Executive summary from entrant:

Ashmere Phases 1 and 2 transform a disused industrial chalk quarry of no ecological, economic or social value, into a vibrant, biodiverse, modern garden village, delivering 516 high-quality, tenure-blind homes. The scheme’s design includes extensive green infrastructure, sustainable transport and thoughtful design, rooted in local heritage. All homes enjoy easy access to richly planted open spaces and pedestrian/cycle friendly routes to promote healthy, sustainable lifestyles and community interaction. Sustainable connections to employment and retail centres, and schools across the region enhance job prospects and improve the overall quality of life, making Ashmere an attractive and economically viable place to live.
