421-home Chelmsford riverside scheme gets go-ahead
U
nanimous planning consent has been granted to Chelmer Waterside, a new residential-led riverside quarter designed by PRP for Taylor Wimpey. The masterplan delivers
421 new homes and public spaces on the edge of Chelmsford city centre. The masterplan will offer homes across a number of tenures and
typologies, together with a new public square, green spaces and complementary non-residential uses. South-east of the city centre, the site occupies a peninsula,
bounded by the River Chelmer and the historic Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation. The principles of the masterplan acknowledge a key vista to the Grade II listed Moulsham Mill and present a varied and vibrant frontage the river edge. A new public square will integrate the Essex Record Office, home to an archive of over 1,000 years of Essex history, fitting seamlessly into the scheme. Buildings of varied heights and forms will be knitted together
across the landscape, which extends towards and interacts with the riverside setting. PRP’s proposals also intend to increase permeability through the site, while buildings will be orientated to maximise views to the water for residents and visitors throughout. The design has been developed across PRP with input from a range of in-house disciplines, including architecture, urban design, landscape and sustainability. Scott Cromack, associate director at PRP, was pleased to be
involved in the “exciting project,” praising the design intent, which aspires “to deliver a high quality residential development.” Stephen Wood, senior planning manager at Taylor Wimpey East
London, added that the “ambitious scheme” is the result of “shared aspirations for high quality design,” and of “collaborative working practices.” He said these factors “will work together to create a vibrant,
bustling new riverside quarter for Chelmsford, and revitalise this historic stretch of the river Chelmer.”
