The application sets out a landscape-led approach and prioritises integration with the natural environment, while enhancing the site’s overall quality.In addition, Barratt Homes has submitted a detailed application on part of the site to substitute the previously approved Springfield house types for those from its own Barratt and David Wilson range.Similar to the Springfield application, the Barratt proposal maintains all key elements from the original planning permission in terms of location of open space, spine road routes and housing parcel locations.A network of open and accessible streets has been designed to optimise connectivity throughout the development.

Key features include a split between the built development and preserved open spaces.If approved, the development will feature landscaped streets,
