Sustrans, the national sustainable cycling organisation, is holding an architectural competition to design a new pedestrian and cycleway through a 1km-long disused railway cutting - currently an unused semi-urban woodland area in the centre of East Grinstead, West Sussex. The competition, organised in partnership with East Grinstead Town Council and supported by The Architects' Journal, invites architectural submissions that should include outline design concepts to enhance the area, to determine the route of the new public pathway and to provide indicative illustration of how the scheme might be developed. The competition aims to show that such a site can be brought back into public use. Here we outline the basic proposition of the scheme, together with indicative layouts, costings, etc. However, full details of the project (a project pack including briefing notes, levels, plans, services, preferred budget, timescale, contact details and rules) is available from the organiser. The competition prize money has been donated by East Grinstead Town Council and Sustrans.
