Additional Information
At Repton Park in Chigwell, Essex, Crest Nicholson has been working
closely with English Heritage and the London Wildlife Trust since the
early stages of their 235-acre project.
Repton Park was previously a psychiatric sanatorium which had lain
unused for many years. Situated on the brow of a hill, the site
incorporates around 50 acres of ancient woodland and 95 acres of open
parkland, ponds, pasture and historic gardens. These were designed in
1789 by the landscape architect Sir Humphrey Repton for the owner,
James Hatch, of what was then called the Claybury Estate.Web
