The quality of Public Realm and Open Space is increasingly regarded as a key issue for the success of residential schemes. The residential development in Tullyallen offered the opportunity to demonstrate innovative solutions for special arrangements, circulation, bio-diversity and community. The principle objectives of the landscape design proposals for the scheme were as follows:
- Creation of individually designed quality outdoor spaces for all residents.
- Generous outdoor and community areas with active recreational facilities.
- Safe, attractive streets, squares and open spaces with pedestrian priority and innovative play areas.
- Creation a well connected environment.
- Integration of existing habitats and land features.
- Enhancement of habitat diversity through extensive open spaces, planting coverage and the use of native and indigenous species.
- Incorporation with low impact materials and sustainable drainage and water management systems.
The scheme is currently considered by the planning authorities. |
