The original plan, strongly favoured by our Community and Business Forums, was to build a new 22,000- seater community stadium, where Gloucester Rugby, Gloucester City Football Club and local colleges could come together to create a regional centre of sporting excellence.

However, this decision has now opened up other major opportunities for the area which include, first and foremost, bringing employment into this currently derelict area of the City.

Railway Triangle

Overview

Railway Triangle

Opening up major development opportunities.

A masterplan is being completed that will establish new land uses, activities, connections and green space for the Greater Triangle. The masterplan will set down how these new opportunities will be developed, who should deliver them and when change might take place.

Public consultation carried out during April 2009 shared emerging ideas and obtained the public perception and opinions on them. The final masterplan was presented to the URC’s board in early summer 2009.

See bellow Information Boards exhibited at a recent event to obtain public views on the emerging Masterplan

Kings Quarter

Draft heads of terms for the development between Stanhope PLC and the City Council were approved by the Council’s Cabinet on 12th January and endorsed by the full Council on the 19th January 2012.

The City Council has published a ‘Planning Concept Statement’ for Kings Quarter. The purpose of the Statement is to provide guidance on the redevelopment of the area – incorporating Kings Square, the Bus station, Market Parade, Spread Eagle Road – including the planning & urban design parameters & proposed uses to guide landowners, developers and the community and to guide the preparation of a masterplan and provide market confidence as to what is expected from future schemes.

  • It's about time someone did something with all that wasted land. Ian P. Freely on 08/03/2010 14:37:36
  • Yeah, I agree. It's pretty depressing to drive past on the way to work everyday. It'll be good to see something done with it. James Ryan on 08/03/2010 14:54:42
  • I'm really looking forward to that ''urban greenway'' thing! Hopefully they will get around to doing it soon. Hymie Bjornska on 08/03/2010 14:57:17
  • I think this whole thing will be a massive waste of money. It would be nice to see this area redeveloped, but at what cost? Owain McLeod on 08/03/2010 15:09:04
  • This area should be used to build a new railway station. With platforms on the Birmingham/Bristol Line and Birmingham/Newport Line. Glos needs a new station on this site and not a parkway. Craig on 20/03/2010 21:02:53
  • So sad to sea all that sight over grow can somone tell me is all the old sidings are still ther ore have thay bin removed ore are thay overgrown thanx Alex on 24/03/2010 15:19:39
  • Ideal location for new Glos train station on 2 sides.Eliminates reversing trains out of Gloucester for Birmingham/Bristol/London trains yet close to city centre. Parkway idea is a very poor concept. C Baglin on 08/07/2010 20:22:41
  • I think it is an outrage!! scandalous, someone really needs to get their act together and sort it!!! NOW!!! i have had enough of all this waiting!! get it sorted! Fred Lewis on 12/11/2010 10:03:38
  • i think its a poor idea. they should give the money to me teddy on 08/02/2011 12:59:59
