VEC led the strategic concept of a Country Park wrapping around and integrating with the built environment to instil a sense of living within a country park. This integrated green infrastructure concept was identified and then designed by VEC to create a built and natural environment where ‘‘The character of the development will be defined by the landscape setting and will enhance and extend existing habitats, such as Blue Bell Beck, Mandale Meadow and West Plantation, whilst creating a wide range of new habitats that will define its character and form the backdrop for human activities. The new contiguous habitat will deliver a net gain in biodiversity and create a seamless transition between the built environment and the countryside, facilitating the movement of wildlife and people.’’
