In recent years the Redcliffe Neighbourhood Development Forum (RNDF) has sounded a clarion call for the area, setting out a vision for Redcliffe in its Neighbourhood Development Plan. The church, both physically and metaphorically, is at the centre of this planned renaissance. From these community-led initiatives it is planned that Redcliffe will emerge as a thriving and sustainable ‘urban village’, with a scale and mix of streetscape and urban form to match.

‘One of the recurring aims of the community is to encourage a future for Redcliffe in which it becomes an environment in which people want to live and spend time, rather than just travel through. The community want to create a new neighbourhood heart for Redcliffe and build a welcoming gateway to the city centre. The aim is to create a balanced and vibrant community and make Redcliffe a better place for people to live and work and also benefit the wider city. To secure a plan that encourages and stimulates diversity, innovation and activity and importantly one that can be delivered on the ground.’ Redcliffe Neighbourhood Development Plan (RNDP); Consultation Draft April 2015; page 11. St Mary Redcliffe sees the unique opportunity that the emerging RNDP offers the church and how this can act as a catalyst for its own transformation. The two organisations are working closely to ensure that the two schemes are complementary and eventually combine to form one harmonious development. Listed Grade I for its architectural significance, St Mary Redcliffe provides a wonderful setting for Christian worship and, as an embodiment of local, national and international heritage, attracts tens of thousands of visitors each year from all over the world. However, the role and mission of the church has evolved over many years, and the time is now right to create the appropriate physical environment to match. The parish, and the church’s parishioners, are drawn from a diverse social, economic and spatial demographic and, as such, the church’s facilities and amenities should reflect this diversity. 27
