The plans for the redevelopment of Poplar Road are on display in the Community Shop window at Poplar Road, Great Cornard.
Planning Permission was granted for the redevelopment of the Poplar Road shops in November 2004. There will be 41 new homes built on the site, and 29 of these will be affordable, the remaining 12 are flats for private rent. There will also be 6 new shop units, and a community building with a letting unit.
Negotiations have now almost been completed and agreement reached with all the existing shopkeepers, the majority of whom intend to take a lease on the new shop units.
Flagship Housing Group have appointed Lovells to carry out the construction works. It is anticipated that start on site will be achieved in the autumn of 2008. Further information can be found on the Poplar Road Flyer (PDF, 34kb).
