PRP developed a strategic masterplan, a development brief, and a project investment strategy for Lancaster City Council’s land and property assets within the Canal Quarter Regeneration Area in the heart of the city centre. The regeneration of the area will play a critical role in enhancing Lancaster’s status as a sub-regional centre and boosting its housing, commercial, cultural, and leisure offer.

The new Canal Quarter will provide a walkable new neighbourhood that will minimise the use of cars, improve connections, and promote active travel modes through the site, and open up new access to uses along the Lancaster Canal, reconnecting this forgotten natural asset to the city centre.

Lancaster Canal Quarter will create a balanced community, offering residents opportunities to live, work, and enjoy new open spaces and access to the canal throughout the year. The idea of the 15-minute neighbourhood has guided the master plan principles with local provision dedicated to serving the needs of new residents.
