Architect GSSArchitecture<\/a> has submitted plans for a carbon neutral development between Bedford and Luton, which includes the delivery of 3,850 homes<\/h2>\n

The application seeks to create a carbon neutral development between Bedford and Luton, incorporating a later living<\/a> community, school, retail, employment, new publicly accessible woodland of 100,000 trees and a solar park.<\/p>\n

A range of residential accommodation will be delivered, providing a mix of new housing and opportunities for self-build<\/a>. All homes are designed to promote community ethos, whilst being very energy efficient and integrating sustainable technologies and supporting adaptable and home working facilities.<\/p>\n

The masterplanning team at GSSArchitecture, guided by their in-house sustainability and health and wellbeing working groups, have developed plans which are driven by the need for landscaping and open space.<\/p>\n

The new carbon neutral development, known as Greenwoods, will have provision for outdoor sport and recreation facilities appealing to all ages, including numerous parks and allotments.<\/p>\n

The existing landscape will also be retained and enhanced, allowing the community to maintain a green and rural character.<\/p>\n

The plans aim to deliver up to 3,850 new homes set within 100 hectares of open green space, with strong pedestrian and cycle routes throughout the development, connecting to nearby towns and villages.<\/p>\n

\u2018Truly innovative plans\u2019<\/h3>\n

Tom Lyons, senior partner at GSSArchitecture, said: \u201cA truly collaborative approach undertaken by the entire project team has led to the successful development of these truly innovative plans for a carbon neutral development.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is vital that the way we develop our communities adapts in order to utilise more sustainable approaches<\/a>, and we are proud that this team has been able to develop ideas and innovations that can hopefully influence future developments.\u201d<\/p>\n

GSSArchitecture submitted the plans on behalf of their client, Templeview Developments Ltd.<\/p>\n
