WINTER 2013 WELCOME & INTRODUCTION ALDERSHOT URBAN EXTENSION WELLESLEY | GRAINGER NEWSLETTER FOR THE ALDERSHOT URBAN EXTENSION Welcome to the fifth edition of the Wellesley newsletter. Grainger has been working closely with local stakeholders and the community on the proposals for Wellesley, the Aldershot Urban Extension. This has resulted in the submission of a Hybrid planning Application to Rushmoor Borough Council. This comprises of an outline planning application for the whole development plus a detailed planning application for the first 228 new homes. John Beresford, Development Director for the AUE scheme at Grainger, said: “We are pleased to submit this major planning application, which, if approved, will help revitalise and improve Aldershot as a whole. By working closely with the community, the Council, the MoD, HCA and other stakeholders, we believe our proposal will bring long-term economic benefits to the wider Aldershot community, while providing much-needed, good quality new homes, new schools and fantastic green open spaces and amenities.” THE VISION Wellesley will be a new area of Aldershot, integrated but distinctive, that will enhance and add to the vitality of the town. It will be an attractive and desirable place for users and residents and will provide new facilities for the wider community. Wellesley will take its character from its history, its fine stock of historic buildings and its mature landscape. Drawing on these assets it will develop its own architectural and landscape legacy as it grows over time. Wellesley will build on the established pattern of streets, cycleways and footpaths to provide safe and permeable links to the town and to the wider countryside. It will also enhance the existing mature landscape to provide a network of green spaces to provide recreation, increase biological diversity and put all residents in contact with nature. The way the new development is used and constructed, its ease of access, the provision of public transport and its servicing will come together to promote an efficient use of energy in accordance with the latest and most advanced practice. Wellesley will grow organically and in a logical sequence. Community facilities will be provided at each stage. Each area will have its own character and interest created from its location, use and individual design but will be managed to contribute creatively to a coherent over-all identity. The participation of the existing community and new residents will be encouraged to establish a sense of community and ownership. KEY FEATURES • The protection and early delivery of the Cambridge Military Hospital as a landmark and a principal defining feature of the area. • A new active neighbourhood centre at the crossroads of Queens Avenue and Alison’s Road incorporating the 4th Division Headquarters Building. Proposals include new retail, leisure and business space to support and service the community and act as a focal point. This provision is an important component of the Sustainability Strategy, intended to reduce the need to travel within the Wellesley area. The scale of the facilities is such that the Neighbourhood Centre will complement rather than compete with the Aldershot town centre and North Camp village centre. • The refurbishment of the Smith Dorrien House and the Maida Gymnasium as a gateway to the area on the principal access from the town centre. • The creation of a heritage trail providing access to historically significant monuments and memorials. • The delivery of a new large open space at the centre of the development, in the form of a central park will respond to the existing road pattern and the historic Stanhope Lines. • The restoration and developed of the canal frontage to enhance its nature conservation value while providing a recreational asset. • The delivery of significant new areas devoted to SANGS (Suitable Alternative Natural Green Space), allotments and sports fields for existing and new communities.

Welcome to the fifth edition of the Wellesley newsletter.
Grainger has been working closely with local stakeholders and the community on the proposals for Wellesley, the Aldershot urban Extension. This has resulted in the submission of a Hybrid planning Application to Rushmoor Borough council. This comprises of an outline planning application for the whole development plus a detailed planning application for the first 228 new homes.
John Beresford, development director for the AuE scheme at Grainger, said:
“We are pleased to submit this major planning application, which, if approved, will help revitalise and improve Aldershot as a whole. By working closely with the community, the council, the mod, HcA and other stakeholders, we believe our proposal will bring long-term economic benefits to the wider Aldershot community, while providing much-needed, good quality new homes, new schools and fantastic green open spaces and amenities.”
THE VISIoN
Wellesley will be a new area of Aldershot, integrated but distinctive, that will enhance and add to the vitality of the town. It will be an attractive and desirable place for users and residents and will provide new facilities for the wider community.
Wellesley will take its character from its history, its fine stock of historic buildings and its mature landscape. drawing on these assets it will develop its own architectural and landscape legacy as it grows over time.
Wellesley will build on the established pattern of streets, cycleways and footpaths to provide safe and permeable links to the town and to the wider countryside. It will also enhance the existing mature landscape to provide a network of green spaces to provide recreation, increase biological diversity and put all residents in contact with nature.
The way the new development is used and constructed, its ease of access, the provision of public transport and its servicing will come together to promote an efficient use of energy in accordance with the latest and most advanced practice.
Wellesley will grow organically and in a logical sequence. community facilities will be provided at each stage. Each area will have its own character and interest created from its location, use and individual design but will be managed to contribute creatively to a coherent over-all identity. The participation of the existing community and new residents will be encouraged to establish a sense of community and ownership.
KEY fEATuRES• The protection and early delivery of the cambridge
military Hospital as a landmark and a principal defining feature of the area.
• A new active neighbourhood centre at the crossroads of Queens Avenue and Alison’s Road incorporating the 4th division Headquarters Building. Proposals include new retail, leisure and business space to support and service the community and act as a focal point. This provision is an important component of the Sustainability Strategy, intended to reduce the need to travel within the Wellesley area. The scale of the facilities is such that the Neighbourhood centre will complement rather than compete with the Aldershot town centre and North camp village centre.
• The refurbishment of the Smith dorrien House and the maida Gymnasium as a gateway to the area on the principal access from the town centre.
• The creation of a heritage trail providing access to historically significant monuments and memorials.
• The delivery of a new large open space at the centre of the development, in the form of a central park will respond to the existing road pattern and the historic Stanhope lines.
• The restoration and developed of the canal frontage to enhance its nature conservation value while providing a recreational asset.
• The delivery of significant new areas devoted to SANGS (Suitable Alternative Natural Green Space), allotments and sports fields for existing and new communities.

The masterplan illustrates a number of key principles to facilitate the delivery of a quality development. It’s important that the master plan is not set in stone because over the life of the development it will need to evolve as life changes. Any future improvements to the master plan will be developed with Rushmoor Borough council.
Proposals Include:• up to 3,850 new homes• 35% affordable homes• Refurbishment of 6 listed buildings including:• cambridge military Hospital• 4th division Headquarters• Smith dorrien• maida Gymnasium• observatory• fitzwygram House• A new heritage trail• 2 new primary schools• day care facilities• A local centre with new offices and local shops• Pub/restaurant• community and leisure facilities• Household waste recycling centre• Approximately 2.4 ha of employment area• Approximately 110 ha of SANGS • New play areas and a local park• Allotments• Public access to sports fields

The identification of the first phase was carefully chosen due to:
• close proximity to the town centre and the Health centre
• Available transport services within walking distance of Aldershot train station and the Gold bus route
• opportunities for the early provision of community facilities at Smith dorrien
• Existing access off Queens Avenue
The design of the 228 units in phase 1 focuses on the needs of families and creating a safe, secure and attractive environment which will eventually become the hallmark for Wellesley. It creates a series of residential neighbourhoods connected by a network of green spaces, parks and recreation areas and punctuated by carefully chosen and refurbished historic buildings.
