Linden Homes Enfield Boards - New Build Homes | Linden Homes

WelcomeWelcome to Linden Homes’ public exhibition to display its proposals for an attractive new residential development on the Chase Farm Hospital.

As you are likely to be aware, outline planning permission was granted in March 2015 to redevelop Chase Farm Hospital with a mixed-use scheme comprising 32,000 sq. m of replacement hospital facilities, a primary school and up to 500 new homes. Development of the new hospital is proceeding to schedule.

Linden Homes has acquired an interest in the first residential phase of the scheme (Parcel A) and is currently developing proposals for a Reserved Matters application where we will be seeking approval of the detail of the new homes.

Today’s exhibition provides you with an opportunity to view and comment on the detailed proposals for the site, prior to the submission of a planning application later this year.

We are keen to hear your views so please do take the opportunity to speak to representatives of the project team and submit your comments on the feedback forms provided.

Thank you for your interest and for taking the time to attend today’s event.

About usLinden Homes is the country’s fifth largest housebuilder. We are the housebuilding division of Galliford Try, one of the UK’s leading construction companies.

We are based locally in Harefield and are one of 11 regional offices that operate right across England, from Cornwall to Northumberland.

With a reputation for bespoke and creative developments in prime locations, Linden Homes prides itself on its high quality of design. We were awarded Silver at the What House? Awards in 2015 for Sustainable Developer of the Year as well as Housebuilder of the Year and Sustainable Housebuilder of the Year in 2014. We are proud of this recognition from within the industry.

Engaging with local communities is central to the work that we do. We understand that if we are to deliver houses that not only meet the aspirations of those who seek to live in them but also enhance the existing neighbourhood, then we need to talk to and engage with local people.

By seeking out local knowledge and listening to local opinion, we are able to build a fuller picture. We can identify the wider benefits that development can bring to the existing community.

Linden Homes is proud to be part of the Considerate Constructors’ scheme and works hard with local communities throughout the construction process.


House Builder of the Year 2013 & 2014

Site background

Located to the east of The Ridgeway, the site is bordered by existing development and the former Chase Farm Hospital to the north, south and west.

Outline planning permission was granted in March 2015 for a new hospital, a school and a residential development of up to 500 new homes with access to the site from The Ridgeway and Hunters Way / Lavender Hill.

The outline consent comprised:

• Up to 500 new homes.

• Construction of a new healthcare facility (32,000 sq. m).

• Refurbishment of the Highlands wing for continued hospital use.

• Retention of the Clock Tower building for residential use.

• Construction of a new primary school.

• Provision of a new vehicular and pedestrian access to the site from The Ridgeway adjacent to Ridge Crest.

• Provision of a new pedestrian crossing to Lavender Hill.

• Additional car parking for the hospital.

• The creation of new public open space.

All other matters were reserved for a future Reserved Matters planning application.

The illustrative masterplan shown above was submitted as part of the consented outline planning application. Linden Homes’ interest relates only to Parcel A (outlined in red). Other phases will be developed separately in due course.

Linden Homes will work closely with the NHS to ensure that the proposals are consistent with the delivery of the wider site.

Parcel A

Scheme proposals

Linden Homes’ Reserved Matters scheme comprises:

• An attractive mix of 138 homes, comprising:

– 1 bed apartments x 6 homes



– 2 bed houses x 6 homes



• Of the 138 homes, 26 are proposed to be classified as affordable housing, in accordance with the outline planning permission.

• Vehicular access to the site from the Ridgeway and Hunters Way / Lavender Hill (see Highways, access and drainage board for more information).

• Car parking will be provided in line with the outline consent.

What are Reserved Matters?

Reserved Matters are the design details of layout, scale, appearance and landscaping that were reserved for future agreement by the Council.

All of these Reserved Matters are yet to be determined by the Council and are therefore part of this application.

Matters such as the principle of development on the site, the point of vehicular access and the total number of homes that can be built on the site were agreed as part of the outline planning consent.

Highways, access and drainage

Highways and access

• A comprehensive Transport Assessment was submitted to the London Borough of Enfield as Highways Authority to form part of the outline planning application.

• The Highways Authority raised no objection to the outline planning application.

• Vehicular access to the site from The Ridgeway and Hunters Way / Lavender Hill will be retained. This was agreed in the outline planning permission.

• The main access at The Ridgeway is proposed to be enhanced, including provision for right-turning (inbound) movements.

• Car parking will be provided in line with the outline consent.

Drainage

• As required by planning conditions on the outline planning permission, Linden Homes will submit a detailed drainage strategy.

• The drainage strategy will:

– Limit the surface water run-off generated by the development to greenfield rates during all storm events up to and including the 1 in 100 chance in any year event, taking the effects of climate change into account.

– Maximise the use of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) including green/brown roofs.

– Establish design code parameters for above ground surface water management across the development site.

– Utilise drainage facilities and infrastructure will be utilised where at all possible.

Investing in local communities: A case study

Wilshere Park, Welwyn: A case studyFor many people, the visible sign of Linden Homes’ investment in their community will be the new homes that we build.

We are certainly proud of the quality of our product but we also know that our investment stretches far beyond bricks and mortar; our houses provide homes for families, jobs for local businesses and opportunities for apprentices. To demonstrate what this can mean for a community, we have looked in depth at our £45.8 million residential scheme at Wilshere Park, Welwyn.

Results of our case study:

The positive benefits of our house building in Wilshere Park:

• 194 new homes for the local community.

• 46 affordable properties, providing a mix of social rented and shared ownership opportunities.

• New footpath link between the development and Whitehill.

• £1.75 million contribution towards local services and infrastructure.

To date, construction on this four-phase development has:

• Created 195 jobs onsite.

• Enabled 15 young apprentices to be employed.

• Used many local firms to work on site.

Community benefits for Enfield

The development of Linden Homes’ scheme would deliver a number of important benefits to the local community, including:

• Significant investment into the local economy through the development of the site.

• The provision of much needed market and affordable housing for local people.

• New Homes Bonus payments to the London Borough of Enfield totalling £873,536 over a six-year period. The money is provided un-ringfenced.

• A comprehensive Section 106 package towards local infrastructure and services would be made in accordance with the outline planning permission.

• The creation of a number of new jobs during the construction period. A development of 138 homes would require a workforce of 207 people.*

• Opportunities for local people seeking apprenticeships in the building industry.

• Highly energy efficient homes using the fabric first approach, helping to reduce the cost of utility bills.
