Around 200 people attended the live Zoom presentation of the final draft masterplan for Bailrigg Garden Village on Tuesday 23 March 2021. The Garden Village will be a distinct community, with neighbourhoods providing new homes to meet all needs and incomes, with a mixed-use village centre and opportunities for business creation and growth. It will fit well with the unique landscape and local heritage assets, including the canal, and make these areas better for people to access and enjoy and for nature recovery through innovative environmental improvements and sustainable water management.

This presentation followed the completion of three stages of the masterplanning consultation process, during which time the local community and stakeholders were invited to provide ideas to help shape the initial Vision for Bailrigg Garden Village and then to provide further comments on each of the Vision masterplan, the emerging masterplan and then the final draft masterplan. In addition, workshops and meetings are being held with local councils, community organisations and other stakeholders.

Background
In July 2020 Lancaster City Council adopted a new Local Plan for the district. This included the designation of a Broad Location for Growth in South Lancaster, including the expectation for a new garden village development. The City Council is now working towards the preparation of an Area Action Development Plan Document (AAP) and to inform this work has appointed architects JTP to engage with the local community to prepare a Masterplan Framework for Bailrigg Garden Village by Spring 2021.
