Meet Kate Culverhouse
Community relations manager
Kate is your community relations manager for the High Shincliffe proposal and is keen to know your community better and find out how you think it could benefit from our proposals. If you are unable to make it to one of the consultation events, but would like to ask questions or share your views, you can write to or email Kate on Highshincliffe@banksgroup.co.uk
We believe that the communities that host our projects should share the benefits. The High Shincliffe development would bring a wide range of social, environmental and economic benefits (see below).
Progress so far
Over the last few months, we have been undertaking site surveys to gather information that has allowed us to develop a masterplan for the site. In doing so, we have considered ecology, heritage, landscape, highways and design. We are now keen to share our plans to understand feedback from the community and continue to develop our plans for the site.
