ABOUT LANDS IMPROVEMENT

Lands Improvement has been appointed by the Lawes Agricultural Trust as the development partner for the site. Our role is to take the site from conception through to the delivery of new homes, green spaces, footpaths and other facilities, creating a welcoming environment that not only meets today’s needs but also stands the test of time.

Placemaking is central to what Lands Improvement do as a company. More than just platitudes, we are committed to putting people at the centre of how we plan and deliver developments.

Healthy Happy Places, the company’s placemaking pillars, encapsulates our ambitions for the places we create and the people who live there. These principles guide all ongoing developments, including the Land North East of Redbourn.

The Happy Healthy Places placemaking framework can be viewed here.

How we got there

Lands Improvement have worked with Create Streets, a research institute that advises community groups and councils on planning and developing communities that matches how people want to live, to produce its Design Framework. This Design Framework will guide the team as they embark on the journey of supporting Redbourn.

By this we mean:

  • Places with dynamic and thriving public spaces
  • Places that make healthy and sustainable ways of living the natural choice
  • Places with engaged and proud communities
  • Places that are inclusive for all generations and demographics
  • Places that protect, preserve and enhance nature

These are our Placemaking pillars.
