Developer blocwork has teamed up with Network Rail’s property arm Platform 4 and listed landlord Grainger to bring forward the brownfield redevelopment at the junction of Station Street and London Road.
The scheme, which will be submitted for planning shortly. will deliver one- and two-bedroom flats for rental living on the underused rail-side plot.
Richard Thomas, director at blocwork, said: “blocwork was created with the aim of repurposing railway land and buildings into sustainable, long-term assets, and the site at Station Street represents another great opportunity to bring forward high-quality new homes, building on the success of our partnership in delivering the nearby Barnum scheme.”
If approved, the project would form part of the wider regeneration push around the station quarter, turning surplus rail land into long-term rental stock in a tightly constrained city-centre market.
