The Garden Community will be built to the highest design standards with plenty of green space.

People will have the choice as to how they want to travel around the area. While obviously they could have their own cars, they will also have access to safe and attractive walking and cycling routes, world class public transport and latest green technology supporting electric vehicles close to their homes.

It will also be designed with excellent connectivity for walking and cycling with all neighbourhoods connected by public transport to reduce reliance on cars.

Importantly, through the long-term stewardship of community assets such as green spaces and commercial buildings, residents will have a say over their community and will have a powerful voice in how they are run.

The key aim of the Garden Community is to create high quality environments where communities thrive.

The Garden Community will be designed with jobs close by which are easily accessible, and also promote the move towards increasing home working with superfast broadband.

Ultimately therefore, Garden Communities are all about raising the quality of life of residents.
