The Ravenswood Neighbourhood Centre is the first of over 30 such planned schemes, branded by Ashwell Developments as their “Greenways” venture which aims to provide commercial, leisure and residential facilities on redeveloped brown field sites.
Ashwell’s prime mission, and that subsequently embraced by the Design Team, is to deliver highquality, modern and sustainable developments that are not only commercially successful, but that also demonstrate social and environmental awareness.
The Ravenswood Centre, occupying an area of 70,000 sq. feet, is based on a former airport site in Ipswich. A prime example of the policy for sustainable development is the sensitive refurbishment of the Grade II listed airport terminal building to create luxury apartments. The new build residential element of the centre incorporates a well-apportioned mixture of shared ownership and “outright sale” flats / houses – these are located to radiate around the village’s cricket pitch and recreational grounds.
Commercial elements of the centre incorporate offices, retail units, a nursery school and a healthcare clinic – all duly provided with ample car parking facilities. Leisure facilities include a community centre, a public house and playing areas – these are set amongst picturesque landscaped gardens.
