Church Street Park Cricket Ground

Our Estates Optimisation advisory services focused on how the park’s estate could support both elite cricket and everyday community use. The Town needed a strategy that addressed fragmentation, operational pressures and future growth while maintaining accessibility. We developed an integrated framework spanning site analysis, stakeholder engagement and scenario testing to understand how facilities, circulation and landscape could evolve cohesively.

The resulting vision balances high‑performance sporting infrastructure with community amenity, ensuring the estate remains flexible, distinctive and resilient. By integrating landscape improvements, civic identity and long‑term operational considerations, we supported the Town in shaping a venue capable of adapting to future demand while retaining its wooded character and public value.

Our Transport Planning advisory services addressed the critical challenge of managing future event growth while maintaining park accessibility. The Town required a strategy that reduced vehicle movement, supported sustainable travel behaviours and ensured safe, efficient operations during major cricket events. We assessed circulation patterns, parking pressures and regional transport connections to identify viable interventions.

The strategy prioritised park‑and‑walk and park‑and‑ride solutions, reducing congestion and strengthening sustainable access. By embedding transport considerations within the wider vision, we supported a venue capable of hosting larger audiences without compromising community access or environmental performance. Our advisory role ensured transport planning aligned with operational resilience, civic identity and long‑term growth.
