Planning has been approved for a former industrial site in Wolverhampton to deliver 151 much-needed homes, partly thanks to a \u00a3770,000 grant from the West Midlands Combined Authority<\/a> (WMCA)<\/h2>\n

Lovell Midlands<\/a> has been given the green light to develop brownfield land<\/a> on the industrial site in Steelhouse Lane, Wolverhampton, with a \u00a32.5m scheme providing a mix of homes to buy or rent.<\/p>\n

The site, which has been lying vacant for more than a decade, is being brought back into use after the WMCA used funding to clean up the land and make it ready for development.<\/p>\n

The Combined Authority has a \u00a3760m fund to support new housing and commercial developments that bring homes and jobs to local communities. A large part of that is for cleaning up and decontaminating former industrial sites, many of them in the Black Country.<\/p>\n

The funding is part of the WMCA\u2019s \u2018brownfield first\u2019 approach to help relieve pressure on the Green Belt.<\/p>\n

The West Midlands needs to build more than 215,000 new homes by 2031 to meet future housing demand and population growth.<\/p>\n

Mayor of the West Midlands, Andy Street, said: \u201cThis is a great example of how the WMCA is breathing new life into derelict, former industrial land<\/a> by clearing the way for new homes and businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur overarching goal is to use the money and the powers transferred to us from government to build a prosperous future by growing our economy in a way that benefits all our communities and gives everyone the opportunity for a decent job and an affordable home.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Lovell scheme will provide a mix of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom open market and affordable homes from Walsall based Registered Provider, WHG Housing Association.<\/p>\n

A total of 76 homes will be sold by Lovell, whilst a further 16 will be available on a shared ownership scheme called Home Reach from Heylo Housing. The other 59 homes will be managed by WHG on an affordable rental basis.<\/p>\n

Stuart Penn, Lovell\u2019s regional managing director, added: \u201cThis important development will transform this former industrial site as well as help tackle the pressing demand for new homes in the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to be able to deliver a scheme with such a variety of tenure which will really help local people get on the ladder and\/or into a high-quality new home from shared ownership to affordable rent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Construction work on the 8.5 acre site, to be named Saints Quarter, is due to commence in the summer.<\/p>\n
