The Defence Infrastructure Organisation has appointed Carter Jonas to advise on the delivery of the regeneration of Catterick Garrison town centre in Yorkshire.
The project is set to be the first phase in the regeneration of the wider area and will be delivered in accordance with the emerging Catterick masterplan vision document. The DIO is working in partnership with North Yorkshire Council to deliver the project.
Catterick Garrison has grown to be the largest army base in the UK and is in need of an area for people to gather and spend their leisure time.
The project has been awarded £19m of levelling up funding to create an attractive, vibrant and inclusive town centre. It will comprise a new town square with a community and enterprise facility, significant landscaping improvements, both in the town centre and in the adjacent Coronation Park, and enhanced pedestrian and cycle links.
Caroline Searle, partner in Carter Jonas’s regeneration team, said: “The successful Levelling Up Fund bid has unlocked a project that will transform the town centre, increasing economic activity, providing new opportunities for social interaction and driving investment in the area.”
James Roy, principal manager for acquisitions and disposals at the Ministry of Defence, said: “The LUF project is a catalyst for improvements to the off-duty retail and leisure experience for military personnel, their families and the wider community who live, work and train in this major garrison.
“DIO, on behalf of the Ministry of Defence, is collaborating from a strategic point of view with the local authority by transferring land to facilitate [the project] and also enable other real estate improvements to Catterick Garrison town centre as part of a wider masterplan.”
