I welcome my councillor colleagues to the presentation, councillor Graham Cohn and John Williams, my councillor colleagues from South Cams and councillor Rob Bryden, city councillor colleague from Cherry Hinton Ward. Welcome. Thank you, James. Carry on please. Thank you. So evening all, thanks for your time. I'm Henry James. I'm a Development Surveyor at Hill Residential. As mentioned, Chris Flood, who's a project director at Marshall, is also on the meeting, albeit it'll be myself presenting this evening. Just a bit of context, Hill and Marshall are in a joint venture to deliver the first few phases of homes at Marley. So what we're going to, what I'll do this evening is just give you a quick update in terms of the first phase at Marley, which is under construction. And then also just give you a overview of the second phase, which will be coming forward as a planning application soon. The first slide here really is just to give you all bit of context in terms of location. Obviously we're in the east of Cambridge, just above the airport, just off New Market Road with Fenders into the north. You can see it, the blue line outline here represents the outline planning approval that was granted in 2016, which is for up to 1,300 homes. It also included open space and non-residential elements and a school. The red line you can see might be quite difficult to see, but that represents the phase two red line, which I'll come on to shortly. So just to give you some context in terms of where we are today. In terms of the scheme history, Outland was approved in 2016, as mentioned for 1,300 homes. That at the time set the principle as well for 30% affordable housing on this in November 2018 infrastructure was approved for the scheme, which was elements such as the roads and drainage that were implemented. In December 2019, the first 239 homes were approved, which is kind of where my curse is trying to circle on the screen here. This included the non-residential elements as well in the Mali Square. And then in December 2020, so not too long ago, phase one B was approved, which was the next 300 homes, which focused on the northern section of the site, which is where most of the larger detached units for this scheme sit. So phase one total 547 homes, that's been already approved. And there's been some really good news recently, I should mention as well in terms of the Mali primary school that's had the go ahead for an opening date in September 2022. So Bill Marshall, in the process, I think it may have happened today, who are about to happen in transferring the land for that site to the county council. And that school is going to be built by Morgan, Cyngor, and elsewhere to start shortly. And yes, September 22, September 2022 is the target date for that opening. We basically send a drone up to site once a month. We try and make sure we avoid the aeroplanes near the airport and get some really good pictures. And I think here's just really helpful to use some context in terms of phase one and phase two. Slightly old photo now of phase one, but hopefully you get a perspective here from those of you who know New Market Road. Phase two is the area as you can see here highlighted in red. It also includes where we have a sales and marketing suite, which is a temporary building with a temporary planning commission. Just give you a few more visuals. This is just looking at the site so you can see the first homes in phase one are underway and being built. We had first occupations at the end of last year and so the community is starting to form. You can see the new cycle route as well along here on the screen. Just a couple more visuals really to put phase one and phase two into context. Again, phase two being the red line. See the first homes of phase one coming forward. And again, another photo here where you can see the sales and marketing suite. Henry, your voice is breaking up slightly. Would it help to turn off your video? Yeah, I can give that a go. Apologies for that. Okay, please just give me a shout out. So just moving on, just a quick bit of context. The site benefits from an approved design code and also some approved parameter plans. So in terms of the parameters around building heights, road positions and the type of homes and apartments has been set previously. And then moving on to phase two, just to give you an overview of the master plan of the site. Our current proposals have got us to a place for 421 homes and this is after extensive sort of consultation with the council. We've been through four pre-apps now and several design workshops. As you can see, it's a mixture of houses and apartments as the site is effectively two distinct areas. We've got the more to the dense area where it's called the city at the southern end of the site, which compromises five apartment blocks. Four sort of position together and then one on the edge where the sales and marketing suite currently is. And then we've got 88 houses included in the 421 and this will be 30% affordable housing as per the outline. I'm going to skip this slide because I come on something similar later. I just wanted now to just give you some visuals really of the scheme of our phase two proposals. So firstly, just considering the view from new market road, which is obviously a very well used road. We focused on providing a gateway building into the scheme here. And so for a bit of context, those of you who know the site, there's a road called Marley Avenue that currently leads into the scheme. This is the road here you can see on the right. So, yeah, we're putting a lot of attention and detail into kind of how the gateway will look coming into the scheme. Then just to take you around down Marley Avenue main road leading into the site currently. This is a combination in the distance to the right is phase one. And then on the left here is some visuals of what phase two we're looking like here. The apartment building is generally a combination of three to four stories. And from here we're looking back from the Marley Square, which is whether you've got a combination of apartments, non residential on the school. So again, there's a real focus here on providing a bit of a feature building given the, it will become a focal point for the community. This is then looking on the western edge of the scheme, an area called Beta Street, which one of the things we've had to be mindful of here designing the scheme is that it faces onto the third phase of Marley, which is not a scheme that's coming forward. But we know in the future there's a really good opportunity here with an area of open space called Beta Square. So what we thought to do here is ensure that the apartments kind of maximise their aspects and outlook over this area for the future when they're built. Just moving then on to Beta Avenue, which is the road, the northern section of the apartments. The area here is providing a transition on the left from the apartments to the houses. And as you can see the apartment designs here and slightly reducing scale and maybe more, sort of look more similar to townhouses as that transition is made to the housing part of the scheme. Just a couple of interesting points within the apartments, we've actually found a really good opportunity here to remove what was originally planned as a road and running north to south through through the site. We've managed to accommodate or certainly we're proposing to accommodate a green, green and blue feature, which will be some landscape areas with integrating studs as well. So it is just a visual example of what that will look like. And then equally running sort of east to west through the apartment scheme. We've been keen to come up with a solution. It's a suitable street to avoid the scheme being car dominated. So the idea here is a shared surface. It allows people to drive in and park and accessing the podium car parking for the apartment buildings. But equally, it's, you know, focal point for for children for people to meet up and move around the scheme. What you're aware of is because we have got podium parking for the main four blocks. This is provided as a really good opportunity for some, some green space, what we call resident gardens. And so this is where we'll be integrating play areas and just making sure that residents of these apartment apartments have an accessible space on the doorstep and then not rely on going around the wider site. As their kind of nearest option for for green space. And he's just again a visual to give you an example of how one of these some various will look like framed by the apartment buildings. Henry, could you start drawing it to a close please so we have time for questions. Absolutely. It should be about a minute or so. And then really just coming on to the housing part of the scheme. So these are the 88 homes in the northern section of the site. We've got a mixture of typologies. We've got two bed housing, three bed housing, four bed housing, terrace, semi-detached and detached. So a really good mix. We've got a focal point in the scheme called the Titch, which is a nice green space. Here's a visual of that area where we've found a few opportunities to create some feature homes that are a little bit different to the the norm of this scheme, as you can see here on the left with some flat roof design. A visual of what that will look like. And then the other thing just to bring out as well is we found an opportunity within the scheme to create a, and we're going to play street, which will be a really interesting opportunity for whether the kids laying down there. Residents have barbecues, and we think this will be a really nice opportunity as well to integrate some of the public art strategy for the scheme in this particular area. So just to summarise really, as I said before, we've been through numerous pre-apps on the scheme for now, and we've got to a point now where we've established the design principles of the scheme, which is great. We'll now be moving forward with a public consultation in the next month, and that will be a combination probably of a letter drop and a website because we want to hear everyone's views on the scheme, so there will be the opportunity for people to comment. Moving from there, May is the target for a reserve planning, reserve matters planning submission to be submitted. That again will then trigger the opportunity for comments to be received. And then from there, if all goes well, we'll probably be looking at planning committee in October before a start on site early next year, if all goes well. Well, thank you for your time and I welcome any questions. Thank you, Chair. Are you happy if I run through some questions? Do you have some questions, I think, in the chat? Yes, we do, Chair. Shall I run through those quickly? Yes, please. Yes, please. So there's a couple of questions about the impact of the proposed relocation of the waste water treatment works, and I think if it's OK, we'll return to those either at the end of the meeting or afterwards, as I think there's some other questions in that regard. A quick one about tenure, will the housing be tenure blind, Henry? Apologies, I should have mentioned that, and I appreciate Gary picked this up on his previous presentation, but yeah, absolutely. We take a very similar approach, tenure blind houses and apartments suitably positioned around the scheme so that they're all clustered in one area because similar to what Gary was saying, it's really key that you develop mixed communities here and avoid segregation. So yeah, they will be tenure blind. OK, thank you. And can you comment at all on any anticipated traffic impacts congestion, how that will be managed and how it will be merging with the existing community at all? Sorry, Chris, can you repeat the question? Yeah, sorry, it's just a question around traffic congestion and how that will be managed if you could perhaps talk about some of the features of the transport plan, for example. So I wouldn't confess to being that knowledgeable of the transport plans being put in place at previously, but obviously the appropriate assessments have been carried out at outline stage for the scheme and the required information has been submitted during each of the reserve matters applications. But obviously the scheme itself provides strong connectivity into the city. As I mentioned earlier, we've got a very good cycle and new cycle route through the scheme. We've got park and ride to these and scheme as well. So I think that's all been assessed appropriately in the applications, but in terms of the specifics of the travel plan, I'd have to take that and come back to that and give them a proper answer on that. That's fine, Henry. We've got some county colleagues who perhaps if we want to return to it later, we can ask them to comment on that a bit later on. OK. Finally, just a question of building heights, perhaps more one for the local authority councillors and officers, perhaps, whether there's any comment to make on comparing the building heights of the two schemes you've heard about so far. Just from a planning officer's perspective, obviously the context of the individual sites is quite different. Mali being a planned urban extension to Cambridge and obviously it will have a different character and context to that of Ida Darwin in full born. So that would certainly be my view. I don't know, Councillor Daunton, whether you'd want to add anything to that. Yes, thank you. I think absolutely that's right. I think you have to take each site in its own context. And clearly there are different approaches to site into the heights in Mali from the approach to height in Ida Darwin, given their local context. And that would be fully true of other sites that planners would be looking at. I think I'd add to that as well in terms of Mali. It's quite a unique site in itself being the proximity to the airport. So that in itself has governed the heights of buildings here as well, which the parameter plans for this scheme established. Chris, I think we've got time for just two more questions and then we have to move on. A question for Chris Flood, perhaps, if Mars was cutting back on staff because of military cutbacks, is there a need for so many residences? Chris, I don't know if you want to comment on that or otherwise I'm happy to. Yeah, thank you, Chris. Yeah, I think I'd have to take that one away. I'm obviously not part of the aerospace and defence business, so with regards that question I'd take that away if I may. Yeah, that's fine. Thanks, Chris. Chris, the answer to Margaret Starkey's question on direct, no direct access to high Detroit, I think that's correct, isn't it still, Henry? Yeah, sorry, I have vehicle access, that's correct. Have we got time just for one more, the answer to the car parking allocation? Yes, so final question, how much car parking allocation is there on the site and how will any excess cars on site be managed? I have to check the numbers we are providing for here because I think that the targets, obviously the standards are set out that we would always try to adhere to. I think from memory on the apartments, we're just about one for one on those units and the houses generally I think from memory will have a couple of spaces at least. In terms of excess parking, I have come back to you in terms of what our approach is on phase one for that, whether you know we've got a particular process in place. So if that's okay, I'll come back on that one. Finally, the question from Francis Amrani about broadband. Yes, has additional broadband provision been taken into account? Yes, yes, it's a big thing for all of our schemes now in terms of ensuring that customers can also move in and be instantly connected to broadband, so yeah, all of that has been factored into these proposals with the relevant providers. Thank you. Okay. Well, thank you very much, Chris and Henry for the presentation and for answering all those questions. Now I think given how much we want to cover tonight we need to move on to the next site.
