Go ahead for £12.8 million regeneration of Grangetown estate

Coast & Country Housing’s ambitious regeneration plans have taken yet another major step forward with the recent announcement of a £13m regeneration programme that will transform the Church Lane North estate in Grangetown.

Proposals within the plan comprise a mix of selective clearance, estate and environmental improvements, Decent Homes Investment and new family homes that together will transform the area from an typical ageing 1970’s former council estate to a modern day mixed tenure sustainable community.

Coast & Country have carried out detailed consultations with the residents and a recent survey on the proposals suggests that more than 80% are in favour.

Coast & Country’s Director of Development and Regeneration Anna Gibson said: “The survey shows just how much our residents will support changes that will be truly transformational and which will make this estate a more desirable and pleasant place to live.”

She added: “This is another key milestone for us in the delivery of our Regeneration and Development Strategy for the Borough. We will be providing high quality homes, improving residents’ physical surroundings and creating what we believe will be a modern day environment for sustainable communities and areas where people really want to live in.”

Church Lane North is just one of several multi-million pound regeneration schemes being undertaken by Coast & Country and brings planned investment by the Company to well in excess of £75m and that’s does not include the Company’s recently completed highly successful developments at Marske and Ormesby and recent site starts at their Priors Wood site in Guisborough and Parklands, Ormesby where a further £7.5m is being invested providing new rented and low cost affordable housing.
