Notice Information

Notice Title

IA3948 Completion of the Reinventing Chasewater feasibility and master planning project

Notice Description

The County Council has committed to investing in its countryside estate, with an PS18m capital budget identified for improvements across a number of sites. One of the programme sites is Chasewater Country Park. Feasibility work was commissioned in 2024, requiring completion of an options appraisal for significantly upgraded facilities on the site's South Shore and identifying a preferred option with accompanying business plan for investment. Following review by Cabinet members after council elections in 2025, the scope of the project has been widened. Building on work done to date, the project will now consider the whole country park rather than just focus on the site's South Shore and includes master planning activity in addition to feasibility and business planning on a larger footprint.
