Wednesday 10 February 3.30pm-7pm (‘meet the team’ 5pm-7pm), Chipping Sodbury Town Hall (also Thursday 11 February 12noon-7pm)
The public is invited to view an exhibition of proposals by local developer, Chelverton Deeley Freed.
The proposals will transform the former Barnhill Quarry into a mixed-use area which it is anticipated will help bring significant benefits to the local community including improved shopping facilities, new employment opportunities with the potential for up to 160 jobs within the foodstore itself, and much needed housing.
The development proposals include a Waitrose foodstore, a courtyard development of small shop units providing a direct pedestrian link to and from the High Street, and approximately 190 dwellings. The exhibition will show the proposed layout of the scheme and indicative designs for the housing areas, link development, and the foodstore.
Commenting on the proposals, Paddy Fox, Director of Chelverton Deeley Freed, said: "The majority of local townspeople have been supportive of the principles of the project to date and our intention with this additional round of consultation is to show our scheme in more detail having taken into account public comments and input from the Local Planning Authority and Sodbury and Yate Town Councils."
Following this third round of consultation, the intention is to submit an outline planning application to South Gloucestershire Council in Spring 2010, with the expectation that work on phase I of the development can commence in 2011.
Copies of the display material will also be made available at Sodbury Town Hall and Chipping Sodbury Library, with copies uploaded to the main project website below on Friday 12 February.
