You have the opportunity to comment on the future development of an important area of Bury St Edmunds.
The area is Station Hill next to Bury St Edmunds Railway Station which has been identified for redevelopment for a number of years.
A concept statement has already been adopted to guide future development of the site and Hopkins Homes have produced a document (masterplan) which sets out principles for development and are seeking the views of the public. Take a look at Hopkins Homes Public Consultation for Station Hill
You have the opportunity to comment on the future use of an historic town centre site in Haverhill.
The site is at Chauntry Mill, which is a substantial Grade II listed building occupied by D Gurteen and Sons. The building is no longer used for manufacturing and is now used as a warehouse and administrative base for the company.
The site lies within the town centre of Haverhill, which has been the focus of significant regeneration and investment in recent times. Chauntry Mills is one of the most important buildings in the town centre and should be kept,, although it may be difficult to accommodate new uses within it.
To help those who may wish to invest in the site, the agents Bidwells have produced a document (development brief) which sets out principles governing any future development proposals for the site. Take a look at Bidwells Public Consultation for Chauntry Mills.
