Over the past several months, we have been working closely with a wide range of specialist consultants and Council officers to properly understand the opportunities and constraints of the site. This has included detailed work on drainage, ecology, landscape, highways, biodiversity and nutrient neutrality, alongside ongoing discussions with the local planning authority and other stakeholders. The findings from this work have directly influenced the emerging proposals, with changes being made to respond to technical advice and ensure the development can be delivered in a responsible and sustainable way.

 

We have taken a careful, step-by-step approach because we want to get the fundamentals right from the outset. Rather than rushing to submit an application, we have invested time and resources into understanding the site, refining the design and addressing potential issues early.
