Today marks a significant milestone as the Government launches the new National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) from Alconbury Weald - a place that JTP is proud to have designed as part of our commitment to creating sustainable and thriving communities. As a practice, we believe in designing places that enrich lives, and Alconbury Weald embodies this vision. Setting a new benchmark for thoughtful, people-centered planning, Alconbury Weald is a thriving, exemplary community home to over 1,000 dwellings, a new primary school, a local centre, sports facilities, community buildings, extensive green spaces and 290,000 sqm of employment floorspace including the Cambridge County Council headquarters. The updated NPPF has the potential to shape the future of our built environment, ensuring that planning prioritises sustainability, placemaking, and inclusivity. To see it launched from a project JTP has designed with Urban&Civic is both inspiring and rewarding - underscoring the importance of collaboration between masterplanners, designers, planners and communities in creating a legacy of well-designed places. It is great to see the spotlight on Alconbury Weald and we look forward to the positive impacts the NPPF will bring across the UK. #NPPF #newcommunities #masterplanning #alconburyweald #housingdelivery #placemaking #design #architecture

What does "legacy" look like when designing new communities and neighbourhoods? In The Academy of Urbanism (AoU)'s Autumn Edition of their Here & Now publication, JTP's Managing Partner Marcus Adams examines the concept of legacy by reflecting on two significant places conceived over a decade ago - Graylingwell Park, Chichester and Cholsey Meadows, South Oxfordshire. Legacy is about building places that endure - rich with stories, connections, and purpose. Marcus' piece details the successes and challenges of designing these new communities, with a number of lessons that were learnt along the way.
