## Description
Lancaster City Council has issued a pre-market engagement notice and a Request for Information (RFI) to understand the market interest and capacity of interested parties in taking forward the 0.9ha Coopers Fields site within Lancaster’s Canal Quarter regeneration area to deliver a mix of affordable and social housing in line with its adopted objectives. The council is particularly keen to hear from Registered Providers (RPs), developers with registered provider status in their business group, those with demonstrable capacity to partner with RPs, or those who are interested and may not fit in the above categories but would still be capable of delivering the same outcomes.
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. Our ambitious vision is for a vibrant, sustainable and active Canal Quarter, integrated with the Lancaster Canal and served by areas of new public open space. A Quarter where contemporary development and hidden heritage can combine to create a diverse residential, commercial, cultural and recreational neighbourhood.
Feedback is required to assist in identifying the site’s potential opportunities, risks and constraints, with the intention of informing a future procurement and / or disposal strategy to secure the best delivery model for a successful outcome.
