Chippenham Riverside

Lichen Studio is working with Acorn Property Group, HNW Architects and Lambert Smith Hampton to develop the landscape masterplan & planning application for Chippenham Riverside.

The project represents a once in a generation opportunity to transform the site into a vibrant, sustainable town centre destination. It involves the comprehensive regeneration of Emery Gate Shopping Centre & surrounding land in the heart of Chippenham’s historic town centre.

The landscape proposals will extend Chippenham’s public spaces by blending the natural landscape of Island Park to the north, with the urban environment of the Town Centre to the south.

The masterplan has been developed with the vision of promoting Community, Wellbeing & Biodiversity. Key landscape objectives underpin the overarching design vision and set out what the landscape masterplan aims to achieve; Permeability, Integration, Placemaking, Sustainability & Heritage.
