Others appreciated the apparent quality of the new homes from the visible large windows and inset balconies.2021

Residents Feedback:The clear street layout, with large visible entrances was well receivedResidents Feedback:The residents who visited the Packington Estate appreciated the development ofit as a new masterplan and not being modelled around existing homes. Feedbackwas very positive about the clear urban layout of the estate, although there weremixed feelings about parking and roads directly outside of the homes. The twocentrally located, shared 'park' spaces on the estate were well received and thatthey catered for different types of recreation and leisure.The two central parks with defined play and leisure uses and good-qualityequipment were considered to provide a good level of amenity for residents.There were some concerns from the residents, that the homes may suffer fromnoise pollution facing onto a large open space with vehicles, the parks and apublic route, but this was also seen to offer benefits by appearing to be a saferand better-surveyed place.24Parking located centrally within the estate provoked mixed opinions fromresidents.25
