Bittesby Country Park
The Future of Magna Park
Bittesby Country Park was created as part of Magna Park North, with over half of that site dedicated to the park and open green spaces.
As part of the proposed extension, GLP will expand the park by approximately 58 acres / 23ha — a 30% increase. We will be delivering a 20% increase in biodiversity.
A Landscape-Led Approach
A harmonious blend of diverse wildlife habitats, agricultural land, community space, and educational engagement. With a landscape-led masterplan, over half of Magna Park North is dedicated to Bittesby Country Park and open green public spaces.

Biodiversity Net Gain
The expanded Bittesby Country Park will deliver a 20% biodiversity net gain through habitat creation. This lasting legacy will be a place where local communities can enjoy nature, wildlife can thrive, and the countryside is protected for the future.
