Challenge
SLR acted as overall design coordinators on a sustainable, mixed use urban extension in south east Aylesbury.
The scheme will provide up to 3,000 dwellings; land for a Park & Ride; employment land; a new dual carriageway (the Southern Link Road); two primary schools; a mixed use local centre; multi-functional green infrastructure; and strategic flood defence provision.
Solution
SLR provided extensive experience in designing urban extensions, demonstrating a landscape-led approach that delivered both practical masterplanning and creativity.
SLR also designed the majority of open spaces which included sports grounds, play areas, public gardens and semi-natural green spaces. This involved innovative approaches to sustainable landscape design, including 鈥榚dible landscape鈥� concepts.
The scheme has undergone extensive community and stakeholder consultation, for which SLR provided the public consultation material and a range of supporting plans, and prepared and edited the Design and Access Statement.
Impact
The outline planning application was approved in October 2017 and has been designed as a 鈥�21st century garden suburb鈥�.
