THE GARDEN COMMUNITY

TENDRING AND COLCHESTER

The Garden Community is a visionary project, redefining what a new community should be for the changing climate we live in, whilst retaining the principles of established, successful and thriving communities. The Garden Community will be providing around 7,500 new homes, including much-needed affordable homes, to the east of Colchester in an entirely self-sufficient new community. It will be delivering new schools, a country park, new healthcare and retail, leisure and job opportunities, alongside infrastructure and new facilities to serve new residents as well as benefitting existing communities.

This website will be continually updated as we develop our emerging designs and thinking alongside consultation and engagement with the local community and stakeholders. If you would like to be kept updated and have your say on this exciting landmark opportunity for the area, we would encourage you to sign up to our mailing list below to stay informed.
