Land at Chesterton, Community Planning Weekend

Land at Chesterton Community Planning Weekend – to help create a concept for a sustainable, new neighbourhood to the south of Cirencester and its relationship with the town.

The Community Planning Weekend was an opportunity to share local knowledge and contribute to planning the new neighbourhood through workshops and hands on planning groups. There was also an exhibition explaining the background of the site. Team members were on hand to answer questions.

Following the public workshop days, the JTP led team analysed and summarised the outcomes and drew up a conceptual masterplan for the new neighbourhood at Chesterton. This was presented to the local community at 7.00pm, Wednesday 14 May at The Ashcroft Centre.
