Landscaping Strategy

​

An illustrative landscape strategy for the site has been developed by Oobe, an award-winning landscape architecture practice based in Newcastle. This strategy includes:

 

• a pedestrian boulevard running from north to south through the development
   

• a simple palette of materials to create a clear hierarchy of spaces and routes
   

• significant native tree planting in and around the site, with generous pit sizes
   

• increased legibility and accessibility, to provide a high quality environment, accessible to all
   

• the inclusion of sustainable drainage features across the site, including parking bays and rain gardens;
   

• enhancing biodiversity, by creating foraging habitats through soft landscaping
   

• maximising natural surveillance across the site, through the layout and planting palette
