One of the first major projects in the Church Street Regeneration, the development of Sites A will bring new homes, shop space, facilities for the market and a place for the Church Street Library.
We listened carefully to the feedback the community gave us since 2019 and we carried out a two stage pre-planning application process in 2021. In 2022 we wanted all residents living in the regeneration areas named Site A,B & C to have their say on our regeneration proposal. We held a residents’ ballot from November 19 to December 21 2022 to make sure the community supported our plans. The result saw 56% of residents take part in the ballot and 73.1% voted ‘yes’.
Key Facts
The regeneration of Sites A will deliver 430 new homes. All current council homes will be re-provided, with secure tenants having the option to return to a new high-quality home that meets their needs, with rents set in the same way as they are now. 50% of the new homes will be affordable.
