Parkleys (1955–56) was the first major development by Span and architect Eric Lyons, later President of the riba. Designed with an emphasis on light, landscape and community, it set new standards in post-war housing and is now Grade II listed. The scheme remains one of the most admired examples of modernist suburban design, combining architectural merit with a welcoming village feel.
