The redevelopment of the lower Seam, off County Way includes plans for a beautiful new urban park (4,700sqm), comprising three separate high-quality natural gardens: the biodiversity garden, the digital garden and the town centre link.

Plans also include improved parking facilities for the remaining spaces that will serve visitors to the town centre and the Seam Digital Campus based on County Way.

Work is expected to start in Summer 2025.The next phase of The Seam Digital Campus Phase will include a high quality hotel and a National Centre for Digital Technologies, subject to planning permission.
