There are serious concerns about what is beginning to look like the “finished state” of the landscaped areas at Twigworth Green… particularly the new tree saplings that were planted, many of which are now dead, dying, damaged or missing.
There has been an on-going dialogue with Vistry about this since 2023, however, as the development is nearing completion, it is important that residents raise their concerns about this, please update us if you know of any areas not covered in the video presentation attached.

The condition which relates to landscaping is covered within the original outline application, 15/01149/OUT and states:
“…If within a period of five years from the date of the planting of any tree that tree, or any tree planted in replacement for it, is removed, uprooted or destroyed or dies, or becomes, in the opinion of the local planning authority, seriously damaged or defective, another tree of the same species and size as that originally planted shall be planted in accordance with details to be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority.”

It is important that the estate.is handed over as stated as home owners have invested money into their properties based on what was promised. In addition to the plants and trees that need replacement, none of the grass areas have been laid properly as there is insufficient soil for roots to hold. This needs addressing over the whole estate but especially the entrance. Also the new skirt around the roundabout looks awful and needs finishing off properly. Most of the man hole covers are already rusty or loose with some causing continuous grief to those that live nearby. I suggest all these points are addressed.before the 5 years is up or compensation paid so that we can arrange to get it done ourselves.
