Great Notley Garden Village, Essex

• 500,000 sq ft employment park
• 100 acre country park with amphitheatre and wide ranging community facilities
• Delivery 1993 to 2017

Inspired by the garden city movement, Great Notley Garden Village is an award winning community developed by Countryside over the last 25 years. It has evolved into an established sustainable community and has become one of the most sought after places to live in North Essex.

Working in partnership with the local authority, we developed a landscape led masterplan which included three distinct neighbourhoods, each with their own character and style.

This approach, together with the early delivery of a wide range of community facilities and infrastructure including a country park, schools, shops and sports facilities, enabled the development to be delivered in multiple phases and at a premium to the surrounding area. The last phase of the development comprises a 500,000 sq ft business park.

Widely recognised as an exemplar in the creation of new communities, we continue to work closely with the original landowners and the local authority in bringing forward further developments in the surrounding area.
