Landscape
• Where new footpath / cycle links are proposed to pass through
the central woodland belt these are planned to comprise of wide
sweeping boardwalks. Boardwalks enable these pathways to
pass over root areas and work around existing tree trunks in a
manner that enables east - west connections to be made without
the need for excessive tree loss.
• New pathways / cycle links have been designed so they are clear,
legible, attractive and inviting. Wide curved routes connect each
group of buildings with the hub. Where possible these pathways
are routed along the site’s contours in order to restrict the number
of steps required within the landscape.

• Proposed pathways are to be complemented with hedge and tree
planting to further define these routes.
• The link between the heart of the campus and development
zone will include surfacing, furniture and lighting which befits
its strategic status. Where this route is proposed along existing
roadways, these will be regraded and resurfaced to create shared
surface spaces with pedestrian priority.
• Vehicular movement through to Plantation Park from the hall will
be controlled through repositioning of removable bollards
