The consortium held workshops with local representatives and members of the public to discuss the early vision for a new settlement. This preliminary exercise was designed to introduce the emerging vision for the site and listen to and engage with surrounding communities at the earliest opportunity.
The vision workshop had a clear focus on the development of a vision for the site, to inform the masterplanning process. No masterplan has yet been developed. The workshops were intended to be an open forum for the project team to collect further information about the site from the local community and to understand issues, concerns, and ideas for the future development of the site at a local level. The information gained through the visioning process, will then feed into the masterplanning process and development.
The session comprised an introduction to the project team and site including an overview of technical baseline work undertaken and inviting an open forum discussion for comments, concerns and ideas/visions to be put forward, followed by breakout topic groups which were focused on key themes to allow local issues to be discussed. The key themes were (but were not limited to):
Mobility and Connectivity – how the masterplan can connect to its surroundings and promote sustainable transport modes, and the infrastructure required
Environment and Green and Blue Infrastructure – how to create attractive and multifunctional open spaces, increase biodiversity and address climate change, including drainage and flood risk
Community and Uses – the type of facilities and services that will support the new community, and their best location to also benefit existing communities
Homes and Places – how a diverse provision of homes can cater for different people’s needs and aspirations, embrace local character and define the identity of the place
