Bold Forest Garden Village
About the project
The Bold Forest Garden Village Masterplan is currently being developed in line with site allocation 4HA and Policy LPA11 included in the council's Local Plan. As a key source of housing supply in the borough over the coming years, the ambition is to deliver around 3,000 homes across the masterplan area 30% of which will be affordable.
The masterplan is being prepared in line with Garden Village principles, with a focus upon high-quality design and landscape delivery. It is about ensuring a healthy, sustainable and connected life for all residents, future generations and the wider borough.
Following our initial consultation in April, the masterplan consultant team are currently developing the preferred masterplan option in response to public feedback and baseline evidence. The council are aiming to complete a Masterplan Framework by the end of 2025.
