The vision for the development is to create a sensitive urban-rural transition, creating a place with local identity by delivering homes that complement the architectural richness of the adjacent Pickwick Conservation Area. The development will be fully connected with its immediate context, offering pedestrian linkages to existing community destinations. The scheme is set within a generous landscape framework, that will integrate the proposal into its immediate setting and enhance the principal landscape, ecological and drainage features of the site. 

 

The aim was to craft a place where the natural environment has a presence throughout the Masterplan, retaining mature parkland trees, including a Veteran Tree, within pocket parks dotted throughout. Homes and places of work can become an integrated part of that environment connected by tree lined and wooded walks, landscaped spaces and meadow planting, all seamlessly integrating the development into the wider pedestrian network that stretches north into the open countryside of the Cotswolds National Landscape.
