Planning History
The site previously benefited from outline planning permission – reference 03/01653/OUTEIS which permitted a total of 720 residential units as part of the Oxley Park Development. Since this permission, Taylor Wimpey Plc, then gained Reserved Matters Approval (ref: 06/0070/MKPCR) for site 6 in conjunction with the Design for Manufacture competition.
The Design Process
The design of the ‘Oxley’ house adheres to the 20 principles of the ‘Building for Life’ National Standard – awarded to housebuilders which demonstrate commitment to exacting design and sustainable communities. The principals are based around 20 questions in four categories – character; roads, parking and pedestrianisation; design and construction; and environment and community. The homes satisfy 16 criteria of ‘Lifetime Homes’, ensuring ease of adaptation to ensure life events can be accommodated quickly and easily. These criteria range from a living room at entrance level to flush access and adequate turning space for wheelchairs in the dining areas and living rooms. The house design also incorporates a ground floor toilet and shower which can be adapted to be wheelchair compliant.
