PRP was appointed as masterplanner, architect, stakeholder and community specialist, and landscape architect for the design and development of a Strategic Framework, Outline Planning Application, and Design Code. The ambition was to deliver a new vibrant mixed-use, intergenerational, and sustainable community including up to 1,500 homes, a community hub, two schools, later living accommodation, employment areas, sports facilities, and extensive areas of open space – all set within a unique natural context.

The new community will enable every household to ‘live by the green’ and enjoy healthy lifestyles in a high-quality built environment and close to high-quality green space. Our design championed landscape-oriented approach that will provide a variety of green spaces while protecting existing natural features of high ecological and landscape value, embedding them as guidelines for the development. An accessible ‘trim trail’ for pedestrians and cyclists will help ensure open spaces are available to all, while respecting the high-quality rural location.
