Gort Scott in collaboration with Morris+Company were appointed by Hill Residential to develop an ambitious masterplan for Hatton Villages, promoting the site as a ‘New Settlement’ of up to 4,500 new homes in the emerging South Warwickshire Local Plan. 

The evolving masterplan comprises three compact villages, integrating proposed and pre-existing local centres with over 60 hectares of publicly accessible landscape built entirely on privately-owned land near Hatton Station. The masterplan also incorporates two new primary schools, one new secondary school, social infrastructure, primary care facilities, with open landscapes and sports facilities.

The masterplan aligns with national government priorities to address acute housing shortages incentivising homebuilding in appropriate locations and  concentrating homes around under-utilised railway stations, to promote a shift towards sustainable transport over car dependency.

Sustainable active transport is the basis of the development: The three villages are served by two nearby stations; linking the community locally to Warwick and Leamington Spa within 10 minutes, with direct onward connections to Birmingham and London.
