Lancaster City Council seeks housing developer for Coopers Fields

Lancaster City Council is keen to hear from Registered Providers and developers with registered provider status in their business group for a 0.9ha site at Coopers Fields.

Aiming to enhance Lancaster’s role as a focal town, Lancaster City Council have opened a pre-market engagement to seek feedback on the delivery of mixed affordable and social housing.

With the goal of boosting housing, employment, services, and leisure, the vision for 0.9ha site at Coopers Fields should integrate with new public spaces and the larger area of Lancaster Canal Quarter’s regeneration area. The wider masterplan and development brief have been designed by PRP and provides a walkable neighbourhood at its centre.

Plans were adopted by Lancaster City Council in 2023, and they now seek responses on opportunities, risks and constraints of the Coopers Field element to ensure the interest of parties and inclusion of its heritage which dates to the canals construction in 1797.
