Developing the plans
Each stage of our consultation has influenced the proposals and significant changes have been made to reflect community feedback.
The original plans proposed a wholesale redevelopment of the site, demolishing the shopping centre to provide a new foodstore and space for the independent businesses, plus new homes on part of the car park.
Following the second stage of public consultation, we revised the design to reduce the scale and number of buildings, halve the number of new homes and remove the development on Burwood Road to protect the views from the Green.
We have continued to listen to community feedback, which has been instrumental in helping to shape the proposals. The submitted plans incorporate additional community and stakeholder feedback on the design and improve the relationship of the development with our neighbours, with further refinements to the layout and massing of the buildings.
Scheme summary
We are committed to continuing to engage with the community. As the plans have been changed since the last consultation to take on board feedback, please contact us if you have any questions or would like further information.
