About Curborough Brooks

Curborough Brooks is in a highly sustainable location, approximately 3.2km to the northeast of Lichfield City Centre, and bounded by The Lakes development. Much of the site is of low ecological value, comprising of extensive areas of intensively managed arable and pastural land. The site is divided by hedgerows with small areas of woodland, which will be retained.

About

The name Curborough is believed to come from the Old English meaning ‘Mill Steam’ and historically the main settlement is thought to have been centred around Curborough Hall Farm.

Alongside our team of masterplanners and technical consultants, we have undertaken a great deal of work looking at the site, its constraints and opportunities. Curborough Brooks has been thoughtfully designed to complement and enhance the surrounding communities.
