Johnny Clayton joined Carter Jonas in July 2018 to head up the masterplanning and urban design practice across the UK. Johnny is a Masterplanner and Urban Designer, with a broad skills base and over 16 years of project experience encompassing conceptual design, masterplanning, urban design, detailed design and project implementation. His particular specialism and passion is for strategic land projects including new settlements, but also urban mixed-use regeneration schemes. Johnny is also a Chartered Landscape Architect since 2008.
Carter Jonas has prepared a vision document on behalf of Bloor Homes Ltd in order to promote the site for the development of circa 300 new homes and associated facilities on land west of Linton.
The Site is located within a highly sustainable location and therefore is considered suitable to support a landscape-led, mixed use development of new market and affordable homes and community facilities. The development presents the opportunity for delivering new sustainable development to complement Linton within convenient walking and cycling distance of the village. The proposal has the potential to support the delivery of a new, modern doctor’s surgery as well as an Early Years facility to benefit local residents.
The site will also connect directly to the new Linton Greenway planned to connect Linton with Granta Park and other villages and destinations into Cambridge. The masterplan provides a strong landscape-led approach, supporting and enhancing ecology, biodiversity, natural play and sustainable drainage, while at the same time preserving the setting of existing Listed Buildings. The proposal has been put forward as part of the process of preparing a new joint Local Plan for Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire.
Our proposal included:
- 250 new homes;
- A community health centre; and
- 10 hectares of new publicly accessible open space.
