We worked with the trustees of two landowning families, both of whom were members of the local community, delivering a quality place that would leave an enduring, positive legacy.

Our objective was to secure a deliverable planning permission for a new neighbourhood that complemented the existing settlement and providing enhanced community facilities and amenities unlocking the delivery of the strategic highway to alleviate a congestion problem in Wantage town centre.
Our approach focused on designing a masterplan to ensure the development would provide a sense of place strongly connected to the existing community of Wantage.
The planning permission consisted of 1,500 homes, a two-form entry primary school, local centre providing retail outlets, community hall, care home, community orchard, 100 acres of recreational and informal open space and a strategic link road.
The sale of the development was structured to retain an ongoing interest in the development through an agreement with the purchaser, St Modwen Developments who have delivered the scheme in accordance with the robust masterplan that we set in planning.
