Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club has submitted plans for a £50m redevelopment of its training campus.
The application to Wolverhampton City Council has been lodged jointly by Wolves, the University of Wolverhampton, Inspire and Redrow Homes.
It will see an indoor pitch and expansion of the football academy at Wolves’ training ground, made possible by the relocation of St Edmund’s Catholic School onto adjoining land owned by the University of Wolverhampton.
In turn, the university will sell the balance of its site to Redrow Homes to build 55 houses in order to cross-fund the school.
The sale of the university’s land will then contribute towards its own investment plans in a new science facility on its City Centre campus.
Turley Associates is handling the planning application, for which a decision is expected in early November.
