The Fosseway

This high quality, sustainable development will include 1- and 2-bedroom apartments and 2-, 3- and 4-bedroom houses. Homes will be well insulated, helping to reduce emissions and potentially lower energy bills too. Well-designed, landscaped green spaces will surround the development and will include a play park to be used by new and existing residents.

The extra care housing will provide around 70 affordable homes for older people who have care and support needs but wish to maintain their independence with the assurance of 24/7 on site care.

Communal facilities, which could include a café, hairdresser, or meeting spaces will be open to the public, helping to build an integrated neighbourhood of old and young – proven to support the health and wellbeing of the residents as part of a thriving community.

Ambitions for the site include:

• A new walking and cycling link from Petherton Road to New Fosseway Road, providing a safe and green alternative to the Wells Road.
• New public open space and play space for new and existing residents.
• New tree and hedgerow planting, alongside significant retention of existing trees and vegetation

Our plans have been given the Building with Nature Design accreditation, meaning the development will benefit both people and wildlife. This accreditation is voluntary and encourages developers to go beyond minimum statutory requirements to support the natural world.

We’ll achieve at least 10% biodiversity net gain on the site, including increasing the diversity of plants, and will be preserving the existing woodland habitat. New habitats will be creates with planted swales, perennial planting, shrubs, wildflower meadows and hedges.
