Eutopia Homes has submitted a full planning application to Exeter City Council for the redevelopment of a prominent brownfield site in the city centre.
A contract to acquire the site— currently a multi-storey and surface-level car park — was exchanged with the Council on a subject-to-planning basis in December 2024. Its location offers a rare opportunity to deliver a high-quality, design-led scheme that supports Exeter’s ongoing regeneration and housing ambitions.
Since exchange, Eutopia Homes has appointed a specialist design and planning team led by Darling Associates. The proposals focus on placemaking, sustainability and high-quality urban living.
The planning submission follows extensive engagement with Exeter City Council, an independent design review panel, and local stakeholders. The scheme seeks consent for approximately 300 co-living homes, supported by carefully considered amenities that promote wellbeing, social connection and community.
The co-living model is designed to meet the needs of a modern urban population — offering flexible, professionally managed accommodation with shared facilities and services in a highly sustainable city-centre location.
A decision on the application is expected later in 2025. Eutopia Homes will continue working closely with the Council and community to ensure the scheme delivers meaningful benefits for the city.
This submission represents another step in Eutopia’s mission to regenerate underutilised urban land and create innovative residential communities that reflect the future of city living.
