1 What is Liveable ?

Liveable Exeter is a housing programme that will deliver 12,000 new homes in new urban communities on existing brownfield sites. The programme will address major challenges of infrastructure and renewal, low carbon development as well as drawing together the core threads of the City’s vision for 2040 which includes Exeter as a prosperous, sustainable, community led and active city. Liveable Exeter is a programme of transformational change that will deliver major benefits to the citizens of the city, the region and the environment.

The work of the Liveable Exeter programme involves taking a holistic approach to place-making in the city – building on the best of what the city already has to offer and creating a city ready for the future. You can find out more about the programme, the sites and community engagement plans at www.liveableexeter.co.uk.

2 The Liveable Exeter Place Board

To help support such an ambitious programme, the Liveable Exeter Place Board has been established to bring together all the major organisations in the city as well as private and voluntary sector figures. It allows for frank and candid confrontation of the issues they face in a manner that supports collaboration and a common purpose. The issues involved within Liveable Exeter will have city-wide impact and will benefit collaboration with city partners.

The Liveable Exeter Place Board is not a decision making body. The Liveable Exeter Place Board brings together the city’s leading public and private sector organisations, and offers the opportunity to collaboratively and proactively plan for the city’s future – with the aim of delivering on our 2040 vision and making the city an exceptional place to Live, Work, Study or Visit.
