South West Regional Development Agency

Gloucester is a great historic city, a pivotal county town with a rich heritage illustrated by the cathedral, the docks, the underlying Roman city and the remarkable collection of ecclesiastical buildings. The Gloucester Heritage Urban Regeneration Company will focus on this rich history by bringing life back to historic areas of Gloucester, reflecting their special character while creating a new and prosperous urban centre for the 21st century.  
 
Targets for the URC include:

• Reclaim and develop 100 acres of brownfield land
• Repair and re-use 82 historic buildings
• Develop 300,000 sq ft of retail floor space
• Build 3000 - 3500 new homes
• Lever in £1 billion of private sector investment over 10 years
• Improve infrastructure with a new mainline railway station and inner relief road

Gloucester Heritage URC is funded by the South West of England Regional Development Agency, English Partnerships, Gloucester City Council and Gloucestershire County Council.
