Westbury Hospital, Westbury

Brownfield Redevelopment

 

Greenhalgh Landscape Architecture have created a residential masterplan for the redevelopment of a redundant NHS hospital.

 

Located on the edge of the town of Westbury, the sensitive landscape setting required a landscape led scheme that would take into account the neighbouring Salisbury Plain SSSI and a conservation area. Field drains, TPO’d trees and protected species required special consideration when masterplanning for the 60 proposed homes. Planning permission was granted in 2016.

 

Main objectives: 

​

- Landscape and Visual appraisal to inform edge of settlement approach, massing and landscape character.

​

- Density and scale of the proposed development graded across the site ensuring the redevelopment can be successfully accommodated.

​

- Create a strong landscape framework for the new development with additional pedestrian connections, habitat corridors and integrated SUDS drainage.

​

- Strengthen the field boundary, creating a full dense hedge with groups of trees, mature.

​

- Trees allowed to develop, reflecting the wider field patterns.
