Keswick Town Centre Masterplan

We have been commissioned by the Keswick Area Partnership Ltd to prepare a masterplan for the town centre. This work will include a review of the existing strategy for the development of the town and will inform the review of the Lake District National Park Authority Local Development Framework and provide a basis for investment decisions by partners and investors.

The brief for the study highlights a number of issues including balancing the needs of residents with those of visitors, creating a more diverse and sustainable community, squaring the conservation-development circle and addressing the lack of affordable housing in the town.

These are complex issues with no simple answers. The Lake District is a nationally significant landscape, cultural and environmental asset with unique qualities. At the same time, Keswick needs to evolve and change. We are delighted to be involved in plans for the town.

Our co-consultants are yellow book, Martin Stockley Associates, Ryden and Nicola Atkinson (NADFLY).
