Design Evolution
Our emerging Illustrative Masterplan seeks to take account of all these constraints and opportunities, to deliver a new neighbourhood which is sustainable and inclusive.
​
Our proposals have been developed over the past 12 months or so, taking our starting point as the key constraints and opportunities effecting the site. These include:
Constraints
​​​
-
Listed buildings.
-
Amenity of existing dwellings closeby.
-
Existing landscape and ecological assets such as tree and hedgerows.
-
Public footpaths.
-
Localised areas of flood risk.
Opportunities
​
-
Views south from the northern slopes.
-
Existing lanes and public rights of way present opportunities for improved connectivity.
-
Large site capable of accommodating significant open space for public benefit as well as new homes and infrastructure.
-
Ecological enhancement opportunities through the creation of new and enhanced habitats.
