Nansledan delivers an exemplar sustainable development that enhances quality of life, strengthens community bonds and gives people a sense of pride in where they live. It draws on traditional styles, both in the built form and landscape, and the use of local materials and craftsmanship.
As part of the new neighbourhood, the scheme is delivering a new community hub complex, which will consist of shops, cafés, offices, flexible workspace and a children’s nursery, grouped together around a landscaped courtyard. Further amenities are planned throughout the new urban extension, including a GP surgery and market street. Play is provided in local ’gardens’, which combine food production, play and meeting places, bringing together the whole community. The allotments and the community orchard, part of a wider food strategy, promote production of locally grown food alongside local employment and skills, and are thriving.
