The emerging proposals include:

​

• Up to 180 homes, with 30% affordable housing provision.;

​​

• Potential for an element of bungalow development, reflecting the aspirations of the emerging Neighbourhood Plan.;

​

• A central village green and public open space, designed as a focal point for both  existing and future residents. ;

​

• A new community facility with car parking, providing a valuable space for local groups, activities and events.;

​

• A new children’s incidental play area broadly located next to the community facility;

​

• Restoration of a historic tree-lined avenue and retention of key landscape features.;

​

• Strong pedestrian and cycle links, including connections into Clifton upon Dunsmore and the wider network.;

 

• A comprehensive landscape-led approach delivering a biodiversity net gain.;

 

• A primary vehicular access from Lilbourne Road and an emergency-only access from Hillmorton Lane.

 

The design approach responds sensitively to the Site’s heritage and landscape setting, including Clifton Conservation Area and The Old Hall.
