Cottingwood Masterplan

This project will entail the development of over 875 homes and a local village centre. The aim of the masterplan is to create a comfortable community where residents can enjoy a better quality of life. Cundall was engaged for multidisciplinary engineering and planning consultancy to update and improve the masterplan and develop new designs for an “infrastructure first” package.

Cundall’s highways and active travel design provided a 1.5 km spine road, secondary road infrastructure, segregated footways and cycleways and drainage infrastructure. Because the town has experienced severe flooding in recent years, we undertook a detailed Site-Specific Flood Risk assessment and suggested four catchments to help reduce the risk. Our proposed surface water management plan includes a combination of traditional drainage, green drainage, and innovative drainage components.

Michael Florance, Associate, commented, “As a part of Cundall’s commitment to Zero Carbon Design by 2023, our designs for this project also involved lowering the amount of embodied carbon and protecting local wildlife.”
