About the site
The proposed site lies north of Rigdale Close, Langmore Close, Chilton Close, Billington Close and Speedwell Crescent. It is to the west of Doidges Farm Close and to the south of land also in the ownership of Eggbuckland Community College.
The land currently takes the form of private fields and some woodland, particularly on the far eastern corner. There is existing housing along the southern boundary and some housing along part of the eastern boundary of the site, with the boundaries populated by trees and hedges.

We are planning to create proper access points to the planned open space. This would also improve access to the College from nearby residential streets and would encourage walking and cycling. Our proposals include pathways to link the proposed site to Eggbuckland Vale Primary School. Vehicle access to the site would be via Westcott Close.
The site contains existing hedgerows and mature trees which need to be retained as much as possible. These constrain some aspects of development through their root protection areas and shading.
As the proposed site is on a south-facing slope, we have designed the orientation of the homes to maximise energy efficiency.
