Commissions: Residential Landscapes

Cambridge Manor Care Home & Residential Development, Milton Road, Cambridge

(For the TLC Group/John Cobb & Partners)

We were commissioned to work with the architect & developer on this sensitive corner site in a northern district of Cambridge. There are two elements to the scheme namely the development of a new 88 bed residential care home on the south part of the site, & high quality residential housing development to the north of the site. We were responsible for designing & specifying all the external works up to the successful receipt of planning consent. In particular we provide the detailed design for the care home resident’s garden that included facilities for wheelchair users such as raised beds, tactile path surfaces, & plants that appeal to all the senses. The care home has now been completed & will provide a much needed facility for Cambridge.

We completed a tree condition survey & a comprehensive planting scheme for this prestigious development in Buckinghamshire countryside close by to Pinewood Film Studios. The development has been completed to a high standard & was recently on the residential market for £3.9million.

Tentelow Lane, Norwood Green, Southall, London Borough of Ealing

We were commissioned to work on the landscape & planting design for the land adjacent to The Plough Inn, Tentelow Lane.

GKL House Proposed Residential Development, Cookham, Berkshire
(For Connaught Land Ltd)

Goodger Design Associates were asked by Connaught Land Ltd to prepare a landscape scheme to enhance the setting of the proposed residential scheme, located at the existing GKL office site, in Cookham with the building designed by Heighway Associates. The site’s landscape setting is important both visually & as viable townscape. The landscape design complements the architectural design in responding effectively to local constraints such as local flooding threats, proximity to a busy road, sloping ground & tight site boundaries. The landscape proposals for the public frontages are practical & realisable whilst planting, paving, & lighting proposals provide an attractive setting. The proposal is currently at the planning stage.

Powney Road, Maidenhead, Berkshire 
(for Persimmon Homes/Westbury Group)

We worked closely with the architect & engineer to produce an attractive external works layout including a private recreational space for residents. An existing mature Lime tree was retained & incorporated into the external works design. Parking areas allow rainwater infiltration in line with current SUDS (sustainable drainage) requirements. The masterplan drawing was presented to local councillors & planning officers prior to our client gaining planning permission.

Roehampton Vale, Richmond, Surrey 
(for Persimmon Homes/ Westbury Group)

We worked closely with the architect & engineer to produce an attractive external works layout including private gardens for residents. The site overlooks the Richmond Park with its attractive backdrop of mature trees. The planting & external works design took careful note of this sensitive location & successful consultations took place with Royal Parks officers. The scheme received planning permission & the condition for a sensitive landscape scheme was met.

Highleigh Fields, Chichester, Sussex
(For Berkeley Homes South Ltd)

We were commissioned to provide an attractive planting & external works layout for this prestigious development of new luxury homes on a brownfield site in southern England between Chichester & Selsey. We designed the gardens & reception areas for the show home & incorporated designs for a gazebo liked by a pergola to the rear patio of the show home. The design was provides cheerful splashes of colour using spring bulbs & plants with evergreen foliage in a range of hues attractive throughout the whole year.
