Waverley – the Vision

Waverley New Community will be a sustainable, well connected and well built settlement able to meet the day to day needs of its community and also contribute to meeting the needs  of the wider local area. It will be home to approximately 9,000 people and together with the AMP and Helical Governetz sites will form part of a wider community at Waverley.

The community will be physically, socially and environmentally sustainable. Transport, reinforced by a public transport interchange, will provide a choice of movement and modes of transport ensuring good access through the community and the surrounding communities and beyond. Low carbon development and sustainable energy principles will be promoted throughout the scheme as will green infrastructure. Waverley will have an appropriate and sustainable mix of uses, including tenures and types of housing and an appropriate range of facilities, amenities and social infrastructure. Good governance and management of the community will be important and residents will have the opportunity to become involved in this process.
