OUR PROPOSALS

The site today

Right now, the site on land at Goodneston Road is largely closed off and underused – but its location means it could become a great place for homes, green spaces, and local businesses. Instead of being privately occupied, this land could bring people closer to everything they may need – homes, jobs, shops, parks, and public transport. 

Creating a modern, sustainable place to live and work

We’re designing a neighbourhood that works for real life with new walking and cycling routes, tree-lined streets that feel welcoming and safe, and homes designed to be energy-efficient and affordable to run. 

FAQ: With 1,600 homes planned, will this development mean thousands of extra cars flooding our streets?

Up to 1,600 new homes

A mix of housing options to meet the needs of residents, including affordable homes, homes to rent and purchase and retirement living opportunities.

Spaces for employment, leisure, and community facilities

Supporting the local economy and providing a variety of spaces for different uses.

New public open spaces

New green spaces will create welcoming, safe streets where people can walk, relax, and connect with nature.

A large increase in biodiversity

With new green spaces, tree planting, podium gardens and green roofs, ground-level urban gardens, raised courtyards, and rooftop terraces.

Site Plan

The development is part of the Atlas Place Framework, guides development across three brownfield sites south of Hockey’s Lane and New Station Way, with three developers working together to ensure a cohesive and well-planned transformation.
