Land East of Swindon Road, Wroughton

Our proposals will incorporate more than 5 hectares of public open space, including LEAP (Local Equipped Area for Play) and NEAP (Neighbourhood Equipped Area for Play), spread throughout the site. This will ensure that both current and future residents have access to space for sports, play and recreational activity within easy walking distance.

In addition to more conventional open space, our proposals will also offer a 7.63 hectare “Eco-park” which will serve a variety of purposes:

1. Providing a natural area for new and existing residents to walk in and explore, connecting the two sections of the site.

2. Shielding the new homes from the North Wessex Downs National Landscape (previously known as AONB)

3. Achieving a large Biodiversity Net Gain of at least 10%

4. Help to mitigate and manage any potential surface water concerns.

In addition the site will be shielded, both visually and acoustically, from the nearby M4 by a landscaped “bund” with hedging or trees planted on top.
