THE COUNTRYSIDE PARK
A major part of the proposal is to provide a new 100-acre countryside park. This will open up countryside access for people in Kilsby, and provide the main visual, landscape and ecological mitigation for the development.
It is intended to dedicate the countryside park to the public, and to ensure it never gets built on. A legal agreement, likely a S106, will encapsulate this commitment and provide for the management of the parkland. We will welcome local stakeholders, such as representatives from the parish to be a part of this.
​
This major new buffer between the village and DIRFT will help to address some of your existing concerns, as well as offering new opportunities for leisure, nature trails and securing a green outlook for the village.
The plans for the countryside park are still being developed and we would welcome your thoughts as to what the space is used for.
Here are some concepts that we have discussed with residents:
-
Habitat creation
​​
-
New walking/running routes
-
Educational activities
-
​​Children’s play areas
-
​​Informal recreational space
