This section outlines how we will engage and involve the local community in realising the scheme’s full potential.
As a large site controlled by five different landowners, we are working together to ensure delivery of the entire scheme to ensure individual parcels create a cohesive neighbourhood.
Through each stage of the planning and development process, we will keep in touch with the public and key stakeholders, so people have chance to share their views or contribute to consultations.
Details of active consultations are below.
Planning applications for Homestead View will be submitted over the coming months. You can access live application links and progress updates on our Applications page.
Community Update Exhibition
From Friday 13th September 2024 – Friday 11th October 2024
Following the Community Design Event in July 2023 the team have considered the issues and opportunities shared and have been developing a masterplan for the Homes England site. We want to hear your thoughts on these emerging plans.
Homes England invited Rugby’s residents to join them at a Community Update Exhibition in Dunchurch on Friday 13th September. The event provided an opportunity for the community to see how their feedback has influenced the emerging masterplan and to comment on the plans.
If you were unable to attend the event in person, the exhibition material is available to download and view from the link below.
We would also welcome your feedback, which can be provided by completing the comment form below.
