Stretham
Haysom Ward Miller was appointed by the Stretham & Wilburton Community Land Trust to act as architects for a scheme which includes 50 new homes, new GP facilities, 3 new workspaces for small local businesses and around 6 acres of new public open space, bridleways and footpaths. Land is also designated for a new community hall.
Houses are arranged around a 'village green' and pond and building forms have been influenced by exisiting Stretham houses.
The design brief has developed out of a comprehensive community consultation process led by Community Spirit Partnership CIC, which Haysom Ward Miller developed into a scheme proposal.
At the pre-planning stage, the work completed won a CLT award for 'the Most Effective Partnership'.
Phases 1-3 are now complete and this has proved a popular development.

This phase brings the existing access road into the top of the site in a loop to form a circular public park which becomes a shared amenity space and focal point for the new community of 25 new homes.
