Our Vision
To deliver an exemplary bespoke development on the banks of the River Frome.
A meticulously designed scheme taking the historic grain of Frome as its starting point and delivering a characterful vibrant, residential-led mixed-use community, with flexible commercial uses, high-quality public realm, and homes for all ages.
Creating a dynamic neighbourhood of 300 new homes along with 45,000 sq ft of expansive commercial space.
Highlights will include a new riverside café and park facilities complete with play equipment and open grassland. As well as a thriving public square designed as an open-air venue that can be used for market stalls, entertainment and sports purposes, fostering the vitality and cohesion of this new neighbourhood as a community hub for the residents of Frome.
A minimum 45,000 sq ft of commercial space will Include purpose-built retail and eateries that complement the existing high street. Including a co-working office scheme of 25,000 sq ft - one of the biggest in the town - as well as restaurants, cafes and shops which lend themselves perfectly to enhancing Frome’s already thriving scene of independents. There will also be a range of start-up and live/work properties in which small business owners, creatives and entrepreneurs can live above their work premises, increasing flexibility in the town and reducing the need for commuting and meet the needs of working patterns that have evolved.
New pedestrian routes and cycle paths will open up access to the town centre as well as a new bridge that will link the development with Rodden Meadow. This new sustainable neighbourhood will provide opportunities for residents to live, work and play within close proximity to the town centre, boosting local economic activity and reducing the need to commute by car.
