The objective of the project was to transform the public realm in the lower high street area of the historic town centre and outside Tonbridge Station, with the aim to stimulate increased footfall and create a more pleasant urban environment.

DHA produced a high level concept masterplan to identify key opportunity areas and constraints, attended and presented at a members briefing, provided artwork and attended a 2-day public exhibition. 

Extensive consultation with County and Borough Council Members, the Town Forum and Civic Society, local bus operators and the emergency services ensured the historic fabric of the High Street was respected whilst ensuring the core project objectives were achieved.
