The masterplan should: • Respect the buffer zone around Dyson Limited and ensuring this buffer will be designated as a natural boundary; • Show land for public access along the river including a local nature reserve plus foot and cycle paths; • Retain the river meadows and valleys, including the diverted river course, as natural flood zone, for the extension of the existing river walk and footpaths system, and as publicly accessible open space; • Ensure that the existing hedgerows (including trees) will be the natural boundary of the new development. Ensure that as many of the existing hedgerows (including trees) as possible within the site are retained and allow enhancement and replacement where this is not possible; • Support the expansion of the Malmesbury Tennis Club and ensure the expansion is in harmony in both size and build with the development and also the Primary School extension; • Engage with stakeholders to secure the future of adjoining flood-hit facilities: Malmesbury Victoria Football Club, Athelstan Players and Malmesbury Boxing Club possibly through development led relocation. • Maximise the pedestrian permeability in order to improve walkability in the Malmesbury extensions; • Improve pedestrian links to the Dyson Limited site • Ensure that the development will in every way mitigate drainage issues Planning permission will be granted provided the above requirements are met and the development proposal conforms with the principles of the approved masterplan.
