Richborough sold 17 acres of land off Daly Avenue in the village of Hampton Magna, Warwick District to Bellway.

The site had secured an allocation for around 115 new homes in the adopted Warwick District Local Plan, and we submitted an outline planning permission for up to 147 homes.

In 2019 we received planning consent for 131 homes, 40 per cent of which will be affordable, as well as 4 acres of green infrastructure including open space, allotments and a children’s play area.

The site is well-connected with Warwick Parkway Railway Station, bus stops and J15 of the M40 nearby. The landscape-led design gives significant focus to open spaces and green boulevards, ensuring a ‘soft edge’ to the development and one that aligns with the existing settlement.

The Hampton Trove site is now fully sold.

Following in-depth pre-application engagement, including two public exhibitions and a Design Review Panel as well as extensive collaboration with local stakeholders. We were able to remove the former greenbelt allocation and shape a sensitive and sustainable masterplan. Planning was achieved for:

• Up to 550 new homes (including affordable housing)
• A 60-bed care home
• Allotments, children’s play areas, a community car park, and significant public open space
• Over 16 hectares of Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace (SANG)

Site Context
The site lies adjacent to existing development to the south and borders the River Stour to the north. It’s uniquely positioned between two Conservation Areas – Canford Magna and Oakley Lane – and is traversed by the historic carriage drive of Grade I-listed Canford School. The site also contains listed buildings, Lady Wimborne Cottages, and a number of Tree Preservation Orders, with parts of the SANG located within a floodplain.

Masterplan Highlights
Our illustrative masterplan responded to the site’s constraints and opportunities with:

• Four distinct character areas, influenced by the local Dorset vernacular
• Integration of existing landscape features to create strong green infrastructure and heritage buffers
• A robust, adaptable framework to guide detailed design through the Reserved Matters stage
