The Cheapside Redevelopment Area is part of the Stroud Station Quarter project. Stroud District Council, Network Rail, Great Western Railway and London and Continental Railways are working together, along with its key stakeholders, on a renewed vision and masterplan for the Station Quarter. The aim is to create an improved ‘sense of arrival’ to the town and a higher quality of public realm. People will be inspired to stay and dwell in the vicinity and pedestrians and cyclists will be encouraged with improved access and facilities. Underused buildings will be re-purposed for community use and landmark buildings will create a sense of place. Access to rail services will be easy, intuitive and inclusive of all. Strong connections will be made between the north and south of the station, improving links and accessibility between the canal, station and town centre. Land around the station will be consolidated to provide new energy efficient homes, with land receipts used to plough back into the station improvements.
The land to the south of the station in the ownership of the council and Network Rail is known as the Cheapside Redevelopment area and is shown on the plan attached. Site Plan
