Didcot was granted Garden Town status in 2015 to help plan for new growth which, over the next 20 years, will see 15,050 new homes and 20,000 new jobs created in the area.
A Delivery Plan was prepared to establish how this scale of growth might be delivered, identifying key projects and the infrastructure required to support this, including how growth will be managed in an effective and efficient manner.
Troy Planning + Design was commissioned to prepare summary version of the Delivery Plan for communication and consultation purposes, supporting the launch of the Garden Town programme for Didcot and involving the wider community in this.
The work took an existing 1,500-page document and presented this across a twelve-page, non-technical, graphic designed, highly illustrated and user-friendly format, with more detail contained in a free-standing 24-page technical summary.
The summary document helps tell the story for the Garden Town and present a helpful link to ongoing planning policy work and funding programmes. As part of the process, key diagrams, including the proposed Governance structure for the Garden Town, were redesigned to simplify the content and complex relationships between different organisations.
