The development will build new roads and pathways across Cherrywood to connect neighbourhoods and link to the M50. It includes a 42-metre underpass beneath the Wyattville Link Road and a new public pocket park protecting two ancient monuments.
The scheme creates 1.6 km of new roads including Beckett Road, Bishop Street, Cherrywood Avenue, and Gun and Drum Hill Road. It adds footpaths, pedestrian crossings, and cycle lanes throughout, plus public lighting and traffic signals. An underpass allows traffic to pass safely beneath the Wyattville Link Road without disrupting it for long.
A new 0.7-hectare pocket park will be created around two ancient monuments, with universal access designed in. It will include landscaping and seating areas for residents to use.
The park protects a Wedge Tomb (DU026-024, National Monument No. 216) and a Cairn (DU026-153)—both legally protected ancient structures that are thousands of years old. The design ensures they remain accessible and visible to the community.
Surface and foul water drainage systems will be installed, including a temporary storage tank for water management north of Lehaunstown Lane. Underground services—water mains, telecoms ducts—will run beneath the roads.
