To support their bid for Phase 8 of the scheme at Oakley Vale, on the south western edge of Corby, we worked with Bellway Homes to prepare a detailed concept layout that demonstrates 270 two, three and four bedroom houses can be fitted on the site while still leaving room for the community facilities secured by the outline planning permission – a village centre that includes the conversion of existing farm buildings, a school, a nursery and a healthcare centre. Following the guidance provided by the design code and an illustrative masterplan, the density of development and street hierarchy were carefully controlled and the scheme was required to deliver five character areas. The information submitted to support the bid included the concept layout, details of features within the layout and CGI views of the streets.
