Community in The Steadings
The Steadings will create a new community welcoming those at all stages of life. The housing provided includes housing for the elderly, affordable and private market homes.
All in an unrivalled setting where placemaking and community are the priority, The Steadings will deliver high quality and sensitively designed spaces that create an attractive, welcoming and healthy environment for everybody to enjoy.
The Steadings will comprise:
2,350 new homes, including 30% affordable; employment land for business; 100 acres of green space for people and wildlife; a new primary school; indoor sports hall; mini-football pitches and tennis courts; healthcare facilities; local retail; restaurants and cafés; plus a neighbourhood centre and village centre. The Chesterton Farm complex, including Grade II listed farmhouse, situated at the very heart of the community, will be renovated and form the hub for the new neighbourhood.
One of the most distinctive features of The Steadings will be its green spaces and its network of footpaths and cycleways linking the character areas and making them easily accessible to all residents. Encouraging residents to make sustainable travel choices, a bus service will follow a route directly through the site with a number of bus stops located within the development.
The quality of the homes provided will respect the highly desirable Cotswolds location of The Steadings, offering a mix of dwelling types and tenures, including affordable housing, providing new opportunities for everyone be it young families, those in their later years, first time buyers or couples and individuals to put down roots.
The Steadings will create a new community welcoming those at all stages of life. The housing provided includes housing for the elderly, affordable and private market homes.
Social, environmental and economic sustainability is at the heart of The Steadings ethos and a host of different services and facilities will be within easy walking distance of the new homes, encouraging residents out of their cars and onto the extensive network of footpaths and cycleways.
Vehicle speed in the development will be kept low, so that streets and junctions will be useable and enjoyable public spaces, designed to ensure they are secure and safe spaces for all users.
