“Human society and the beauty of nature are meant to be enjoyed together”

EBENEZER HOWARD

Welcome to Welborne
Garden Village Trust Ltd (WGVT)

History has shown that enduringly popular and thriving places to live, work and enjoy are created from a combination of strong long-term vision (place making) and on-going stewardship (place keeping).  Welborne is no different.

WGVT has been established solely for Welborne as a not-for-profit stewardship company to manage and maintain all Welborne’s green spaces, community buildings and public amenities.

We are resident focused and community driven. WGVT’s key role is to look after Welborne as a place, ensuring it thrives and that the quality of design endures over time.

For further information, please see the Introduction to WGVT Guidebook

Welborne Thakeham Street

WGVT has three main functions:

  • Illustration of Welborne Park with a pond, ducks, butterflies, children and adults enjoying outdoor activities, playground, trees, flowers, and houses in the background.

    1. STEWARDSHIP

    Over 50% of Welborne consists of publicly accessible green space, including Dashwood woodland and Welborne Park, and has beautifully designed, walkable neighbourhoods with tree-lined streets, many verges, pocket parks and carefully maintained hedges.

  • Black and white illustration of two houses, one labeled 2025 and the other 2035, showing the evolution of house designs over time.

    2. KEEPING THE VISION

    WGVT is committed to the long-term place-keeping of Welborne by ensuring its original values and principles for the creation of a vibrant, sustainable and integrated new community last for many years to come.

  • Colorful illustration of a community orchard with people harvesting apples, tending to vegetable beds, and relaxing among trees and gardens.

    3. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

    WGVT has a Community Development Manager at Welborne available to engage with residents from day one, sharing information on the surrounding community and amenities, and connecting our residents with community facilities in and around Welborne.
