Master Plan

Next phase of the master plan

Progress Update

The Linmere Masterplan is influenced by a number of design concepts and principles that have been carefully considered throughout the planning and development process. Everything we create is inspired by:

  • Connecting residents to nature – creating inclusive and accessible open spaces that offer and encourage active and play opportunities for all ages
  • Enhancing biodiversity – the green open spaces have been designed to create new habitat for a diverse range of wildlife and in turn boost biodiversity on site
  • Promoting active travel – Linmere has been designed to encourage and enable active travel throughout the development through safe pedestrian and cycle routes

Linmere residents will never be more than 5 minutes from green outdoor space

How will we achieve this?

A design code was developed and approved by Central Bedfordshire Council making sure the design concepts and principles that inspired the Masterplan are put into practice.

The themes include:

Character and architecture

The Code will cover:

  • Design requirements for the form, scale and architectural character of buildings
  • Frontage typologies and public realm enclosure
  • Building materials and details

SOCIAL COHESION AND COMMUNITY SPIRIT

The Code will cover:

  • Strategy to encourage an active and healthy lifestyle
  • Access to non-residential uses around the site
  • Integration with the existing community

MOBILITY, STREETS
AND PUBLIC REALM

The Code will cover:

  • Street hierarchy and Surface materials
  • Walking and cycling routes and Parking options
  • Street dimensions
  • Location of bus stop

GREEN AND BLUE
INFRASTRUCTURE

The Code will cover:

  • Location of key open spaces
  • Design principles for the layout of each space
  • Planting species and Drainage features
  • Boundary treatments
  • Wayfinding and signage

How will we achieve this?
