BG1: Butlers Green

Butlers Green is defined in Policy LGS1 as an area of Local Green Space. The reuse, or appropriate redevelopment, of the redundant toilet block on Butlers Green to provide a new community use will be encouraged. The preferred developments for the Butlers Green redundant toilet blocks are as follows:

  • Refurbishing and using the existing buildings for alternative uses which complement the function of the open space, such as a cafe in the park (Use Class A3), or a pop-up shop26 (Use Class A1) or a new community facility (Use Classes D1 and D2).
  • Reusing the space for temporary activities, possibly including a weekly farmers market or similar and summer events, including the screening of films at an outdoor cinema for example.

Should the redundant toilet block be demolished and redeveloped, any replacement development should be a high quality design that enhances the character of Butlers Green and Sudbury Town. The development should take into consideration the open character of the wider public space and should not exceed the footprint of the existing buildings.

Any improvements to Butlers Green should be considered alongside an extension of the public realm scheme in order to help integrate the green space with the High Street.
