2.0 Site Assessment
The proposal for a development on the Holcot Site, follows on from an extensive site selection
study that examined a number of sites within the Moulton College Campus. The proposed site was
selected as the most viable option for development. For further details please refer to Planning
Report.
Located on the Holcot Site and equidistant to the facilities on the Main Site and Pitsford Site, this
site is currently occupied by student amenity study areas, an area for horticultural practice and by
part of an animal husbandry enclosure. The site is partly enclosed by fencing as well as a young
hedgerow and a line of young immature trees and sapplings. To the North of this enclosure the
remainder of the site is a cultivated area of meadow/ grassland currently kept and maintained by
the College.
The site slopes significantly east to west with an overall fall of around 9 meters between bounda-
ries as well as sloping more gently towards the valley to the south.
2.2 Consultations
This project has been developed in close consultation with the College, in order to ensure that it
meets their aspirations for a high quality new student residence. Consultations were held with staff,
student representatives, maintenance personnel and landscape teams promoting ownership of the
project by the wider College community.
The proposed development was also presented to the Moulton Village Parish Council, on the 14th
of November 2012, who were generally supportive of the intentions of the scheme, but who ex-
pressed that the new proposals should be in keeping with the material palette of the existing site
and should not exceed the heights and scale of the buildings currently on the Holcot Site – with
special reference to the South facing Existing Teaching block. They also noted that any develop-
ment in this area should consider its proximity to the conservation area and should ensure that
the neighbouring residential areas, along the Holcot Road, would not be affected by light pollution.
These comments have been carefully considered by the design team in the development of the de-
sign and are reflected in the proposals forming this application.

Access to the site is currently achieved via three gates from the adjoining car park within the col- 2.3 Archaeological Approach

this is the bulk of the Holcot Site development with the garden centre and veterinary surgery being
the nearest neighbouring uses. A recently constructed teaching block sits just off the south western
corner of the site. Adjoining this is the college arboretum which also forms an important part of the
setting of the site.

Beyond the eastern boundary is a valley running north/ south which joins to the conservation area
protected valley to the south of the site. There are good views of the College Main Site and a
strong visual connection to its facilities across this valley, which helps to make the site feel more
connected. The Animal Husbandry area within the site forms only a part of the overall provision
and the rest of this use currently extends to the south, connecting to an existing footbridge, beyond
the proposed boundary (and is currently defined by an existing fence).

 3.0 Design Approach
Integral to the design of the current scheme, is the desire that the proposed buildings will not only
fit in with the surrounding landscape and context, but also create and promote a domestic scale
and feel for both residents and neighbours.

Moulton College Student Residences- Design and Acess Statement

 3.3 Scale
In order to naturally integrate the buildings into the sloping site, it is proposed that the each pair of
two new buildings is set at different terracing levels. This creates a variety of scale throughout the
project and assists with ensuring that the whole of the development is set well below the ridge level
of the existing teaching block adjoining the south western corner of the site. The existing teaching
block has a ridge height of +112.20 (datum level), and the maximum ridge height proposed (ridge
height varies between different building) for the new development is set at +111.20, which is still 1
metre below that of the teaching block.

The buildings are consciously domestic in scale and the proposal is split into a number of separate
elements in order to avoid large continuous blocks of development. This not only better suits the
setting of the scheme in its semi-rural context but it also improves the experience of the students
living in the clusters as they are more distinct.

Each building contains 4 flat-lets (clusters of rooms) with the number of rooms in each varying be-
tween 6 and 7 student bedrooms to one welfare area which comprises a kitchen and dining room.

Another feature of the buildings is the intentional set backs and change of eaves height which
occur throughout the scheme. This feature, at access level, marks the entrances to the different
buildings and at roof level assist with drawing in light and ventilation creating a varied and distinc-
tive roofscape. The feature also helps to further integrate the buildings into their context and re-
lates the proposed not only to the existing adjoining teaching block, but also generally to the ver-
Bird’s eye view of new Student Residences nacular architecture of the nearby village

3.4 Appearance
The materials palette for this proposal is deliberately restrained and simple. A buff clay facing brick
is proposed for the majority of external, and internal walls, whilst the roof will be covered in a natu-
ral slate product in keeping with the appearance of the buildings both on the College Campus, and
the wider village and the conservation area.

The roof profile is a combination of two mono pitches, which allow for ventilation and lighting to the
internal corridors and entrance space of each block. For the windows we are proposing to use high
quality timber/aluminium composite window assemblies, with an external grey polyester powder
coated finish. The same colour and finish is proposed for the small areas of Aluminium rainscreen

which clad the setbacks of each building.

The warmth and subtle composition of the brickwork bands, alternating between stretcher between
window openings, and soldier coursing above and below window heads and sills, together with the
natural tones of the slate roof, and the exposed gutter detail will result in a well-crafted building that
reflects its location within a college campus whilst also sitting comfortably within the wider context.

The main entrance to each building is marked by a small canopy and these along with the main
entrance doors will be coloured to help distinguish between the buildings. Discrete signage for the
names/number of buildings and landscape will follow the current practice on the existing College
campus.

4.0 Inclusive Access
All buildings are designed to be fully accessible to ambulant and wheelchair users. All entrances
and fire escapes will incorporate flush thresholds, which will comply with relevant Building regula-
tions Part M and Statutory guidance to ensure compliance with DDA, and the Equality Act.

The central landscaped area has been planned to ensure access for wheelchair users, and all
buildings will be fitted with a disabled access lift. Of the 152 student bedrooms provided 8 of them
will be fitted out with accessible WCs, with two of the flat-lets already fitted with an accessible
kitchen, whilst the others can be easily retrofitted if required. The accessible student bedrooms are
distributed between ground floor and first floor, further promoting equality

5.0 Landscape
Integral to the identity and development of the project is a strong landscape scheme, which will be
in keeping Moulton College’s reputation for delivering high quality educational environments.
5.1 Landscape Assessment
Prepared by Farrer Huxley Associates- Landscape Architects
The proposed development sits on the South East corner of the Holcot Site cluster of buildings.
The site is on sloping ground forming the upper edge to a stream valley. The building massing and
associated landscaping respond to the slope through stepping and will screen the existing large
campus car park from distant views. The proposal completes the open corner to the existing cam-
pus buildings.
The views to the North are across grassland to woodland.
The views to the East are over the stream to woodland on the opposite side of the valley.
The views South toward Moulton village are screened effectively by the Millennium arboretum
which in future will make the development almost completely concealed in summer, with limited
winter views only.
The conservation area of Moulton to the south is not adversely impacted by the development. A
key view within the conversation area, identified in the Moulton Conservation Area Appraisal and
Design Guide, is the panorama from the Church yard of St Peter and St Paul. Currently there is
only a very limited view of the Holcot Site in general. The new development, being deliberately
restricted in height, will not impact on this view.
The soft planting and additional trees to the landscape on the South and East sides will continue
the arboretum around the campus and contribute to the tree lined valley edge character of the local
area.

6.0 Sustainability
Although no BREEAM targets were required or set for this project, promoting sustainability, ensur-
ing energy efficiency and a closer relationship to nature is an important part of Moulton College
philosophy, and has been reflected in the approach to the this project.
The buildings will be highly insulated and the scheme relies generally on a natural ventilation strat-
egy (with forced extract ventilation only to the bathrooms and in kitchens). A low temperature water
heating system and an appropriate degree of solar control glazing will ensure thermal comfort dur-
ing the whole year.
The use of further ‘green technology’ is of pedagogical interest to the College and the project
will also incorporate solar thermal panels for the production of hot water to the south facing roof
slopes, and the East and West slopes of the development will be fitted with Solar Photovoltaic pan-
els (more suited for this type of orientation than the Solar Thermal variety).
The project also proposes a rainwater harvesting scheme which is intended to be used to main-
tain the outdoors student amenity areas. A soakaway is proposed to deal with storm water as the
infiltration rate of soil present is conducive to this approach. Further information about the drainage
can be found in the Drainage Strategy.
The College places great importance in supporting biodiversity, as exemplified elsewhere on the
Campus and it is expected that the current Landscape proposal, will create opportunities for new
animal and plant species to take their place in an already rich environment.
The choice of natural palette of materials also reflects these same preoccupations, with energy
savings and the environment.
7.0 Vehicular Access and Transport Links
A detailed Transport Statement and Travel Plan have been prepared and also accompany this De-
sign and Access Statement and the full planning application.
7.1. Parking
In line with advice with planning guidance, the parking requirement and provision for this site has
been set at 20 new parking spaces located within a new dedicated parking area. An extra 2 acces-
sible parking bays are located closer to the new buildings.
Access to the student car park is planned as open to resident students, and the dedicated parking
zone for staff will be maintained by means of relocating the existing barrier and access cards.
7.2. Moulton College Transport Strategy
The College already relies on a bus system to transport students around the different sites on
Campus which will also cater for the new development.
Creating the new student accommodation within the campus will reduce the need for the use of
cars day to day by students travelling to and from the college and thus will assist with the reduction
of traffic on campus and affecting Moulton village.
The New Student Residences will also be connected to an existing network of pedestrian paths,
linking to other parts of the Campus, which will be complemented by the addition of the new foot-
path already described above.
