Residential development of 271 homes, a care home and public open space, landscaping and associated infrastructure works.
The residential element comprises the development of 271 homes in total, of which, circa 25 % will be affordable. The proposed layout comprises of two distinct character areas, notably the village street/greenway and the neighbourhood core. Generous green corridors have been incorporated as a landscape backbone, enhancing biodiversity whilst ensuring permeability throughout the site and linking with existing green infrastructure opportunities beyond the site boundary.
The proposed Crick Road Care Home is inspired by the 'Australian Butterfly Home' dementia-care model of 4 individual houses of 8 residents each, centred around a secure, dementia-friendly courtyard garden. At the centre of this space sits the village hall, a prominent focal point for residents.
