Daventry Marches Urban Extension
Daventry
As a follow up to a 20 year master plan forthe expansion of the town of Daventry in Northamptonshire, MCa is not only designing the new town centre but also the new urban extension to the south east of the town at Daventry Marches.
The site is an area of contrasts; the Scheduled Ancient Monuments of Borough Hill and Burnt Walls flanked by fairly low-grade buildings used for industry. The design proposals for the area include housing, business and mixed use units, a golf course and urban squares / public green spaces that are sensitive to the historical context.
