This 72 hectare site is being developed as a mixed-use
sustainable community
It is being jointly promoted by English Partnerships and
Bournville Village Trust.
The site is being developed in the spirit of Birmingham's
Bournville Village, a world famous example of an urban community
created by George Cadbury, founder of the Bournville Village
Trust.
Outline Planning permission has been granted for up to eight
hundred homes and a mixed use village centre which will include
local shops, a family pub/restaurant, a primary school and
permanent BVT office. A community centre will provide indoor
recreation facilities, healthcare, multi faith worship, indoor
sports and community management offices.
The site is being marketed in phases. Detailed planning
applications are submitted in accordance with the principles
established through the master-planning process. The master plan
was produced by Tibbalds TM2 on behalf of the Partners.
The first phase of 40 dwellings called the Laurels has been
constructed by Persimmon Homes. The second phase of 108 dwellings
called Oakham Manor is under construction by George Wimpey.
Crest Nicholson (Midlands) have recently been selected to construct
the village centre, including a further 222 dwellings.
