    The Spinney


    Redeveloping a brownfield site

    About the development


    We transformed the former Lucent Technology Works site into an exceptional residential development that seamlessly blends contemporary living with the natural beauty of its established woodland setting.


    This thoughtfully planned collection of stylish homes represents a perfect example of sustainable brownfield regeneration, breathing new life into a previously industrial location while preserving its mature landscape character.

    Key Project Info

    • Status: Complete in 2020
    • Location: Malmesbury, Wiltshire
    • Size: 2.7 acres, delivering 10 units

    Location

    Located approximately one mile south-east of the historic market town of Malmesbury, this exclusive development comprises ten carefully designed houses positioned on what was once the car park of the former Lucent Technology Works employment site. 

    The strategic location offers residents the perfect balance of peaceful countryside living while maintaining convenient access to Malmesbury’s rich heritage, local amenities, and transport links, with access to the M4 being just 15 miles away. 

    Working with the Environment

    Our development approach prioritised environmental responsibility and community integration.

    Rather than clearing the site entirely, we worked sensitively within the existing mature woodland landscape, ensuring that established trees and natural features were preserved and incorporated into the overall design scheme.

    This respect for the site’s natural assets creates a unique living environment where modern homes are nestled harmoniously among towering trees and established vegetation.

    The Result

    Following our acquisition of the site, we collaborated closely with local planning authorities to refine and enhance the original planning consent. The result is a development that feels more like a natural evolution of the landscape rather than an imposition upon it.

    Each of the ten houses has been crafted with attention to detail and quality. The homes offer spacious, light-filled interiors with thoughtfully planned layouts that cater to modern family living while taking full advantage of their location.
