Wavensmere Plans Wolverhampton Waterside Project
Wavensmere Homes has submitted a full planning application to City of Wolverhampton Council for the proposed £150m residential-led Canalside South development.
The 17.5-acre former industrial site is located within the city centre and benefits from frontage onto the Wyrley & Essington canal and the Wolverhampton branch of the Birmingham Main Line canal. Large windows and balconies will be specified to tke advantage of the views.
Over 530 high EPC-rated homes, seven acres of green space and a range of commercial amenities are proposed to regenerate the site, which has lain derelict for 15 years.
Architects
Designed by Glancy Nicholls Architects, the low-rise development plans emulate the surrounding conservation area and maximise the canalside setting.
Wavensmere Homes is proposing 378 two and three-bedroom townhouses, designed to target an EPC-A rated specification, together with 145 one and two-bedroom apartments. A building of 10 co-living units – each containing six bedrooms – is also proposed. The urban regeneration specialist has also submitted plans to redevelop and reanimate disused railway arches on the site into 1,338sq.m of lettable commercial space.
James Dickens, MD of Wavensmere Homes says: Our team has a strong history of regenerating vacant land in the Black Country and can confidently transform this site into a landmark development the whole region can be immensely proud of. 70% of our existing supply chain is local to the site, and the construction programme will create more than 100 jobs. We will continue to work alongside the council and all stakeholders as these plans are considered.”
We welcome this planning application from Wavensmere Homes for Canalside South, which is one of the largest city centre residential development opportunities in the Midlands. Redevelopment of this prime site would enable our residents to benefit from superb connectivity, amenities, and health and wellbeing opportunities at this wonderful heritage location.
More to come
Councillor Chris Burden says: “Wavensmere Homes proposes future-proofing the Canalside South site by installing electric only heating systems. A range of technologies will be utilised across the development, consisting of air source heat pumps, solar panels and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery. The development plans also feature EV charging to each house or parking space, alongside an array of EV chargers for visitors.
”The overall vision for the Wolverhampton Canalside masterplan is the delivery of around 1,000 homes to meet both the city and wider region’s housing needs, with sustainability and place-making at its heart.”
