Re-imagening the traditional Garden Village, to create a unique and diverse neighbourhood driven by the Townscape Movement principles
Land north to Eynsham to accommodate a free-standing exemplar of Garden Village (WODC Local Plan) Development proposal for the site:
Structural masterplan
Re-imagine out-dated Garden Village principles in order to respond the current issues Ebenezer Howard first set out the Garden City principles in 1989. His ideas had a profound impact on urban planning and design. The ideas was to alleviate poverty through the provision of good-quality housing, access to green infrastructures, provision of the scheme that benefits the community etc (TCPA, 2018).
• An assumption of about 2200 homes (across the whole site) • Development taken forward in accordable with key Garden Village principles • The provision of supporting transport infrastructure, provision of appropriate public transport serving the site • The provision of comprehensive network for pedestrian and cycling • The provision of appropriate landscaping measures • Master planning that takes adequate account of open space and green infrastructure • Appropriate measure to mitigate traffic noise
