Landscape impact in the AONB was a principal concern.
The scheme addressed housing need including the full accommodation range, and social buildings. The proposal is set within significant constraints including the M25 motorway, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Greenbelt, and Listed buildings. This comprehensive proposal addressed environmental, social, infrastructural and heritage issues to produce a balanced series of four neighbourhoods as part of a phased development to sympathetically extend an historic town.
