The Brockwood Management Company Limited took its name from a badgers sett discovered during the excavations of the development in 1994.
After a detailed consultation with the local authority and a local badger group, it was agreed that although the sett had been dormant for some time, Fairclough Homes (the developer) would construct an artificial sett and plant a protective hawthorn hedge around the site to encourage the return of the badgers.
The development was marketed as Brockwood from that point onwards.
