Land South of Chesterton Design Code Exhibition

On Thursday 11 April 2019 the local community were invited to join us at an Exhibition where the emerging Design Codes, that will set a framework for future detailed designs for Land South of Chesterton, were on display. View the exhibition boards here.

Since the Planning Committee in January 2018 which resolved to grant outline planning permission for the strategic development, progress has been made developing Design Codes for the site.

The Design Code Exhibition was an opportunity for you to view and discuss the emerging Design Codes with design team members who were on hand to answer questions. Comments forms were also available.

Background
Land South of Chesterton, adjoining the modern south western edge of Cirencester, has been allocated in Cotswold District Council’s (CDC) Local Plan as a strategic mixed-use neighbourhood that will deliver up to 2,350 homes, employment uses, education and community facilities, and areas of public open space (including allotments). 

In January 2018 CDC resolved to grant outline planning permission. Planning Conditions associated with this permission require the production of a Site-wide Design Code and Detailed Design Codes for phases or sub-phases. 

What is a Design Code?
A Design Code is a set of illustrated design rules and requirements which instruct and may advise on the physical development of a site, with the objective of ensuring quality of design. This reflects Bathurst Development Limited’s vision of a legacy of high quality at Land South of Chesterton.

Detailed designs for individual phases of housing, employment uses, mixed-use and community buildings, landscape and road infrastructure will be submitted on a phased basis. These detailed proposals (Reserved Matters Applications) are to comply with the Design Code covering the full site, and a Detailed Design Code covering that phase or sub-phase.

We have greatly appreciated your feedback to date.
