It will take many years for the Garden Community to be fully developed. Over the next few years the engagement process will align closely with working up ideas and proposals for the actual design of the new place. Below is an indicative timeline for the key stages of the project. This programme will be monitored and updated, and any changes communicated throughout the process.
Early – Mid 2021:
Begin to explore the vision for the Garden Community, investigate themes and ideas with the Community Liaison Group and with the wider community via this website.
Mid – Late 2021:
Continue to explore the themes and ideas. Begin to evolve and consider the layout of uses across the area. Work with strategic stakeholders on statutory matters.
Early – Mid 2022:
Formalise ideas, visions and principles to include in the Development Plan Document. Consult widely on issues and options for the Garden Community. Continue to work with strategic stakeholders on statutory matters. Key transport infrastructure relating to the A120-A133 Link Road and Rapid Transit System infrastructure will start to be delivered.
By the end of 2022 / early 2023
Submit the Development Plan Document to the Secretary of State and carry out a statutory consultation on it, inviting feedback and comments. Full Examination in Public of the Development Plan Document enabling all stakeholders to engage in the process. Following the examination of the Development Plan Document, carry out a statutory consultation on any modifications made by the Planning Inspector, inviting feedback and comments.

Once the Development Plan Document has been adopted, we will continue to work with communities and stakeholders as the Tendring Colchester Borders Garden Community becomes a place to live, work and have fun. Construction of new houses, schools, community facilities, business premises will come forward on a phased basis.
