Eutopia homes has received planning permission for the 315-home Great Western Yard development on the site of a former Network Rail depot near Gloucester city centre.
The company acquired the brownfield site in 2021 and will build out a scheme designed by Darling Associates Architects offering 228 apartments and 87 townhouses.
Eutopia will deliver a raft of environmentally focused measures at Great Western Yard, including more than 500 cycle spaces to encourage walking over car usage.
Lorna Henderson, director at Eutopia Homes, said: “Great Western Yard will help address the stark supply-demand housing imbalance in Gloucester. The city has the foundations to become an economic focal point of the South West but suffers from a shortage of high-quality housing.
“We are investing in Gloucester for the long term through the provision of new housing, as well as direct and indirect support for the local economy, including through the creation of construction jobs.
“The council outlined its long-held ambition for the redevelopment of this Brownfield site and we have worked closely with them throughout this process. We look forward to reinventing this neglected site into one that serves a purpose for the local community.”
