One Horton Heath is set within the semi-rural Parish of Fair Oak and Horton Heath, joining the existing Horton Heath settlement to the west. Once complete, One Horton Heath will provide circa 3000 homes, a vibrant local centre, primary school and sports pitches, better infrastructure, three new commercial hubs and a host of connected spaces and informal areas for wildlife to thrive. The ethos is on delivering the benefits of the scheme and creating prosperous communities, rather than being profit driven. Which, from a development perspective is refreshing, to be creating places for local people to live and work from an ethical and sustainability point of view.I am responsible for all design, planning and technical matters relating to the One Horton Heath project including operational and functional management of the 7 members of the planning and technical management team. This also encompasses other supporting development and regeneration projects in the Borough to facilitate housing generally and provide investment funding for Horton Heath.
