  • Embracing local materials, whilst also being innovative and imaginative in the design of the new homes.

A Walkable Neighbourhood

  • New paths providing safe and attractive routes to public green spaces, surrounding neighbourhoods and countryside.
  • Streets designed to be pedestrian and cycling friendly with generous footpaths and cycling lanes reducing car dominance.

Embracing Biodiversity and the Landscape

  • Utilise the site topography and levels to create a climate adaptive neighbourhood.
  • Integrate mature woodland and landscape to give an attractive setting to new homes.
  • Enhance existing and create new habitat corridors that link across the Site.

A Sustainable Place to Live

  • Provision of appropriately scaled commercial and town centre uses (informed through market demand analysis and WCC discussions)
  • Provide safe and attractive connections between new homes and everyday amenities.
  • Provide high quality, energy efficient homes, designed to promote sustainable heating/cooling and energy capture.
  • Potential for Park and Ride facility is currently being explored.
