This new 1-kilometre road linking William Prance Road in Derriford to the Forder Valley Road/Novorossiysk Road junction, with a strong emphasis on preserving and enhancing the natural environment. This new route not only improves connectivity for the growing northern part of the city but also integrates thoughtfully into the surrounding landscape, with biodiversity and sustainability at the forefront of its design.
Designs to preserve and enhance natural habitats, ensuring that local wildlife corridors remain intact and that the landscape is restored wherever possible, creating opportunities for planting native species that support local biodiversity.
