The emerging design is based on creating a collection of villages in a landscaped setting. These will be linked by open space and a series of paths and roads. The aim is to create a series of paths (using existing Rights of Way and new paths) to connect homes to the open space, central facilities and, subject to land availability, a spine route to the parkway station, to maximise opportunities for sustainable travel. Significant new tree planting is anticipated to create the “villages in the landscape” appearance. The use of the slightly higher land for some of the residential development responds to 10. VILLAGES IN THE LANDSCAPE VILLAGES 10. the situation of Stoulton for example and will enable long distance views to the Malvern Hills. For houses in the central/southern area there will a local outlook and access across a parkland and sports area, to the west. To the east is a buffer, of open parkland based on a shallow valley, to Stoulton.

The eastern village is accessed from the B4084 and careful consideration will need to be given to creating linkages to the main site, where the facilities are positioned. At this stage the need for and extent of schools and central facilities has not been determined; the illustrative plan shows a central location for a primary school and a local centre.
