Landscape Design

The landscape strategy creates a series of connected green spaces, tying the development into its unique woodland setting. A new north-south green link draws the Ancient Woodland into the site, extending existing footpath networks and creating informal play spaces that encourage interaction with nature.

Planting is designed to enhance biodiversity, incorporating native species and ecological buffers that protect the woodland edge and railway corridor. Streets are pedestrian-friendly, with carefully considered planting and surface materials that create a welcoming, traffic-calmed environment. The public realm blends larger communal areas with smaller domestic-scale gardens and courtyards, supporting a range of social and recreational uses. The result is a landscape that enriches the daily lives of residents while strengthening the ecological value of this important site.
