The redevelopment of Barne Barton includes:

• replacing existing flats with a combination of flats and houses
• introducing opportunities for low-cost home ownership
• changing the layout of the estate to create people-friendly streets
• accessible green spaces and infrastructure for health and wellbeing benefits
• improving views and accessibility for residents.

Kelly and Mark are part of the residents’ steering group involved with the regeneration of the Barne Barton estate in Plymouth. The regeneration will transform Barne Barton from a 1960s estate to a modern mixed-tenure community, with high-quality, modern homes.

They got involved in the project after worrying about the impact it may have on their family.

“It’s been better than we expected. Our thoughts, ideas, and concerns have been listened to and taken into account during the design process.

“We got to know and trust the local staff and understand they would share with us everything they could. The steering group is something we enjoy. Clarion made us believe we’re an important part of the process and our opinion does count.

“We would definitely encourage others to get involved with regeneration. Residents can and do help make communities great again.”

A residents’ steering group was formed in May 2017. The group includes Clarion residents from Barne Barton and local councillors, and has been instrumental in shaping our regeneration proposals. 

The group are shown materials before they’re distributed more widely. This is so we can make sure they’re resident-friendly and include all the information people may want to know.  

As well as regular meetings, the group has visited other regeneration projects, attended consultations and events, and discussed specific topics like the area's local history. 

The steering group is open to new residents. If you’d like to join, or would like more information, please email our Barne Barton regeneration team.
