Tipton Area Action Plan

See Adopted Tipton Area Action Plan for further details.

Local Policy TIP1. Alexandra Road/Upper Church Lane/Locarno Road

Primary allocation: Residential, incorporating new Community Open Space.

The development should be a phased comprehensive scheme in accordance with the Council’s key design principles.

Estimated capacity: approximately 440 dwellings (net) allowing for approximately 1.5 hectares of open space on-site.

Proposals should include the provision of affordable housing on-site in accordance with the Council’s needs assessment; based on the estimated capacity and current housing needs assessment this is estimated at 110 dwellings.

Contributions may be required for the balance of open space and play provision, the balance of affordable housing, and local education provision. Consideration will be given to whether a contribution is necessary for sports or community provision.

The need for transportation improvements will be determined following a Transportation Assessment submitted at planning application stage.

Opportunities to remove Tipton Brook from culvert should be explored within the new Community Open Space to create a more naturalised channel, which would also become the functional floodplain. No residential development will be allowed within the functional floodplain. Development within Flood Zones 2 (Medium Probability) or 3a (High Probability) will only be allowed where a site-specific Flood Risk Assessment demonstrates that satisfactory remedial measures, including Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems, can be taken.
