GREEN & BLUE INFRASTRUCTURE
The site is so large that Willerby
Landscapes dealt with it as five
landscapes Central, North, East,
South and West. Phase one
included informal open land in the
western edge of the development,
representing a major piece of the
new parkland. Over 2,400 trees were
planted by the time the first phase
of the development was completed
in 2017. There are over 24 hectares
of open space in Phase 1, and over 65
hectares in the entire development. as part of Willerby’s established,
valued and trusted supply chain.
As well as tree planting materials
we have supplied more than 500
tonnes of Green-tree amenity tree
soil; a load-bearing, fertile soil which
is designed especially for use in
urban environments. 100 tonnes of
Loksand Rootzone was supplied to
reduce compaction and improve
stability of sports pitches and
grassed areas that will be subject to
heavy trafficking.
