The places we design and create are more than just housing and infrastructure. They are the carefully designed communities where people can live and flourish.
What is placemaking?
We value the importance of crafting shared spaces through the formation of attractive street scenes and well-located amenity spaces. One of the most significant ways in which we add value is through ‘setting the scene’ and ‘gateways’ to our developments. Gateways announce our aspirations for the new community and are crucial in ensuring that a sense of place is created from the outset.

Our approach
01
We buy land in the places where people want to live, well connected to the towns and cities they are near.
02
We design new communities including or well linked to schools, shops, green spaces, community facilities, jobs and town/city centres.
03
We respond to the challenges of climate change by working towards net zero, achieving biodiversity net gain and implementing innovative transport strategies.
04
We respect the importance of democracy by engaging with local communities, authorities and partners to understand and aim to deliver what people need.
05
We build high quality houses that people want to call home by thinking about what our customers need and want, right from the beginning.
