Our Vision
“A new settlement with a focus on sustainability, providing places to live close to local employment, with beautiful architecture and public spaces, fostering a healthy and connected community.”
Design Principles
The site proposals are underpinned by a series of core design principles. These are embedded within the Concept Masterplan and ensure that any subsequent detailed proposals faithfully deliver the site's vision.
Exemplar Placemaking
Creating a vibrant, sustainable and mixed community based around the ‘15 minute neighbourhood’ masterplanning principles.
Affordable & Accessible
Delivering a masterplan for local people and workers with sustainable transport connections to employment sites.
Landscape-Led Scheme
Collaborative design approach that puts landscape at the fore.
Biodiversity
Enhancing the existing landscape, creating a diverse environment for generations to come.
Sustainability
Sustainability at the core of both the movement and utility strategies.
Connecting Homes to Jobs
The proposed development will play a key role in providing new homes in close proximity to existing employment. Alongside this, promoting active travel through a well-connected network of pedestrian and cycle routes will help promote modal shift, utilising existing routes and providing new ones through the site.
Design Evolution
The evolution of the design has been underpinned by a comprehensive understanding of the site's existing constraints and opportunities. This has ensured that the resulting scheme delivers a well-connected and accessible development, offering a diverse range of uses and generous public open space.
