MOD Site 4, Sandon Road

UPL supported an Atkins-Realis consortium team working for Homes England in the preparation of an outline planning application for 420 homes on a former MOD site north of Stafford, located within the context of a wider strategic development location (SDL).
Services provided by UPL included urban design, masterplanning and landscape design, plus a detailed (illustrative) residential housing layout.
The site design concept was informed by the existing military infrastructure, leading to a strong central avenue and central green space. Site topography was particularly challenging, with the UPL landscape team needing to work alongside Atkins-Realis engineers to arrive at an appropriate and attractive site drainage solution.
