Edmonstone Woods forms phase 5 of the wider Edmonstone masterplan. The proposals have been designed to nestle 6 blocks comprising of 176 new homes within a clearing in the woods. The key principle of the design being touching lightly on the ground to maintain as much of the woodland landscape as possible and minimise any infrastructure.

The six residential blocks of varying scale and orientation nestle within the trees, and include generous wrap around balconies that create a transition space between the homes and the woodland. A variety of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments are proposed, providing much needed housing on a brownfield, well connected site adjacent to the proposed Bio-Quarter development.

A pedestrian and cycle priority central avenue creates safe permeable access through the site and minimises vehicle movements. The landscape proposal designed in collaboration with LUC provides high quality amenity space for residents whilst also ensuring the development maintains open access to Edmonstone Woods for all. Across the scheme a natural, robust palette of materials has been chosen in a range of tones that complement the surrounding setting.
