“A thriving Saxonvale owned and shaped by our community, building long-term resilience, opportunity and belonging for Frome – setting a national blueprint for community-led placemaking and local control.”
We will deliver a sustainable plan for Saxonvale, shaped by our values and community – governed for long-term community benefit, reinvesting value locally and strengthening Frome for generations:
- Employment. Over 10,000+ sqm of non-residential space, generating the jobs Frome needs, reducing the outflow of workers, and delivering Mendip District Council’s policy.
- Housing. Homes that are affordable (at least 30%), imaginative, reflective of Frome’s built heritage, high quality, and with self-build options as called for by Frome’s Neighbourhood Plan.
- Community. Saxonvale should be a community, not a development, delivering an ambitious range of place-making community spaces, buildings for community use, and a public open-air Lido.
- Placemaking. Places designed for people, surrounded by spaces that capture the essence of Frome’s character.
- Environment. We recognize there is a climate emergency. Our plan will nurture and protect the site’s natural assets.
- History. We respect the surviving heritage assets of Saxonvale, and will preserve this part of Frome’s unique character.
