Our Vision For Burnbank
Our vision for the site is to bring forward proposals for a high-quality residential development that makes efficient use of the existing land, creating new homes alongside a well-designed landscape setting, community facilities and public open space.
A key component of the proposals is the creation of accessible, well-designed spaces that support recreation, biodiversity and community use, delivering a valued community asset and lasting legacy for generations to come.
As part of the ongoing consultation process, local residents, businesses and community groups have been invited to help shape how these spaces could be used, ensuring the development reflects the needs and aspirations of both existing and future communities.
A Place for Everyone
Accessibility has been a key consideration throughout the emerging design.
The proposed open space is designed to be welcoming, inclusive and accessible, creating opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy recreation, social interaction and quiet moments in nature.
Whether meeting friends, enjoying a walk, spending time with family or simply connecting with nature, the ambition is to create a space that become part of everyday life.
A New Community Open Space
The proposals include an accessible green space designed to become a welcoming, inclusive destination for residents of all ages, creating a lasting legacy and a valued community facility for all to enjoy.
The emerging vision explores opportunities for:
- Working with the existing landscape to develop landscaped areas for everyday recreation
- Comfortable seating and informal gathering space
- Trees and planting to create shade and seasonal interest
- Biodiverse habitats that support local wildlife and pollinators
- Flexible outdoor space capable of hosting community activities and events
Supporting Community Life
Ideas currently being explored for community facilities include opportunities for:
- Community events and local markets
- Outdoor space for informal gatherings
- Areas for art, creativity and cultural activities
- Community growing gardens
- Quiet space for relaxation and reflection
- Nature based informal play
Enhancing Biodiversity
Nature forms an important part of the Burnbank vision.
The proposals seek to increase biodiversity across the site through carefully designed planting, including native trees, wildflower habitats and pollinator-friendly landscaping.
These enhancements aim to create a greener environment that benefits both people and wildlife while contributing to the long-term environmental quality of the development.
Shaped Through Consultation
Community engagement is playing an important role in developing the proposals for Burnbank.
Feedback gathered through the public consultation is helping to inform how the community facilities and open spaces can best serve local people, ensuring they respond to local priorities while creating lasting value for future generations.
As the project progresses, Kelvin Properties remains committed to delivering a development where homes, green infrastructure and community spaces work together to create a vibrant, sustainable neighbourhood.
