Access to green spaces has been found to promote healthy childhood development, physical activity (for all ages) and improved mental wellbeing. At Bellway Homes’ Forest View in Colchester, Essex, this conviction has been built into the very design of the new development, which will present a range of happy homes for healthy families. Forest View, launching on Saturday 23rd September, will see a mixture of two-bedroom apartments and two, three, four and five-bedroom houses built on a development surrounded by open parkland. Forest View will enable residents to enjoy the wide open spaces and greenery of the parkland around them, creating the ideal atmosphere for active family living.
