This represents the 2nd major phase of a 1,000 home mixed-use development which had already been granted Outline Planning Permission. As well as housing, the latest approval gives detailed consent for the ‘neighbourhood centre’, which provides commercial space for a convenience store and other local retail units. In addition, there will be acres of green space, play areas, a green amphitheatre, cycle networks and a footbridge across the A38 trunk road .

AWP provided masterplanning, highways and levels, drainage strategy and cut/fill input associated with the RMA . We also supported the extensive stakeholder and community engagement process alongside the Client and wider design team, including a public consultation and meetings with local interest groups – all critical to ensuring community involvement, communicating Bloors vision, and pathing the way for a positive planning process.

Thanks to Bloor Homes Exeter and the whole project team . W e look forward to seeing the site come forward to construction stage following our continued involvement to provide the subsequent Detailed Design drawings to secure S38 and S104 technical approvals.
