As well as the Parameter Plans, Masterplan and Design and Access Statement, a proving layout was produced by Bluepencil. This was done by modelling the developers individual housetypes in Revit, attaching the square foot yield (data per house) and plotting on to the illustrative masterplan to create a 3d model with policy compliant garden sizes, back to back distances and parking provision.

The  proposed masterplan was then tested in terms of density and unit numbers. An allowance was made for surface water drainage and SuDS, leaving an accurate net residential development area. This included incidental open space, buffer planting, secondary and tertiary roads. 

Prior to the preparation of the application material Bluepencil produced a Vision Statement setting out the proposed framework for the masterplan.
