ARU Chelmsford

New Neighbourhoods

FLACQ is part of the masterplanning team seeking to deliver a mixed-use scheme on the former Anglia Ruskin University site, adjacent to Chelmsford's main railway station.

The scheme seeks to reinforce existing connections between the commercial and civic centres, and then onto the park and Essex County Cricket ground to the south. The mixed-use proposal provides in excess of 800 homes, a hotel, an extra care facility and retail/commercial spaces. A series of new open spaces is created providing identifiable neighbourhoods and a new urban park.

FLACQ is also engaged on detailed proposals for the east side of the site which includes the development of existing buildings within the Conservation Area and proposals for new buildings with a range of uses.
