Detached) and 120 no. Three-bed two storey houses (111 no. Semi-detached and 9 no. Mid-terraced); and a two-storey childcare facility (305.8sqm gross floor area). The proposed development will also consist of: the provision of car parking spaces; vehicular and pedestrian access and egress via the nurney road, with associated works to the nurney road to include a right-hand turning lane, pedestrian crossing, traffic calming, alterations to existing footpaths and verges, and provision of cycle paths; provision of internal routes for vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians; sustainable urban drainage systems; provision of pumping station including ancillary associated infrastructure; piped services and drainage; renewable energy facilities (solar panels); associated signage; hard and soft landscaping works including lighting and boundary treatments; and infrastructural and site excavation and development works above and below ground. The development also consists of an increase of ground levels at the site by up to c. 1.9m. The increase in ground levels will be facilitated through the importation of approximately 100,000m3 of infill material. For the avoidance of doubt, the imported infill material required to alter the ground levels will not be a waste as defined by the waste management act 1996 (as amended)
