design statements
This statement outlines the basis upon which the overall concept for Hunts Grove has been prepared. The document demonstrates Crest Nicholson’s commitment to create a development that will set the standard for years to come.
For many years new developments have taken place without any consideration for their long-term future, lacking an integrated approach that is essential for successful design. Hunts Grove is to be based on sustainable principles that take into account future generations.
These principles include:
- Reduced car dependence by facilitating new opportunities
- New opportunities for travel
- A mixed-use development closely integrated with surrounding land uses
- A greener residential environment
- A greater emphasis on quality living places for people
- A high quality residential environment with average net densities of between 35–50 houses per hectare
- A comprehensive range of social and leisure services
- New housing near to major employment areas.
