Major student village plan revealed for Lancaster quay
A major redevelopment of St George’s Quay in Lancaster would see five new blocks housing 419 student bedrooms with the Carlisle Bridge arches as its “gateway”.The St George’s Works Mill, currently derelict, would be demolished to make way for two six storey buildings with new pedestrian and cycle links into the city, open space, and car parking for 79 vehicles.Luneside East Ltd, a joint venture between Manchester based CTP Ltd and London based Development Securities plc, said the three, five and six storey blocks would reflect the industrial history of the site, with high quality brick and pre-weathered steel used in their design.But Lancaster Civic Society say the development is “rather lifeless”, and hopes the planning application is refused by councillors.
