Development framework

To achieve the redevelopment of Chelmer Waterside, we have produced a planning framework to show how the remaining land could be developed in a co-ordinated and connected way.

This framework sets the broad parameters of the regeneration and guide future development. It covers  general matters such as layout, scale and character, but also site-specific issues such as interaction with water and integration of existing community uses.

You can download the approved Chelmer Waterside Development Framework.

This growth site is a collection of six individual sites which are to be planned as one new neighbourhood. 

The sites are known as:

• Former Gas Works, Site CW1a (around 400 new homes)
• Peninsula, Site CW1b (446 new homes already approved)
• Lockside, Site CW1c (around 220 new homes)
• Baddow Road Car Park, Site CW1d (around 90 new homes)
• Travis Perkins, Site CW1e (around 120 new homes)
• Navigation Road Sites, Site CW1f (around 35 new homes)
