Our Proposals
Landscaping is at the heart of the masterplanning exercise. Due to the topography of the site, we have employed an approach to create landscape ‘layers’ running east-west through the development down towards the lowest point adjacent to the River Arrow, where the expansive Ryelands Park and River Arrow Park are proposed.
​
The spine road runs through the centre of site allowing vehicular movements across the site, in addition to the extensive network of ‘active travel routes’ to support sustainable travel. The Local Centre and School will be positioned to the west in proximity to the existing Morrison’s supermarket and other services, and the community hub will be in a more central location.
What is the Local Centre?
The relevant policy requires a supermarket and other “small scale retail facilities”. It is proposed that planning permission will be sought for flexible retail uses including a small supermarket A café, take away, bakery, convenience store, clothing store etc. could all be possible options.
What is the Community Hub?
This will be a space or spaces suitable for hosting community activities such as a meeting venue, hall for hire for groups, clubs etc. and so on. It is subject for discussion with the Local Planning Authority, and we would be delighted to hear your thoughts as to what format it might take.
Tell me about the new school?
The new school will be a two-form entry primary school. The developers will be providing the land for the school and will work with the Local Planning Authority on our phasing plan to ensure it is ready for when there is enough demand arising as new residents move in. The exact timetable for opening and allocation of places will be determined by the Local Education Authority.
