This page provides quick access to the key plans that have been approved.

Outline application

The illustrative masterplan was submitted with the outline application and shows the broad form of development across the whole site:

• Document 16 - The Masterplan

There are five parameter plans that set out guiding principles for the site area, land uses, building scale, green space and access:

• Document 17 - Site Area
• Document 18 - Land Use
• Document 19 - Building Scale
• Document 20 - Green Space
• Document 21 - Access

There are a number of plans that set out road improvements in the area:

• Document 22 - Roundabout Access from the A512 
• Document 23 - Roundabout Access from the A6 
• Document 24 - Improvements to the A512 and M1 junction 
• Document 25 - Improvements at Bishops Meadow/A6 junction

There are also improvements to the signalling at the A512/Epinal Way roundabout proposed but there is no approved plan showing this at present. Further details will be added here once available.

The link road through the site is shown on a series of plans (running from the A512 to the A6 in sequence):

• Document 26 - Sections 0-2 (nearest A512)

A secondary access into the site is proposed from Hathern Road.  This is shown on two Illustrative Plans but further details & possibly a revised design will be required before this can be approved in its final form. Further details will be added here once available:

• Document 32 - Hathern Road Access
• Document 33 - Hathern Road Access (flood risk)

Sections of Oxley Gutter have also been approved in illustrative form. Further details of this will emerge as detailed proposals are drawn up and will be added here once available:

Pedestrian and cycle routes through the park form an important part of opening it up to people. There are several routes that will be open at all times once they are complete. These are shown highlighted yellow on the approved park access plan.

• Document 35 - Routes through Garendon Park

The development shall be built out in phases. The first phases to be constructed are to the north-east of the site with new roundabout access off the A6 Hathern Road.
