Landscape and Biodiversity Management Strategy
The residential development is located within the eastern half of the site. This area will
likely consist of a mix of detached, semi-detached properties and some apartment blocks,
arranged between areas of open space. The landscaping would consist of street trees,
hedge and shrub planting.
5.7 Zone 6: Central Open Space
The central open space will provide amenity greenspace, including sports pitches and a
village green. Located between the residential area and non-residential area, it would
deliver a green setting between the built form. The existing pond would be retained,
protected by fencing and enhanced by management.
5.8 Zone 7: Non-residential Development
The non-residential development area is located within the western half of the site. This
area would have a more ornamental style of landscaping, including street trees, hedge
and shrub planting. Green roofs will be incorporated into the design of some of the new
buildings.
The main entrance to the south of this area, would include high quality landscaping,
creating a sense of arrival. The planting would include semi-mature trees and a
preformed native hedge to restore the character of Chobham Lane, where an area of
vegetation would be removed to accommodate access into the proposed development.
