FPCR supported Hourigan Connolly Planning in their representations to the current Cotswold District Council Development Strategy and Site Allocations Consultation (January 2015) for the allocation of five development sites at Down Ampney. The practice produced a Vision Document which analysed the landscape and visual character of Down Ampney and recommended a sustainable development strategy for the village over the forthcoming plan period. The outcome of this appraisal was driven by the assessed environmental capacity of the settlement form and its countryside setting, taking into account potential constraints such as heritage and biodiversity. A village-wide masterplan was prepared, to demonstrate how up to 245 dwellings, 530sqm of office space and Green infrastructure (including allotments) could be sensitively assimilated into the Cotswolds village, across 5 separate sites.
