Princess Park

Why has my area been chosen for regeneration?

Located within the City Centre South Zone, Princes Park Renewal Area contains 2,653 properties and is situated between two of the main city centre commuter routes, Park Road and Princes Road.

The area consists of a high level of terraced housing that is less able to meet the needs and expectations of changing households or modern standards in terms of living space and thermal efficiency.

Within Princes Park, the Welsh Streets neighbourhood shows particularly strong signs of housing market failure and, in consultation with the local community, has been identified for redevelopment.

What is happening?

The programme in Princes Park includes the demolition of approximately 470 properties within the Welsh Streets neighbourhood. The phasing plan shows how the clearance programme will be implemented in stages, to limit the amount of disruption taking place in the area.

Approximately 370 houses will be built by Gleesons, the lead developer, on the cleared site, with further new housing developments in nearby locations, which include:

Clevedon Park development, at Park Road, comprised 107 homes for outright sale, rent and shared ownership, of which 105 were taken by residents from the nearby Welsh Streets redevelopment area.
Northumberland Square development, at Northumberland Street, is now on site and will offer 60 properties for sale, rent and shared ownership.

These developments will provide modern homes with gardens and parking facilities to this area, which are not available on the current terraced streets.

Plans for the Renewal Area also include an ongoing refurbishment programme in the sustainable neighbourhoods to improve both the environment and the front elevations of houses. This is complemented by Plus Housing Group, the lead RSL investing in their own properties and carrying out a number of infill new build projects.
