Executive summary from entrant:J Group appointed PRP for architecture and landscape architecture services to deliver a 588-unit landscape-led masterplan, prioritising nature and outdoor space. The design angles buildings away from Wealdstone Brook and Brook Avenue, allowing landscape to permeate and create fluid, natural spaces rather than man-made rigid forms. Generous green areas foster biodiversity, achieving a UGF of 0.6 within a dense urban setting. The public realm and resident amenities enhance the local environment, transforming streetscapes, revealing the Brook, and offering high-quality play and leisure spaces. The scheme harmonises the built form and landscape, enriching both community and ecological value.
