Engagement

This section outlines how we will engage and involve the local community in realising the scheme’s full potential.

As a large site controlled by five different landowners, we are working together to ensure delivery of the entire scheme to ensure individual parcels create a cohesive neighbourhood.

Through each stage of the planning and development process, we will keep in touch with the public and key stakeholders, so people have chance to share their views or contribute to consultations.

Details of active consultations are below.

Planning applications for Homestead View will be submitted over the coming months. You can access live application links and progress updates on our Applications page.

Community Update Exhibition June 2024 Postponed

Following the announcement made on Wednesday 22 May from the Prime Minister that there will be a General Election to the UK Parliament on Thursday 4 July, there is a need to postpone the Homestead View Community Update Exhibition to be held at Dunchurch & Thurlaston WI Hall on Wednesday 5th June 2024.

We will seek to confirm a re-arranged date, this is likely to be September 2024, following the school holidays. If you have any enquiries or for more information, please contact info@southwestrugby.co.uk

Homestead View

Community Design Event July 2023

Homes England is now at the early stages of developing a vision for their land within the South West Rugby Allocation known as ‘Homestead View’.

Homes England invited Rugby’s residents to join a Community Design Event in Cawston and Dunchurch between 6th-8th July 2023. The event was a further opportunity for the community to share local knowledge and shape the Homestead View vision.

Homes England is preparing a planning application to create a new link road in the Dunchurch area to support the planned development of the South West Rugby Urban Extension.
