Tattenhall. An English Care Village provided by Seddon

Landscape and Village context

The development offers a positive opportunity to enhance and protect much of the landscape setting of the Village’s western edge.

A sympathetically designed low-impact care development is proposed to replace the intensive dairy unit that has, for many years, been an un-neighbourly feature close to residential properties.

The proposal includes:

• A generous landscape buffer to protect adjoining properties. Existing trees and hedges will be kept.
  
  
• A new footpath for public use providing an attractive circular walk to link existing public open space with the fields to the west of the Village, and complementing the Village’s Millennium Mile.
  
  
• A wildlife enhancement programme for the site and the land west of the Village as far as the old railway line. This will include high value habitats such as Mill Brook, ponds and wetland areas, wildlife corridors along field boundaries, and an area of traditional hay meadow.
  
  
• New tree and copse planting at key points around the site to minimise any visual impact from the development.
  
  
• An award-winning design team lead by Tyack Architects has been selected to produce a scheme that will be in-keeping with the original character of Tattenhall.
