It was important to us when developing our plans to design a neighbourhood which complements its surroundings and enhances quality of life for residents and locals.

Currently legal public access is limited to the Public Rights of Way which cross the site.

So we’ve created a 9-hectare (22 acre) new public park to be at the heart of our development between the new housing and the existing Tilehurst community.

We will gift the park to a local organisation and it will be legally protected from future development.

In addition, a woodland buffer will extend around the park, linking up surrounding isolated areas of ancient woodland.

The park will give residents open space to enjoy, get to know their neighbours and also enhance local wildlife.
