Green light at Princess Royal Barracks

fabrik were commissioned by Taylor Wimpey to provide landscape design services in support of Reserved Matters planning applications for two parcels within the Princess Royal Barracks development at Deepcut. Following a successful outcome for Parcels I&J in September, a resolution to grant permission has now been achieved for Parcels C&D.

Working alongside OSP Architecture, RCP, Savills and SJA Trees, fabrik produced landscape designs that respond to the prevailing heathland landscape character, retain and respect existing tree stock, propose a significant level of new tree planting and create open spaces and amenity areas for people to relax and play.

Parcels I&J are located between the new Deepcut Village Green to the East and SANG to the west and therefore creates connections with both whilst reflecting a varying character that is consistent with each key recreational space. Parcels C&D occupy a topographically challenging site and deal with the visual impacts of the new housing through a layered approach to tree planting. This development phase also includes an extension to the village centre with adjacent plaza, where the change in levels are addressed through a series of planted terraces and ramps.
