The proposal

The scheme offers a mix of one to four bedroom homes, including 10 affordable homes. The existing trees and hedges are kept to form a green edge around the development. A large new public open space on the neighbouring field gives residents and villagers walking routes, a children’s play area and a woodland picnic spot under the existing mature trees. Over 30 new trees will be planted across the open space, streets and gardens.
