SHERECROFT FARM, BOTLEY

HGP Architects Ltd

Executive summary:

A contextually driven solution and a natural extension to Botley, not only provides a strong mix of types and tenures (which itself creates a diverse community) but also opens parkland to the wider public to explore. Sherecroft creates defined character areas, influenced by the former farming use of the land and historical interest and visual cues to the centre. Naturally surveyed streets, with positive frontages and strategic planting areas, give verdant edges to the scheme, allowing dwellings to sit within the landscape and back drop of mature trees. Combining the above creates a thriving, healthy and prospering place to live.
