The intention here is for the proposed development parcels to respond to the field and hedgerow patterns of the existing landscape, with additional new green infrastructure – ponds, meadows, woodlands and scattered tree planting – breaking the development down into a finer grain network of streets within a parkland setting.

 

Two vehicle access points are proposed to this development from Banwell Road – one onto the existing Banwell Road / Cedern Avenue roundabout, and another further to the west near Elborough Farm.  Several additional five pedestrian / cycle access points are also proposed, including the retention of the existing Public Right of Way through the western part of the site.

 

A new mixed-use building is also proposed, offering flexible space for a shop and / or community uses.  This building could provide a useful ‘hub’ that Elborough currently lacks, for the benefit of current residents as well as new ones.
