Rural Regeneration

Keinton Mandeville, Somerset

Discover how Rural Regeneration initiatives are transforming Somerset’s rural landscapes. O2i Design collaborates closely with a local Planning Consultancy to spearhead a groundbreaking study on a 9-hectare Blue Lias quarry, aiming to revitalize communities sustainably.

Our comprehensive rural regeneration study leads efforts to identify opportunities for sustainable development while preserving the integrity of the Roman Villa site.

The study unlocks the potential of rural spaces with an innovative mixed-use development proposal. Our team of Design and Planning Consultants envisions a vibrant community hub with commercial, residential, and recreational amenities and affordable homes. We conducted public consultations, involving the Parish Council, County Council education department, and utility providers.

Our regeneration proposal prioritizes sustainable materials and low-energy systems for a harmonious environment. The study results in the successful sale of the site, and the development is seen as a community benefit.
