Riverside
Area
This area lies just outside the flood plain to the east of Vicarage
Lane.
Development already extends along the river bank south of Gladedale’s
Riverside Area land, and consequently we believe that this area can
justifiably be regarded as ‘infill’ land and therefore has
a good chance of gaining planning consent.
We propose 3 dwellings that will take full advantage of the riverside
location and which will be designed sympathetically to the immediate
environment using the most modern of building standards.

Barns
Area
This area currently features a small collection of existing storage
buildings and again we are firmly of the opinion that the development
of this property is supportable in planning terms, being already developed.
The 2 dwellings proposed for this area takes the spirit of the existing
buildings and adopt a ‘barn-style’ design flavour.

West
Area (Village)
The proposal for the West Area features 7 dwellings arranged around
the new access street built off the Reading Road. Extensive work has
been carried out to ensure this access road is as sympathetic to its
immediate surroundings as possible.
The 4 units sited north of the new road are referred to as the ‘Village
Houses’. These incorporate a style and design features taken
from the typical High Street dwelling. They intend to blend in with
designs typically seen to the adjoining buildings along the high street.
The Village Houses will be smaller than all of the other houses proposed,
being compact 2 or 3 bedroom homes aimed at those who do not want
or cannot afford the larger dwellings. By being smaller these units
will be available at a much lower price than the other homes. The
decision to include these smaller units was prompted by comments received
during the consultation exercise that new housing schemes in the area
always cater for the high-value ‘executive’ market and fail
to provide smaller more affordable homes for local people, first-time
buyers and elderly couples seeking more manageable accommodation.

North
Area
One of Streatley’s most prominent and characteristic features
is the expanse of land running from the northern side of the High
Street toward the Wallingford Road. It is a defining feature of the
village and rarely would you see the countryside impose itself in
such a way on a rural settlement.
We are promoting NO DEVELOPMENT on this site and propose to include
all of the land in the package we intend to donate to the Parish.
