Watermark Sustainable CommunitySuffolk, UK Advised Orion Land & Leisure on a proposed scheme in Kentford near Cambridge which was promoted, albeit unsuccessfully, through the local plan. The scheme involved 5,000 residential units, commercial uses and leisure, all around significant areas of man-made water, including an Olympic rowing lake - where Sir Steve Redgrave was involved. This scheme was relevant with the selection of London as the venue for the 2012 Olympics, and it was hoped that this scheme would form the core of a major training location. The scheme would have comprised, in addition to the residential units:
Junior School
Community Centre Library Office space Town Square Petrol Station 6,500 seat Arena Hockey Health and Fitness Club Human Performance Centre Sports Hall (assume School Hall) Ice Skating Bowling Green 120 Bed 3/4* Hotel
