The Development Areas show designed
schemes which are quite realistic in their
visual presentation. They should be viewed
as a snapshot in time; an image of what
might be, to facilitate long term planning of
amenities and infrastructure, and primarily to
act as a vehicle for illustrating and promoting
the guidelines in Section 3. These reflect a
longer term strategy to achieve a
sustainable development process in the
village, with each scheme or zone being
evaluated at the time of submission against
these development criteria.
2.7 Development Areas
Development Areas are divided into 11 parcels for convenience of development.
Area 1 is focussed on a new village square with mixed uses designed to create an active
place for work, retail / commercial / community uses, a creche and residential
development.
Close to the village, Areas 2,3 and 5 provide a consolidating phase of residential
development, each incorporating some housing for older or special needs people.
Areas for recreational purposes are at 4, 6, 7 and 8, and an outlying layout for housing
development includes Areas 9,10 and 11.
The Development Areas may be seen in context on this aerial view, below, of proposed
development.
