This area will also include native tree planting and other landscaping features to enhance the experience of this space and provide habitats for a variety of wildlife. The scheme will provide a high quality, attractive and distinctive housing scheme with appropriate housing types, open space, landscaping and access.

- 1.9 hectares of public open space;
- Areas for play;
- Informal footpath routes;
