Lightmoor Village Masterplan and Design Codes

Client - Bournville Village Trust & English Partnerships


Lightmoor was planned as the new, 21st century ‘Bournville’: an updated ‘model’ village, for residents of all life stages, with quality of life as a priority and environmental sustainability as a key influence.

Tibbalds led a multi-disciplinary team in preparing a detailed masterplan and outline planning application material for the mixed-use, 800 home new village. Our comprehensive Design Guide in support of the outline application defined an overall coordinating framework for the development and also provided detailed urban design guidance.

The outline application was approved in September 2003. Advance infrastructure, including sustainable drainage, is on site, together with initial phases of housing.

Our role as design champion continues through the process of parcel developer selection and implementation, ensuring that the design of all schemes contributes to realising the masterplan vision.
