  2. Sustainable Cupar • We are a SCIO (Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation) with 74 members and 10 trustees. We have the following sub-groups: • FAB (Fruit and Blossom) • Transport • Energy • Book club • Cupar North sustainablecupar.org.uk

  3. Cupar North • A large area has been allocated for development in the Local Development Plan (LDP): • 1,400 houses • Industrial park • Primary school • Amenity space • Relief road • Strategic Development Area (SDA) sustainablecupar.org.uk

  4. Master Plan • Before work starts a master plan must be produced showing how people, work, and the environment are integrated in a sustainable way: • Road network • Path network • Public transport • Access for recycling, emergency services, etc. • Zones (housing, industrial, schooling, recreation) • Produced by development consortium (not Fife Council) sustainablecupar.org.uk

  5. Possible negative impacts • Potential pressure on existing infrastructure and services including: • Education • Roads • Public transport • Drainage, sewerage and flood protection • Hospital and sheltered housing • Possible loss of business due to relief road sustainablecupar.org.uk

  6. Possible positive impacts • Potential benefits: • Less through traffic when relief road completed • More customers for existing businesses • Job creation in new retail outlets and school • Carbon efficiency via integrated and retrofitted heat network • Reduction in per capita carbon footprint • Exemplar of sustainable living sustainablecupar.org.uk

  7. Sustainable Cupar proposal • A sustainable development (a statutory requirement), based on 'Village homes' and others. Key points: • Double sided housing • Greenways • Housing orientation • Narrow streets, shared space, filtered permeability • Natural drainage • Edible landscaping • Amenity space sustainablecupar.org.uk

  8. Sustainable transport • A comprehensive and safe path network to encourage community spirit: • Discourage car use by providing indirect route into town • Minimal shared surface for vehicles • Shared front garden space for safe path network • Shared amenity space and safe play areas sustainablecupar.org.uk

  9. Green arterial path • A continuous, safe path around the existing town must be built before any other development. • For traversing Cupar North • For access into town centre Red dotted line is arterial path sustainablecupar.org.uk

  10. Relief road and existing infrastructure • Relief road must be used for all new development access. Must have safe links into the town. • Radial roads terminated: • at the arterial path (greenway) • near the centre of town • Existing streets: • one way • shared space • wider pavements/cycle paths sustainablecupar.org.uk

  11. House layout • Houses have access from the front and the back: • Houses front on to path network (Greenway) • Private gardens and off street car parking at the rear • Mixed tenure (affordable/social/private housing intermixed) sustainablecupar.org.uk

  12. Estate layout • Filtered permeability for pedestrians, cyclists and mobility scooters: • Separate path network • Shared space cul-de-sacs. • Greenways Interlaced with Cul-de-sacs (GIC) sustainablecupar.org.uk

  13. GIC example http://www.greenwayneighborhoods.net sustainablecupar.org.uk

  14. Super Efficient Buildings • Passive House as standard (heating demand 15kWh/m2/a) • South orientation default for solar access • On district heat network • Appropriate shading to prevent overheating • http://vimeo.com/74294955 sustainablecupar.org.uk

  17. Cupar Heat Network • Cupar’s own Heating + Cooling Network • Anaerobic Digestion plant • Solar powered heat pump on sewer (integrated solar PV on roofs) • Inter-seasonal heat store (sugar beet silo or underground) • Biomas (Elmwood), fossil fuel (Bell Baxter for peak loads) • Synergy Environ – Feasibility Study sustainablecupar.org.uk

  18. Anaerobic Digester Economic Benefit: • cheap low carbon heat and cool • organic matter disposal (Food waste regulations tightening, distillers/ brewers/ any business with organic waste) • prolonged growing season • chilling facility • job creation sustainablecupar.org.uk

  19. Green spaces, drainage • SUDS and Flood protection: • Narrow streets – minimise non permeable surface area • Greenways – open planted swales, edible landscape • Rain water harvesting sustainablecupar.org.uk

  20. Public transport • It is vital that everyone has easy access to public transport: • Path network to access buses • Regular bus service to town centre, railway station and industrial park sustainablecupar.org.uk

  21. Sustainable economics • Cupar North will take many years to complete: • Phasing of development • Funding of infrastructure (arterial path and relief road) • Environmental management • Attracting new business sustainablecupar.org.uk

  22. Engagement with developers • Cupar must have its say: • Development consortium will draw up master plan • Community need to engage with the developers • Important that we present a united front sustainablecupar.org.uk
