Plans in for Chelmsford riverside redevelopment


Dominus has submitted plans for the redevelopment of the Meadows retail park and surrounding area, in Chelmsford, Essex.

The developer has proposed to redevelop the nine-acre site to provide 91,500 sq ft of retail, commercial and leisure space, 762 homes and nearly four acres of public space.

Dominus has submitted a hybrid planning application to replace existing buildings with retail, commercial and community space, curated public realm, a temporary mobility hub and 537 homes.

An outline planning application includes a further 225 homes at the south-east of the site.

The JTP-designed scheme is proposed to be car-free.

Tristram Taylor, development manager at Dominus, said: “By working collaboratively with Chelmsford City Council, we have created a vision for a distinctive destination, not just buildings, within which residents and visitors can enjoy. Our vision would transform The Meadows into a thriving riverside quarter fit for a growing and ambitious city like Chelmsford.

“We have worked with the community to understand local priorities, crafting a future for the site as rich as its heritage, one that nurtures local initiatives, brings housing back into the city, supports its economic potential, and delivers long-term positive impact for both Chelmsford and its people.”
