Tuesday 15 July 3-7pm
Communal Lounge Clapham Court
We are holding a public consultation event about our new proposals to demolish Clapham Court and replace it with family homes.
Clapham Court has long been past its sell-by date so we aim to replace it with a mix of one, two, three and four-bedroom homes plus parking, along with a new pharmacy and play area.
We are inviting members of the public to have a say before a planning application is submitted to Gloucester City Council. This will take place in:
Communal Lounge at Clapham Court on Tuesday 15 July, between 3pm and 7pm.
Clapham Court is more than 60 years old and no longer meets current housing demand. Our aim is to ensure that the new scheme will provide better quality housing and a design that respects the conservation area.
Removing the outdated tower block would also enhance the area’s appearance and improve living conditions for nearby residents.
We very much hope that as many people as possible will come and discuss the project and share their views on July 15.
The new proposals include a revised layout with fewer homes and 21 parking spaces.
Across Gloucester, too many families are struggling to find an affordable, suitable home. By creating these new social homes, we can help people put down roots, stay close to their support networks, and reduce the likelihood of families being forced to live in temporary accommodation.
We are committed to working with the council, residents, and stakeholders to mitigate the concerns raised by some Members resulting in the decision to refuse planning permission back in February. We remain dedicated to creating homes that improve lives and the community in Kingsholm.
