Exeter Car Park Demolished for 300 Co-Living Apartments
29 Apr
Summary
- Nearly 300 co-living apartments will be built on the Mary Arches Street car park site.
- Exeter City Council's planning committee approved the demolition and construction plans.
- Developers will contribute funds for local GP services, travel, and vehicle provision.
Plans for nearly 300 co-living apartments on the Mary Arches Street car park site in Exeter have been approved. Exeter City Council's planning committee voted to allow Eutopia Homes to demolish the existing six-deck car park and proceed with the development. The new project will consist of two blocks, offering communal lounges, a gym, co-working spaces, and laundry facilities. Following earlier revisions requested by the council, the developers significantly altered their proposal, reducing the height of a contentious section and redesigning entrances. The council had previously deemed the car park obsolete and too costly to maintain, voting for its demolition in 2022. As part of the approval, Eutopia Homes will contribute substantial funds towards local GP services, travel enhancements, and car club vehicle provision, alongside contributions to local parks.
