Your feedback is transforming Church Street
One of the first major projects in the Church Street Regeneration, the development of Sites A, B and C 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 approximately 450 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.
The regeneration of Sites A will also:
- Create new pedestrianised routes and high-quality green public spaces.
- Build new community facilities, including a new playground and library.
- Provide improved infrastructure for Church Street Market.
- Create new jobs, training opportunities, and shops for the local community.
- Introduce new cycle infrastructure, including cycle storage, enhanced cycling routes and 1,500 new cycle parking spaces, building on the council's Active Travel commitments .
In putting these plans together, we have listened carefully to you. In December 2022, the plans were backed by residents living in Sites A, B, and C—56% of residents voted, with
73.1% voting 'yes'. Sites A, B, and C got planning permission in December 2023.
The priority now is to start the regeneration of Site A. Some demolition has started with the demolition of some garage spaces. Also, in February 2024 Mount Anvil was appointed as our joint venture partner to build Site A. Mount Anvil will work with you and ourselves on ensuring Site A is successful.

What are the next stages of the programme?
Initial demolition has started on Site A with the demolition of garages spaces. The council is currently in the process of appointing a contractor for future phases of the demolition which is expected to happen in Spring/Summer 2024. As the first site to be built we will continue working with residents, businesses and members of the community to prepare for demolition work.

Another important aspect of progressing the redevelopment is the appointment of a joint venture partner. To build the new Site A we need the expertise of contractors and specialists specifically for the purpose of taking forward the development. A ‘joint venture’ approach means the council will work with a partner to deliver the regeneration, whilst ensuring residents’ interests are protected. The council is currently in the process of appointing a delivery partner.
