Designing a development that fits in
The project team recognises the importance of ensuring any future development responds positively to the surrounding area. Emerging designs are considering building scale and height, neighbouring properties, existing landscape features, streetscene character, important tree retention, materials, boundary treatments, and high-quality public spaces and landscaping. To help explain our early thinking, we have included an emerging site plan right and a number of hand-drawn concept sketches below, showing how the development could potentially look
The aim is to create a development that feels like a natural extension of the local area.
Community benefits
Our vision is to deliver a thoughtfully designed new neighbourhood that enhances the site and provides lasting benefits for the wider community, including:
✓ Bringing an underused site back into active use;
✓ Delivering new homes for local people;
✓ New landscaping, planting and biodiversity improvements;
✓ Investment in the local area and wider economy;
✓ Contributions towards local infrastructure;
✓ Creating an attractive and sustainable place for future generations.
Highways, Access and Parking
Traffic and parking are often key concerns during consultation exercises. Specialist highways consultants are undertaking detailed assessments of the local road network, including existing traffic conditions, junction capacity, site access, highway safety, parking provision, walking and cycling links, vehicle trip generation, and access to public transport.
The development will be designed in accordance with local and national standards, with appropriate parking provision and opportunities to encourage sustainable travel choices.
The site is in a sustainable location, with a bus stop at the entrance and pedestrian links to the primary school and local amenities in Cheswick Green.
Ecology, Biodiversity, Landscaping and green space
At Angle Property, we are committed to delivering high-quality landscaping that enhances the appearance and character of new developments. The proposals include attractive green spaces, new trees, native planting, landscape buffers, streetscape improvements and wildlife features to support both ecology and wellbeing.
Protecting and enhancing the site’s ecology is a key part of the proposals. Specialist ecological surveys are being undertaken to assess existing habitats, vegetation, trees and any protected species, alongside wider landscape and biodiversity strategies.
Current planning policy requires developments to deliver Biodiversity Net Gain, and early work suggests opportunities exist to enhance biodiversity through carefully designed landscaping and habitat creation. Potential measures may include habitat areas, ecological corridors, wildflower planting, and bird and bat boxes.
Emerging illustrations
To help explain our early thinking, we have included an emerging site plan and a number of hand-drawn concept sketches showing how the development could potentially look. These illustrations have been prepared to help residents understand the broad vision and design direction for the site. Importantly, these are illustrative and remain subject to ongoing design development. They should not be viewed as final designs.
These sketches are intended to demonstrate the type of character, landscape treatment, streets and residential environment that could potentially be created. As the design process progresses and feedback is received, the proposals will continue to evolve.
