Cowen+Partners are working on a unique single family housing scheme set within a  Country Park in Central Bedfordshire.  The scheme encompassed a new ‘single family housing’ development focused achieved densities of 35 homes per hectare set within a wider masterplan.

Cowen+Partners achieved the first consent for the site to alter the parameters. A second detailed application was submitted and approved for the central parcel and associated amenity barn.

We took a landscaped-led approach which aims to improve the everyday lives of residents through quality homes and streets. A new country park differentiates the area by providing quality living within beautiful surroundings, as well as acting as a buffer between the site and Houghton Conquest. In addition, landscape corridors enable active travel with opportunities for leisure and relaxation. At the heart of the scheme is a new primary school, with associated playing fields. All of these contribute to internalisation and reducing journey times.
