A residential site within the wider Boyd Park setting.

The site sits within the south-western part of the wider Boyd Park masterplan area, off Oxford Road.

It is close to existing homes at William’s Farm, with Oxford Road to the south and green corridors, open space and watercourses forming part of the wider setting. The proposals will need to consider the relationship with existing residents, the appearance of the development from Oxford Road and how this phase connects with the rest of Boyd Park.

The Lika Brook corridor lies to the north of the proposed development parcels. This forms part of the landscape setting and is expected to help manage surface water. Boyd Park also includes Boyd Park Brook and Monks Brook, which are part of the wider water strategy.

To the west, Kilbarron Park open space is expected to help connect the new homes with the wider green network. A neighbourhood green and play space are also identified nearby.

The wider Boyd Park area includes Logan Wood, a 38-hectare woodland with a 1.7-mile circular trail. The source material states that more than half of Boyd Park is intended to be green space, although the detailed proposals for this phase will need to show how it contributes to that wider approach.
