The long-awaited regeneration of the 16-acre site west of the city centre, which is to feature homes, hotels, offices, and a prominent cultural and artistic offer, has taken a step forward.
Lancaster City Council has gone out to tender for a masterplanner for the site, which is largely council-owned, following the creation of a strategic regeneration framework for the project, drawn up by consultancies Avison Young and Planit-IE.
The project brief for the role of masterplanner, applications for which close on 18 April, says the “regeneration of the Canal Quarter area is critical to enhancing Lancaster’s role as a sub-regional centre and boosting its housing, commercial, cultural and leisure offer”.
