Riverside, Colchester

Creating a new riverside neighbourhood for the city

Elder is in consultation with Colchester City Council as well as other stakeholders to bring forward plans for a site east of North Station Road.

Elder's planning proposal provides 340 co-living studios and 36 traditional apartments, providing flexible, well-managed homes for local people and key workers. The plans seek to revitalise a redundant brownfield site, reducing pressure on greenfield land and creating a new focal point for the community. Other benefits include, a high-quality public realm that connects into existing green spaces, the River Colne and the neighbouring park, and new café and shared community areas for all, bringing life to the rear of the site with retained retail/commercial space.
The plans also bring improved walking and cycling links through the site, connecting the station, the park and the city centre, alongside electric charging and cycle-hire facilities. A commitment to exceed 10% Biodiversity Net Gain, increasing greenery and wildlife on site.
