Masterplan for St Botolph’s Quarter in Colchester 17.04.25

Haworth Tompkins is working closely with Colchester City Council and LCR on a masterplan for St Botolph’s Quarter in Colchester, including a new piece of LUF-funded public realm centred around the ruins of the 11th century St Botolph’s Priory. The masterplan builds upon years of ongoing development within the area, to create a scheme which improves connectivity and access to Colchester’s heritage and supports the vibrant and diverse local neighbourhood.

HT is leading a multi-disciplinary team, including landscape architects LDA and Colchester-based HAT projects, working towards a planning application this year for the public realm, which forms the first phase of the wider masterplan. The scheme will create a new walking route directly from Colchester Town station, through a new public square into St Botolph’s Priory Gardens, and then on to Castle Park to the North.
