Park was built with the site’s history and surrounding countryside at the forefront of developer City & Country’s mind. The site, located in north Essex near the Suffolk border, was identifi ed by the developer as an ideal spot for new homes thanks to its potential to offer future residents the best of both worlds.

‘Constable Country,’ having provided inspiration to and been the subject of many paintings by renowned landscape painter John Constable.
City & Country purchased the site as strategic land on the edge of a settlement, and set about seeking planning permission for a signifi cant development. owever, despite its potential offering for buyers, gaining planning approval proved a tricky process due to its location beyond current development limits. “It was not a straightforward process,” says Simon Vernon-Harcourt, design & planning director at City & Country.
Despite the complications, consent was granted in December 2019 following an appeal, for a total of 485 new homes.
