The North Popley Development comprises three sites located at:
- North of Popley Way (Merton Rise)
- Popley Fields (Marnel Park)
- John Hunt of Everest School Site
The Marnel Park site is being developed by David Wilson Homes. The former John Hunt of Everest School has been developed by Linden Homes (Phase 1) and Taylor Wimpey (Phases 2 & 3). The first phases of the Merton Rise site have been developed by Wimpey Homes (Phase 1B) and Miller Homes (Phase 1a). The development of the three sites will provide approximately 2100 dwellings, a Neighbourhood Centre (on the Merton Rise site), and the replacement community school with combined leisure and recreation facilities.
The key to the overall planning of the North Popley Urban Extension is the Development and Design Brief and the Development Framework Plan which sets out the overall vision for the proposed development.
The Development Masterplans illustrate how the proposals within each of the sites will guide development in the context of the layout; landscaping, open space, phasing, design concepts, community infrastructure, transport and movement network and Design Statements, will be produced by the developers as each phase of the development is bought forward.
