Situated on the former Wisley Airfield, Stratford View will lay the foundations for this exciting new settlement, delivering 459 dwellings ranging from one and two bedroom apartments up to five-bedroom family homes. The neighbourhood will offer a diverse mix of private sale and affordable homes, including shared ownership and affordable rent will offer a diverse mix for new residents.

Drawing inspiration from the qualities of garden suburbs and the character of surrounding Lovelace villages, Stratford View will be shaped around a network of natural green spaces, and garden squares that encourage social connection and wellbeing. Thoughtfully integrated with the surrounding Surrey Hills and influenced by the renowned planting at RHS Wisley, the neighbourhood will feature a diverse palette of plant species native to the surrounding.

At its heart, a Neighbourhood Green will offer a welcoming public space framed by buildings and facing southwards into the surrounding 45 hectare Country Park, revealing far-reaching views across the Surrey Hills. Stratford Park will create an important green open space connecting Stratford View to the second neighbourhood, Upper Ockham in the east.

Prioritising active travel, a Sustainable Movement Corridor forms the main movement artery through the neighbourhood supporting walking, cycling and sustainable transport. As a mini hub a neighbourhood square will sit on the sustainable corridor acting as a mixed-use space with commercial space, mobility hub with bus stops, car clubs and cycle storage contained within a high-quality landscaped public square.

The architectural character reflects the Arts and Crafts movement found locally in Surrey, blending craftsmanship, natural materials and a human-scale. A carefully curated palette of materials and features draws on the distinct character of the surrounding Lovelace villages. Accent materials are used to highlight buildings on key corners, vistas or to provide greater variety and character on the myriad of frontage types.

This project milestone follows JTP’s planning approval for the Wisley SANG (Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace) café and community centre in June 2025. The landmark building will mark the entrance to the first neighbourhood at Stratford View and will be endowed to the Community Trust, which will be responsible for the running of the building, with revenue supporting the long-term stewardship and legacy of the community.

“Stratford View represents the beginning of an exciting chapter for the new settlement at Wisley. This first neighbourhood embodies the essence of a modern Surrey village, and the design team has worked hard to create a neighbourhood that not only respects its setting within the Surrey Hills but also offers a welcoming and connected community for future residents to call home.”

Josh Cherry, Partner at JTP

“We were pleased to work with JTP to deliver the plans for Stratford View, the first of three neighbourhoods that will be located on the site of the former Wisley Airfield. JTP were able to take the vision for the new settlement and consult with statutory consultees, planning authorities and stakeholders to secure planning permission that will enable us to deliver much needed homes in Surrey.”
