Luneside East, Lancaster
Luneside East in Lancaster is a 6.5 ha (16.06 acres) brownfield site next to the historic River Lune waterfront and a short walk from the city centre.
English Partnerships is working together with Lancaster City Council and the Northwest Development Agency to regenerate this derelict and grossly contaminated riverside site, which used to house a gasholder and lies within a flood risk area. Our investment of £4.9m will help assemble and remediate the site.
New homes and commercial spaces
The redevelopment plans set on the historic St George’s Quay will provide a high quality sustainable development including 350 homes – 70 of which will be affordable homes – along with commercial space of 8000 sq m, shops, cafes and bars. There will also be access to a one-hectare public park with walking and cycling routes.
CTP Ltd and Development Securities Plc, have been appointed as preferred developers of the site.
Preparing the site
A Compulsory Purchase Order has been obtained and the site assembly has been completed.
The Flood defence works on the River Lune have been completed and the gas holder has been removed from the site.
