The Homes & Communities Agency has submitted an outline planning application for 116 homes at Bridgtown in Cannock, Staffordshire.
The plans include 20% affordable housing, associated infrastructure and public open space.
The site on Walkmill Lane was home to a Parker Hannifin manufacturing facility until 2000 and has remained vacant since.
Cushman & Wakefield advised the HCA.
Claire Biddle from its planning and development team said: “The proposals will visually and physically improve this brownfield site, providing green space and an attractive frontage along Walkmill Lane.
“The wider area is becoming more residential in character and the proposed mixture of housing and apartments will contribute to this growing neighbourhood.”
