WE ARE BUILDING A PLACE IN WHICH PEOPLE WILL
STILL WANT TO LIVE, ONE HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW.
THEN, NOW AND EVERY YEAR IN BETWEEN.
TOO FEW MODERN DEVELOPERS THINK IN THESE TERMS.
The golden age of housebuilding, which ran from the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century, produced millions of homes in which people still want to live today. We want to take the best of that period: the variation in design given order by simple repetition, the ubiquitous front and back gardens, the use of hedges, trees and lawns and the grouping of homes with other local amenities.
To this we want to add the demands of the modern age; smart and connected living, green open spaces and local shopping, employment, education and healthcare.
At Welborne we are creating a blueprint with which we hope to inspire a new generation of enlightened developers. If we are successful, we will have created a traditional English garden village at Welborne, fit for the modern age, and for the next 100 years.
