Hadleigh Gateway

A key area of land central to the regeneration of Hadleigh Town Centre has today (15 Dec) moved forward a stage in its redevelopment.

The Hadleigh Gateway -  a 1.47 acre site comprising Hadleigh Old Fire Station, Library and former Crown Public House, located at the west of the central ‘island site’ opposite Morrisons - is the subject of a local and national commercial marketing campaign to source appropriate development proposals to further revitalise the town centre.

Agreement between the three stakeholders, Castle Point Borough Council (CPBC), Essex County Council (ECC) and Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) was reached in January 2015 seeking a regeneration solution for the site and the Castle Point Regeneration Partnership has been tasked to progress.

The Regeneration Partnership has appointed Building Design Partnership (BDP) – in association with GL Hearn - to market the site and secure appropriate development proposals to meet the aspirations of stakeholders.

The vision of the Regeneration Partnership is:

• To deliver a compact town centre providing a mixed use development
• To create an enhanced environment and vibrant streetscape
• To make Hadleigh a place to go to, as opposed to go through.

Councillor Colin Riley, Leader of Castle Point Borough Council and Chairman of the Regeneration Partnership said: “We remain committed to delivering significant change in Hadleigh, to ensure it meets the aspirations of the community. It is great to see we are moving forward in revitalising this key town centre site and I await development proposals with interest.”

Initial expressions of interest to redevelop the site were submitted in January 2015. Full proposals are to be submitted in April 2015.
