Community – The Steadings

Placemaking and community will be the foundations of life at The Steadings, helping to deliver high quality and sensitively designed spaces that provide an attractive, welcoming and healthy environment for everybody

The Steadings will create a new community welcoming those at all stages of life. The new homes will be a mix of tenures and type, including affordable and private sale, as well as accommodation for the elderly.

The new neighbourhood will be an inclusive space, prioritising community health and wellbeing with dedicated space for a new health centre to support the community.

In the heart of the site, the traditional and Grade II listed farm buildings will set the character of this area. The Chesterton Farm refurbishment will act as the focal point of The Steadings neighbourhood centre.

The new state of the art primary school will also be within local centre, adding to its offering and providing a key frontage to the public space. This new square will be directly off the primary access road, with walking, cycling and bus connections making it easily accessible to all residents.

Community Management Trust

The Community Management Trust (CMT) is a not-for-profit company which will own, maintain and manage the green spaces and open spaces, the community buildings, children’s play areas, sports pitches and other assets at The Steadings on completion of each phase or parcel.

Working with Cotswold District Council, Cirencester Town Council and the local community, the CMT will re-invest in The Steadings to build a cohesive community in which everyone who lives, works or goes to school at The Steadings will be a part.
