Land South of Green Lane, Chesterton

Open Space & Landscaping 

The development proposals incorporates a new area of parkland, within the eastern field. This will include new football pitches, alongside new walking routes, a play area and other open spaces for people to enjoy. New football pitches are proposed, in order that the village residents and the local football team, have access to a sporting facility which is free to use.

Below, the project team have designed three potential options for the layout of these new facilities and open space.

Extensive landscaping is envisaged throughout the scheme and existing hedgerows and trees along the sites boundaries will be retained and strengthened with new planting. The location of the proposed parkland and the inclusion of buffers within the design, will reduce the impact on existing residents.

The new homes, will be arranged around green corridors, swales and tree-lined streets. This will break-up the blocks of new development and ensure a lower level of density, which is sympathetic to the character of the village.

The images below provide examples of this.

Landscaped Lanes

Meadow Walks

Perimeter Tree Planting and New Woodland

Landscaped Lanes

The Lanes will have a more rural and intimate character with low level planting and stone garden walls which end with a south facing view onto the meadow walks or woodland.

Meadow Walks

The Meadow Walks are linear green parks between the lanes of housing which will provide biodiversity opportunities and a visual break between smaller areas of housing to reflect the more rural village setting.

Perimeter Tree Screening

The existing lines of trees to Green Lane and the western corner of the site will be reinforced with further mature trees which will provide a natural screen to the development on approach to the village from the west.

New Woodland

A new area of woodland is proposed at the southern edge of the site which is intended to provide a soft boundary and limit between the development and the village of Chesterton. This will also provide a noise pollution buffer from the village to the nearby M40 and A41.
