Gloucester Quays

Gloucester′s largest regeneration project.

The Gloucester Quays project is a major £200m mixed use regeneration scheme that has already obtained outline planning permission and is a joint venture between Peel Holdings and British Waterways.

This important early project is probably the largest single redevelopment scheme ever undertaken in Gloucester, and has recently been named as one of the UKs top 30 most valuable regeneration developments.

Site description

Gloucester Quays occupies 25 hectares of largely industrial land and derelict historic buildings at the northern end of the Canal Corridor, straddling both sides of the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal. The northern boundary of the site is adjacent to Gloucester Docks, Llanthony Secunda Priory and the new Gloucestershire College of Arts and Technology campus.
