As well as new homes, the community will also include a new country park, walking and cycling routes, a second new secondary school two new primary schools, a nursery, as well as improvements to surrounding infrastructure.
The project is a joint project between Countryside L&Q, Ptarmigan Land, Halley Developments and Greycoat Real Estate.
