Lacuna Developments and Radius Housing - Lakeside Coleraine Pre-Application Community Consultation

LANDSCAPE AND OPEN SPACE STRATEGY The proposed development is shaped around a strong, connected network of green spaces, with the existing lake forming the central feature. The open space strategy is landscape led, protecting natural assets while creating welcoming places for everyday use. LAKE AND GREEN CORRIDORS • The lake is retained and enhanced as the main open space focus • Informal paths allow people to enjoy views and walk along a landscaped green corridor on the periphery of the lake • Planting creates a natural, tranquil setting • Landscaped green corridors connect homes to the lake

• Safe, attractive routes for walking and cycling • New trees and planting enhance biodiversity • Integrated Sustainable Drainage (SuDS) to manage surface water naturally NEIGHBOURHOOD OPEN SPACES • Smaller open spaces located throughout the development • Informal, landscape led play opportunities • Integrated into the wider open space network and nearby equipped play area • Easy access for residents of all ages • Designed with natural surveillance from surrounding homes

Concept: Provide a shared cycle and pedestrian route along the waterfront. Elevate path above water level to permit views over existing reeds. Conserve existing waterfront vegetation and shallows where possible. If necessary relocate plants to new water's edge. Grass slope down to "soft" shoreline. New path will link proposed roadways and public open space. New specimen parkland tree planting along path. Provide appropriate warning signage and lifesaving equipment.
