WMUD

We have been appointed by Antrim Borough Council to produce a masterplan for this historic town. Together with co-consultants Douglas Wheeler Associates, Doran Consulting and TTC International we will take a distinctive approach based on the following three principles.

We will take an holistic view of Antrim based on an integrated and joined up approach that exploits the strategic location of the town, the growing service function and attractive living environment on the shores of Loch Neagh. Opportunities for retail/leisure investment, town centre housing investment, enhanced business development, social inclusion, training, community development and cultural activity to complement property development and environmental activity will be essential.

We will use innovative tools and techniques for involving the community, businesses and stakeholders and will ensure that this involvement provides a basis to sustain long-term participation in the regeneration process. The techniques include visioning, scenario planning, game simulations and multiple sorting of images. Our independent conclusions will provide a compelling economic justification presented in an advocacy style for further investment within the town particularly on recycled sites in Antrim.
