Design
Strategy
Currently,
the eastern edge of Corby represents a stark boundary between town
and country. The Priors Hall development is designed to create a gentle
transition from built up Corby to its rural surroundings.
The overall concept is to create new parkland, inspired by the Rockingham
Forest area. The new community will be arranged in three distinct
neighbourhoods in and around this park
To
the west,
and closest to Corby, will be the most formal streets with terraces
and boulevards. A district centre will be located here providing a range
of local shops, services and facilities for the new community
To the east, densities and building heights
are lower and the building type will be much more varied, drawing design
inspiration from the villages of East Northamptonshire
At
the north end of the site,
bordering the grounds of Kirby Hall, the densities and building heights
are lower still. Here, buildings will be of individual design with large
private gardens.
