A Vision for the North of Lowestoft Garden Village
Creating a New Neighbourhood
It is the vision of the proposed Masterplan to create a new neighbourhood in the form of the Garden Village which is distinct in its own right, and which achieves the highest standards of design and sustainability. However, it is also important to ensure that this relates well and has regard to the context provided by the setting and existing development in the area.
The overall aim of the Masterplan is to demonstrate how the development will achieve Garden Village Principles, whilst being a complementary addition to the area that maintains and protects the identity of Corton and other nearby villages.
The Garden Village Principles are set out on Pages 10 – 11 of the Draft Masterplan. These include the following:
- Comprehensive high quality green infrastructure
- Enhanced natural environment
- A well connected and walkable neighbourhood
- A vibrant and healthy community
- A variety of beautifully designed homes for a range of lifestyles
- Exemplar urban design and placemaking that is appropriate to its context
