Repton park, Ashford (1200 Homes)

6 Reserved Matters phases and counting! With a Masterplan and Design Code, prepared before our involvement, for 1200 new homes set around a swathe of parkland, through the centre of which runs … the Channel Tunnel Rail Link. The design code sets standards for street typologies and architecture, which is quite contemporary in its detailing; although typically, since then, local design standards, refuse standards, parking standards etc have all moved on, and we have been able to successfully negotiate departures from the Design Code, including new street typologies which were not anticipated by the original Masterplan.
