Ancient and mature woodlands within the development will be protected and enhanced, while existing watercourses will be cleared, managed and maintained.

Wetland planting, alongside restored wildflower meadows and the planting of over 1,400 trees across the Halsnead Garden Village development, will improve bio-diversity, providing new habitats for birds and other species. Halsnead Garden Village will become a haven for wildlife, with the protection of grasslands and meadowlands.

Bringing the community together is at the heart of the development. With the creation of 75km of cycleways, 2km of pathways and a new seating area at Long Lake, we want to create a space where everyone can enjoy the great outdoors. Whether you’re an avid cyclist, a runner or someone who simply appreciates the beauty of the great outdoors, there’s something for everyone.

In the south of Halsnead Garden Village will be the new 28-hectare country park, which will be managed by The Land Trust. The sculptured landscape will include multi-user routes and a crossing over the newly created wetland area.
