Our emerging vision

Working with your feedback, together with the County Council, Council and its urban design team, we want to create:

  • A place that integrates with, and enhances Four Marks and Medstead
  • A place that promotes physical health and mental wellbeing
  • A landscape-led place built around nature, that ensures key landscape assets are design focal points
  • A place that creates a green framework and proposes substantial new planting, including within the street design
  • A place that advocates sustainable living through intelligent planning and building design, and allows for future adaptation to integrate emerging technologies
  • A place that improves connections with the wider countryside and provides enhanced biodiversity
  • A place that supports the day to day living of all ages as an inclusive community for new residents and the wider town
  • A place that promotes active travel routes to and from Four Marks and Medstead
  • A place that provides local services and infrastructure not just for new residents, but for the wider community
  • A development that creates a fun, safe and beautiful extension to Four Marks and Medstead – with placemaking at its heart.
