Welcome

This consultation is presented on behalf of Churchill Retirement Living and invites you to view and provide feedback on our initial proposals for the re-development of the former Gas Works Site, Bridge Street, Christchurch.

Churchill Retirement Living’s vision for the site is for a mix of new homes, comprising retirement living, open- market and affordable homes that provide a multi-generational community and meet the housing needs in Christchurch. The development will contribute positively to the character and appearance of Christchurch through the attractive remediation and re-development of this long-term vacant town centre site. 

The proposed development will make a significant contribution locally, in terms of social, economic and environmental benefits. The site is around 500m from the town centre, enabling residents to walk to local shops and facilities and contribute to the vitality and viability of the town centre.

This website provides a wide range of information regarding the site and, our plans, plus information about Churchill Retirement Living. You can review this information using the tabs on this website and by looking at our virtual exhibition.

Your views

We value your feedback on our proposed development so please provide your views via our feedback page.

Your comments will be used to help evolve the proposals prior to a planning application being submitted to the Local Planning Authority. How your comments have been considered will be detailed in a Statement of Community Involvement that will support the future planning application for the site. 

Please don’t hold off in expressing any support for the proposals, as this will assist in the determination of the planning application.
