4 Former Clippens School, Brediland Road, Linwood Development Brief (April 205) Introduction The brief seeks to provide a planning framework for guiding and facilitating the submission of a planning application for the site at the former Clippens School, Brediland Road, Linwood. This is a non-statutory development brief that does not form part of the Renfrewshire Local Development Plan. It should though be read in conjunction with the Renfrewshire Local Development Plan (204). Although the development brief will not be formally adopted by the Council as Supplementary Guidance, it will be considered as part of the framework for the redevelopment of the site. Vision Brownfield sites in urban areas help Renfrewshire deliver sustainable economic growth. This site is identified as providing opportunities for change and supporting investment in the area, helping to regenerate, create and enhance existing places. This site provides an excellent opportunity for new community facilities or uses compatible with the surrounding residential area. It offers an opportunity to add to the existing sustainable mixed community. Development of this site will simply integrate with the surrounding area, adding to the overall character and visual appearance of the area. Local Context Analysis The site lies a short distance to the north and east of Linwood Town Centre and is within easy walking distance of shops, local schools, open space and frequent bus services. It extends to.23 hectares and is located off Brediland Road. The site is square in shape, on relatively level site with the existing buildings and hardstanding still in-situ. Surrounding the site there is a variety of property types, building sizes, heights and massing. The density of the built form surrounding the area also varies with a mix of one and two storey detached, semi-detached and terraced properties. There is therefore no fixed built form advocated for this site and it provides excellent opportunity to design a development that can capture the range and style of buildings in the vicinity of the site. Policy Context Relevant statutory land use policies relating to the built environment are set out in the Renfrewshire Local Development Plan, which can be obtained from the Council s website, Specific policies relating to the site include:- Policy P Renfrewshire Places, which encourages development where there is the continuance of the built form and development which is compatible and complementary to the existing uses; Policy P7 Green Network, the site has the potential to contribute to increasing accessibility in and around this community and place; The development requires to be assessed against the principles, guidance and criteria set out in the New Development Supplementary Guidance.

Development at this site should be designed with consideration of creating a successful place in line with the framework set out in the Renfrewshire Local Development Plan and accompanying New Development Supplementary Guidance. Preferred Development Solution The layout, built form, design, density and materials should be in keeping with the surrounding area; The Council would welcome innovative design solutions to the provision of parking to minimise the visual impact of parked cars, services and street lighting; The development will require to retain and ensure connections to existing walking and cycling routes; It should be demonstrated that adequate provision has been made for all services including water, sewerage, etc; Further Enquiries Further enquiries in respect of this development brief should be directed to: Sharon Marklow Assistant Manager (Policy) Development & Housing Services Renfrewshire Council Renfrewshire House Cotton Street Paisley PA LL Tel: E: Sharon.marklow@renfrewshire.gov.uk
