport by staff and visitors alike.

Public transportThe nearest bus stop is located on Steel Road approximately 400 metres walk from the site. The route to the eastbound bus stop can be comfortably walked in 5 minutes. The corresponding westbound bus stop on steel road is located 6 minutes walk from the site. These services provide access to a wide area including Corby Rail Station and Town Centre at a reasonable frequency and duration during the day and evenings.

By CarAccess to the site is shared at a single entrance point for all vehicles,

and cars will use the one way circulation route. 15 dedicated car parking spaces have been provided, and sited away from the service vehicle areas directly adjacent to the buildings main entrance/ reception area. Connecting pedestrian routes from these spaces do not cross vehicle routes.

Two of the parking spaces are extra width and are compliant disabled access spaces, and are positioned at the end of the parking bays, with closest proximity to the main building entrance for ease of access. Dropped kerbs are incorporated at these locations to aid wheelchair manoeuvring.

Additionally, electric vehicle charging points (EVCP’s) are included within the scheme to encourage uptake of electric vehicles.

CycleA cycle store is included within the proposed scheme, to encourage the use of alternative modes of transport to the car for staff and visitors. The cycle store will be covered, secure and will incorporate lighting. The store will provide at least 10 spaces, and will be in excess of the local planning requirement. As shown on the proposed Site Layout, the store will be located at the east end of the car parking bays and in view of the building entrance and the manned site entrance office, to increase security. Access between the cycle store and site entrance will be via the shared pathway.

PedestriansThe proposed development encourages access by pedestrians through the provision of clearly defined and safe pathways between the public realm and the building entrance.

Raised pedestrian crossings are provided in the locations when this route is required to cross the vehicular circulation route, which will be appropriately marked.

There are reasonably good pedestrian facilities for those undertaking walking trips in the local area. There is a footway along the western side of Shelton Road of a reasonable standard and is well lit.

4.9 Inclusive and accessible design

In additional to the relevant external measures noted above, the development is designed to be compliant with the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 and the Equality Act 2010, using as guidance Approved Document Part M of the Building Regulations, and the Guidance found in British Standard 8300:2009 ‘Design of buildings and their approaches to meet the needs of disabled people’, where relevant to this type of facility.

Level hard landscaped surfaces adjacent to the building provide safe and direct access for parking bays and pedestrian routes, with a level threshold access to the ground floor reception area. Glazed double entrance doors are provided at ground floor and will be automatic opening. The conference/ education suite is located at first floor level, and a wheel chair compliant lift is located within the double height entrance lobby. The stair is also located here, and is designed to be compliant for ambulant disabled use.

A fully compliant accessible wc has been provided and accessed directly from the entrance lobby at ground floor.

The reception / waiting area at first floor level is accessed directly from the level 01 stair and lift landing, and is sufficiently sized to provide wheelchair manoeuvrability and waiting in additional to the seating provided. The conference/ education suite are in turn accessed directly from this area.

All corridor widths are 1200mm wide, and circulation doors will be a minimum 1000mm doorsets.
