South West Regional Development Agency

The South West of England Regional Development Agency acquired 4 hectares (10 acres) of land in the core docks in November 2001. The land, which is bounded by Commercial Road, Southgate Street, Llanthony Road and the main Dock basin includes 125,000sq.ft of Grade II listed warehouses; the currently derelict Albert, Double Reynolds, Vinings and Biddle and Shipton warehouses. The warehouses are suitable for conversion to a variety of uses including residential, leisure and commercial.

The land purchase was the start of what will be a large-scale 60 hectare (150 acres) regeneration and mixed-use development programme for the Docks and surrounding areas of Gloucester with a timescale of 10 years. The proposal is to provide 2,000 plus new homes, extensive office, commercial and development opportunities in a vibrant waterside location. 
 
The scheme will be driven by the South West RDA, working in partnership with Crest Nicholson, Gloucester City Council, British Waterways and other local stakeholders, to provide maximum economic and recreational benefit for the area.
