We believe the best information about a residential development comes from the people living there. Owners and tenants have a lot of useful information to share with their prospective neighbours, not just on the property itself and its locality, but also on the developer and the building’s management.

House is well designed, set back from road. Off road parking to accommodate several cars is a great feature. Internal rooms are large, lots of light and finished to good specification. Garden sizes are manageable and enjoyable. Lot of open space around and areas for children to play. Surround grounds are well kept and L&Q are very good at keeping us up to date.

The design is a big flaw as the traffic is so heavy as there isn’t enough entrances/exits onto the site. The facilities are too close to the front entrance which creates a lot of traffic, especially at school peak times. The properties are not looked after to a good enough quality which brings down the area.

Love the development and its beautiful natural open spaces ( especially now the grounds are being regularly maintained post covid. Houses are well designed but definitely feel with new builds that the build them fast and good enough ethos reigns. Have had several issues which have all been sorted out but these are not uncommon in slightest and many little things within ie quality of finishing seems to be "good enough" but not great as I'd expect

The development is really good. The design of the one bedroom flats is very spacious. Property management is good but no one maintains the hallway decor. We’ve had problems with the bins being maintained properly. We are getting people from other flats parking in our allocated parking
