This Land secures planning for ‘landscape-led’ housing scheme

This Land has secured reserved matters planning permission for Coppice Park, a scheme that features clusters of homes set in a landscape-led community in Brampton, Cambridgeshire.

The site will comprise 30 dwellings – 18 private dwellings and 12 affordable homes.

Designed by architects Chadwick Dryer Clarke Studio and landscape architects Farrer Huxley, the scheme adopts a concept of a community-centred housing model, which promotes high quality landscaping in a low traffic volume environment.

“We are delighted to receive the support of Huntingdonshire District Council for this initial phase of the Coppice Park development,” said David Lewis, Chief Executive Officer of This Land. “Working with local architects, these new homes will be defined by their architectural design and landscaping. Each house will have their own identity and deliver all that is best in a modern home, along with green spaces, to ensure Coppice Park is a unique community designed for future generations.”

The design of the development moves away from the traditional estate style layout of terraced and semi-detached homes to create a landscape-led community. The new homes are laid out in a cluster design so that each home is arranged with an immediate connection to the surrounding landscape, whilst maintaining privacy.

A mixed palette of cladding and roof materials, including clay tiles, facing brick, engineered bricks, standing seam metal and fibre cement cladding, will add further interest and variety to the development.
