CPUK to create a new chapter for Lancaster’s historic canalside

Construction Partnership UK (CPUK) is set to start work on a £2m waterside family housing development in Lancaster.

Aldcliffe Yard, which overlooks the Lancaster Canal and is in a conservation area, will include a mix of new-build three and four-bedroom houses as well as refurbished three, four and five-bedroom homes created out of two listed, stone canal buildings.

The company will also carry out alterations to the existing highway. Landscaping and creating new car parking are also part of the project.

The composition of the H2O partnership means that part of the profits from the development will be re-invested in the canal network for public benefit.

“Opportunities to buy into a historic and sought-after heritage area alongside the Lancaster canal don't come along very often.” This latest contract adds to CPUK’s growing order book in all sectors, which now stands at more than £30m for the next 12 months.
