22 acre site in the sought-after village of Great Bowden

In 2016  we secured planning permission from Harborough District Council for 50 homes, including 16 affordable, and the creation of a 22 acre country park, play areas and community allotments.

The village lies within a Conservation Area, so we undertook extensive consultation with local residents and key stakeholders to ensure that our proposals were in keeping with the area, whilst also meeting the wider housing demands of the region.

This was was one of the first schemes we supported with outline design coding, which ensured the approved masterplan and design principles were taken through to detailed design and the character of new homes complemented the local vernacular of Great Bowden.

In 2017,  we sold the site to development partner Mulberry Developments Ltd. After securing detailed planning permission, they delivered the Hursley Park development which quickly sold out.

A great deal of thought and care was given to the design of the development to reflect the local character of Newbold-on-Stour and retain natural features such as the woodland, hedgerows and additional trees. The aim was to provide additional housing and much needed affordable homes into the area, as well as provide a dedicated play area for the children and a car park for St David’s Church.

We held a public exhibition on Thursday 16^th October 2014 at Newbold Village Hall.

A planning application was submitted for the development of approximately 137 dwellings including 25% affordable housing  in accordance with Council policy. Proposals included a new vehicular access off the A49 alongside new footpaths and cycle ways connecting through to the adjacent Local Centre on Sheet Road and to Ludlow town centre.

Our masterplan included clusters of housing located within themed landscape areas to respect the landscape and the heritage assets within and adjacent to the site and delivered large areas of public open space to the south of Ludlow.

Following the refusal of an outline planning application for 137 dwellings by Shropshire Council in September 2015, a Public Inquiry was held in August and October 2016. Consequently, our appeal was allowed and outline planning permission was granted on 10^th November 2016 for 137 dwellings. A copy of the appeal decision can be downloaded below.

The site was sold to Crest in December 2017.
