Long-term landowners have social, moral and economic responsibilities to their local communities. We call this legacy.

Our own heritage inspires us to create carefully designed and beautifully built new homes - places where people want to live, that are accessible, that retain what’s special about our environment and that complement the local landscape.

These are the standards we are proud to uphold. Our legacy means consideration of design, community, and wellbeing, building and sourcing materials, caring for the environment and our relationship with the wider world. Our approach to legacy makes homes and land more valuable, ensuring value for your generations to come.

Our Legacy Principles

We appreciate history and landscape, incorporating distinctive local features and subtle accents into our master planning. We’ll research the uniqueness of each place and consider the existing fabric to be retained and enhanced. Planning to use local materials to preserve the felling of continuity

Design

We take tested innovations, and where possible, combine them with traditional local construction methods that have been proven to stand the test of time. We’ll use responsibly sourced local materials, low-embodied carbon construction, and unobtrusive modern technology.

Standards

Our developments are designed in a way to blend seamlessly with and enhance existing communities. We design a mix of homes, with streets and green spaces that are fun and safe.

Communities

We go to exceptional lengths to minimise our impact on the natural world. We design energy efficient communities Which enhance and restore biodiversity and wildlife habitats. We aim to connect walking and cycling routes to local amenities, helping people to make transport choices which are better for the planet and themselves.
