Our Urban Design Studio worked in collaboration with Bidwells’ planning and residential development teams to assess and develop proposals for Dunsfold Aerodrome, a 250-hectare site in the Surrey Wolds for the Rutland Group. It is currently home to the Top Gear test track facility.

What we did

• Undertook site assessment works including landscape character and visual impact, townscape and capacity study assessments to inform the subsequent design exercise

• Produced a high level master plan vision for a mixed use sustainable development, with a garden village theme

• Developed three master plan scenarios based upon low, medium and high density uses

• Presented documentation to the client and stakeholder teams

Result

• Delivery of a high level vision demonstrating the long term strategic goals, including phasing and infrastructure delivery
