City of Wolverhampton Council and ECF, a partnership between Homes England, Legal & General and Muse, have submitted a hybrid planning application for City Centre West in Wolverhampton.
The proposed plans are for phase one, which includes more than 330 homes, as well as retail premises on disused land between Peel Street and Market Square.
The submission also includes outline plans for the remaining phases of the masterplan. They comprise more than 1,000 homes, including affordable homes, along with shops, cafés and restaurants, and will support the delivery of an enhanced Market Square.
The council is expected to review the application in early 2025 and, if approved, construction of the first phase could also begin next year.
Basit Ali, development director at ECF, said: “This is a significant milestone for the regeneration of Wolverhampton city centre. Our partnership approach, which has been informed by extensive consultation, is designed to create a thriving new neighbourhood and draw people into the city centre in greater numbers.
“It is a strategy to help elevate the city centre’s offer, with new opportunities to live and spend time. Our approach will also support Market Square to become an exciting place in its own right.”
