Landscaping: 53 per cent (60 Hectares) of the site will be undeveloped.  The landscaping strategy includes 9 landscape character areas, and the existing landscape character is proposed to be reinforced through soft landscape proposals. Woodland edges, parkland trees, woodland streamlines, mature hedgerows and roadside trees, will reinforce the character by creating a sequence of linked wooded spaces. The whole site Landscape Masterplan is available to view.
