Plans for architect-designed parkland revealed
Plans for over 6 acres of landscaped parkland at Holburne Park have been unveiled. Situated within naturally sloping grounds next to the Kennet and Avon canal in Bath, Holburne Park is a new development of villas, sweeping terraces and apartments, built in a classical style.
Due to open this summer, the parkland is a key element of the scheme, enhancing the area’s natural beauty and introducing an expansive new public green space for local residents to enjoy.
Designed by acclaimed local landscape architects, Matthew Wigan Associates, it will be a place of tranquillity as well as providing a selection of amenities including a natural play area, fitness trail and two new pedestrian walkways, one of which will run alongside the canal with benches along the route.
The parkland is designed to provide a haven for wildlife, with features such as a bat barn, wild meadows and grass banks sitting alongside the elegant lawned areas.
Vicky Dudbridge is a director in Savills residential development sales division. She comments: “Parks and green spaces are and always have been important within our communities. Now, after more than a year spent living under the constraints of the pandemic, they have become especially valuable.
“In a survey of over 1,100 Savills buyers and sellers we conducted in March, proximity to a park or open space was named as a top two priority for 55 per cent of respondents in relation to choosing a new home. This is a notable increase from 42 per cent who included it in their top two priorities in April 2020 and highlights the enduring impact of lockdown on how we want to live.
“Holburne Park is set in a magnificent location. With expansive views across the city and open countryside it is truly exceptional. Matthew Wigan’s scheme really makes the most of its credentials and will enrich the local area both in terms of beauty and amenity.”
