Our Vision
Jones Homes’ proposals for Glastonbury Fold will deliver a high‑quality, landscape‑led neighbourhood that responds to the site’s setting, strengthens biodiversity and integrates sensitively with the existing community in Poynton. Building on Jones Homes’ successful delivery of high-quality homes in Cheshire, the scheme reflects an established pattern of development while improving design, access and green infrastructure.
New Build Homes You Can Trust
The emerging Masterplan proposes a balanced mix of up to 130 new homes that reflect local character and offer good design, reliable construction standards and attractive streets. Homes will be designed to feel part of the town, with varied house types to support different households and a layout that encourages neighbourly, safe and comfortable living.
Biodiversity and Green Infrastructure
Existing hedgerows, trees and natural features help shape the layout, and these will be retained wherever possible and strengthened with new planting and green spaces. Our aim is to create a healthier environment for people and wildlife by introducing a mix of habitats and native planting. Green landscape buffers would be provided along boundaries of the site to soften the views. Ongoing ecological surveys will guide this work, seeking to improve local wildlife connections in the long term.
Strong Connections to Poynton
The vision includes safe, clearly defined routes for walking and cycling, with direct connections into the existing pedestrian network. In addition to the main access point off Glastonbury Drive, dedicated pedestrian and cycling links are proposed, enabling convenient and direct access towards Poynton town centre and the nearby Poynton train station and supporting sustainable local trips.
Delivering Community Spaces
Green spaces and play areas will sit at the heart of the neighbourhood, providing places for informal recreation and everyday enjoyment. These spaces are designed to feel safe, overlooked and easy to reach for all residents.
Existing water features will be used as focal points for Public Open Space, which would also incorporate the existing public footpath to be enjoyed by the public and residents alike.
A Landscape-Led Neighbourhood
The overall approach is guided by a layout that uses planting, open space and careful positioning of homes to create a gentle, attractive edge that respects local views. Sustainable Drainage Systems will be incorporated into the landscape so that water is managed safely and naturally within the green spaces.
The proposed development will reflect the character, scale and density of properties of the nearby townscape. This will include suitable architectural, urban form.
