JTP to design new Garden Village at Long Marston Airfield

Published on 21 July 2017

JTP has been appointed by CALA Homes to design a new Garden Village at Long Marston Airfield in Stratford-upon-Avon.

The former WWII Royal Air Force base is one of the 14 Garden Villages selected by the government to deliver much-needed housing across the country.

JTP will now work closely with CALA Homes, the HCA, Stratford-upon-Avon District Council and the communities of surrounding villages to support the delivery of this significant 205 ha site, to provide a garden village of 3,500 homes, significant employment space, two primary schools and a secondary school, with a mixed-use village centre at the heart of the site.

The proposals will be brought forward in line with Garden Village principles to ensure a vibrant new community for Long Marston Airfield, with high-quality homes in a mix of sizes and tenures balanced by the infrastructure required for a site of this size and significance.

Sustainability will be at the heart of the proposals, with cycle routes and footpaths prioritised over cars and green corridors threading through the site. Long Marston Airfield will seek to identify and establish a character that draws on its rich context to reflect the distinctive local character of surrounding villages.

“

We have a unique opportunity to build a strong new community in a naturally beautiful and unconstrained setting, combining the best of town and country life and creating a positive legacy for this historically significant site.
