The development ready site will then provide much needed housing and potential space for small enterprises, to support the wider regeneration of the town and link to the opportunities around the Midland Met University Hospital and the Towns Fund Midland Met Learning Campus project.

The project Full Business Case was approved by Government in March 2022. The project team have since undertaken a number of activities in the background to further develop the work packages to deliver this project.
