Landscape Design

The landscape at Aylesbury Estate sets out a series of connected neighbourhoods around a network of open spaces, with green links to the recently enhanced Burgess Park. HTA Landscape team designed integrated pocket parks throughout the masterplan, which offer a range of planting, play space and seating areas. In addition, the First Development Site sees the delivery of two key pieces of the new public realm, Westmoreland Park and Westmoreland Square. Westmoreland Park provides play for 5–11-year-olds within proximity of their homes whilst Westmoreland Square offers an opportunity to pause and rest.

The new public realm elements are not just additions to the landscape, but they also bring significant benefits to the community. The system of new green streets with retained trees, along with a substantial number of new trees, enhances the aesthetic appeal of the area and contributes to a healthier environment. The communal resident gardens provide more secluded recreational spaces, promoting a sense of community and well-being among the residents.
