The development will also feature a centrally located 400 sq.m communal open space.

Ledwill Avenue will be extended by 58 metres to the eastern boundary to facilitate access to the site and allow for a future connection to lands to the east.

Vehicular, pedestrian, and cycle access will be provided from multiple points within the Ledwill Park estate, along with additional pedestrian and cycle links throughout the site.

The scheme will be constructed in three phases and will include associated infrastructure such as water services, bin storage, public lighting, landscaping, boundary treatments, and internal roads.

The project represents a significant boost to housing supply in Kilcock, where demand for new homes has been steadily increasing.
