Design charrettes in Hampshire

Last week we ran the second of our design charrettes for the residents of Emsworth and Denvilles in Havant, Hampshire. The emerging masterplan for 2,200 homes on a green field site situated between the South Downs and Chichester Harbour has, as you can imagine, provided some interesting debate. With a new link road to the A27, significant wetland areas, a linear park, new woodland and an amphitheatre, the emerging proposals were discussed at length. We ran two workshop sessions with around 100 people attending. The principle of development seems to be have been embraced by the locals, with our challenge now being to ensure the quality in the delivery.
