In addition to Site Area: (potential for additional 9.7ha adjacent land) The site is currently greenfield land on the urban fringe. There is no planning history to report.
We envisage the site could accommodate circa 120 dwellings including a provision of open space. The development would include 2, 3, 4 and 5 bedroom dwellings with an element of affordable housing. With the additional 9.7hectares of neighbouring land included, the site has the potential to accommodate circa 350 dwellings.
We are not aware of any constraints that would prevent development.

The site is located north east of Codsall Road on the edge of Wolverhampton adjacent to Palmers Cross. The site is identified by means of a redline boundary on the attached plan. The site is approximately 4.5 hectares however there is potential for an additional 9.7ha adjacent land to be included. The site is located within a sustainable location. The site is located adjacent to the urban residential area of Wolverhampton with easy access to facilities and services available in the Wolverhampton areas of Palmers Cross, Aldersley and Penderford and Codsall which is located within South Staffordshire district. Within 1 mile of the site there are at least 7 schools catering for primary and secondary education (up to age 18). There are other services such as doctors, dentists, opticians, public houses, places of worship, petrol stations and convenience good shops including several large supermarkets. The site is accessible with excellent transport links within close proximity. The site is 0.8 mile from Bilbrook train station from here trains to Wolverhampton city centre, Telford and Birmingham are available. All three destinations can be reached within 30 minutes. Within 300 metres both to the north and south of the site along Codsall Road there are bus stops providing access to frequent bus services to Codsall village centre and Wolverhampton City Centre. (Bus service 5 and 5A). The A41 and A449 are both within 2 miles of the site providing access to the motorway network. The excellent transport links facilitate the easy access to employment opportunities near the site. We consider the development will accommodate approximately 120 dwellings (with the opportunity for an additional circa 230 dwellings on adjacent land) that would consist of 2, 3, 4, and 5 bedroom dwellings. The scheme would include affordable housing in accordance with local policy. There is the potential for the development to include a range of house types to cater to all members of society. Areas of open space will be important part of the scheme to ensure separation of Wolverhampton and Bilbrook/Codsall with the opportunity to provide a country park between the two settlements. The development would be designed to take into consideration the character of the surrounding area. We are unaware of any constraints that would prevent residential development on the site.

The site is currently unused brownfield land. A planning application for a proposed HGV trailer parking with ancillary site security office and landscaping was refused in 2012. The site had previously been a quarry for mineral works.
12 hectares of employment land could be accommodated on the site.
The site was previously used as a quarry by Tarmac Limited for extraction of sand and gravel. On the termination of quarrying activity, the site underwent restoration in accordance with a restoration scheme agreed between Tarmac and the County Council in 2004. The site is bordered by Hilton Main Industrial Estate to the west and within close proximity of Hilton Cross Business Park, both of which have the opportunity to be noisy due to the business uses which are allowed to take place on site. We are unaware of any of the above which affect the land and would prevent employment related development taking place.
N/A
There are no current uses that require relocation from the site.
Internal access arrangements will be required including roads and pavements but this will form part of the scheme as a whole on site. It is likely that there would be an area of open space on site as part of the landscaping scheme. We do not consider there will be the requirement for any infrastructure changes off site.
In most recent years, planning permission was refused in 2011 for the use of part of the site for HGV trailer parking with ancillary site security office and landscaping. Prior to this, the planning history for the site is as follows: 1978 - Sand and gravel working and processing at Windmill Quarry (Ref: SS/404/74) Granted subject to conditions. 1988 – Extension to sand and gravel working at Windmill Quarry (Ref: SS.436/86) Granted subject to conditions. 1991 – Erection of screening plant, conveyors and storage of aggregates at Windmill Quarry Granted subject to conditions. 1991 - Extension of the existing Tarmac block works into Windmill Quarry to create ash processing site. The site area was 1.6 hectares (4 acres) (Ref No SS204/91). Granted subject to conditions. 1998 – Extension of existing mineral workings together with the variation of condition 26 of planning permission SS/404/74 to facilitate the removal of trees from the Mill Ride area at Windmill Quarry. Granted subject to conditions. 2001 - Extension to the existing ash processing operation and the provision of a concrete recycling facility. The site area was an additional 1.0 hectare (2.47 acres). ( Ref No SS/01/0661). Granted subject to conditions. 2002 – Variation of conditions 3 and 4 of planning permission SS.01/00661. Granted subject to conditions.
The site is being marketed by First City Limited for development.

No it is not envisaged that there will be viability issues that will require the use of external funding.
We consider the site would be ideal for employment related development. The site is 23 hectares (57.7 acres) and is located within a sustainable location. The site is identified by means of a redline boundary on the attached plan. The site is located at Junction 1 of the M54 motorway on the edge of Westcroft, Wolverhampton. The site is in close proximity to the M6 also providing excellent transport links and connectivity. The site is bordered by Hilton Main Industrial Estate to the west and within close proximity of Hilton Cross Business Park, the I54 is within 2 miles of the site. This site would make an obvious and ideal extension providing 23 hectares of additional employment land in an area which is in high demand. The site lies within the M54 Technology corridor. The site would well serve the needs of both Wolverhampton and the wider Black Country and South Staffordshire in a positive cross boundary development. The site is sustainable with access to services and facilities in surrounding areas of Featherstone, Essington, Fordhouses, Bushbury and Westcroft. We consider the site could be used for B1, B2 and B8 uses and is in an area which would not result in any negative impacts on any surrounding land uses. We envisage the development would be built within 5 years and could range from brick built office buildings to industrial units built at various sizes immediately available to rent, there would also be an option for some units to be ‘design and build’, built to meet the specific needs of the occupier. As part of the development landscaping would be an important element with planting throughout the site, where appropriate to ensure an attractive development is achieved.

The site is located north of Blackhalve Lane and to the east of Wood Hayes Road in Wednesfield, Wolverhampton. The site is identified by means of a redline boundary on the attached plan. The site is approximately 4.9 hectares and triangular in shape. The site straddles the boundary of Wolverhampton and South Staffordshire District and therefore located within both administrative areas. The site is located within a sustainable location. The site is located adjacent to the urban residential area of Wolverhampton with easy access to facilities and services available in the Wolverhampton areas of Wednesfield, Bushbury and Ashmore Park. The South Staffordshire district villages of Essington and Featherstone are within 1.5 miles of the site. Within 1 mile of the site there are approximately 18 schools catering for nursery primary and secondary education (up to age 18). There are other services within one mile of the site such as doctors, dentists, opticians, public houses, places of worship, petrol stations and convenience good shops. The site is accessible with excellent transport links within close proximity. Bus stops ae located to the North West and south west of the site providing access to frequent bus services to Wolverhampton City Centre and Cannock town centre via Cheslyn Hay and Featherstone. (Bus service 70 and 70E). The A460 is within 300 metres of the site providing access to the motorway network (junction 1 of the M54 is 1.5 miles of the site. The excellent transport links facilitate easy access to employment opportunities near the site. Hilton Main Industrial Estate and Hilton Cross Business Park are within 1.2 miles of the site and the I54 at junction 2 of the M54 is within 3 miles from the site. We consider the development will accommodate approximately 140 dwellings that would consist of 2, 3, 4, and 5 bedroom dwellings. The scheme would include affordable housing in accordance with local policy. There is the potential for the development to include a range of house types to cater to all members of society. Areas of public open space and soft landscaping will feature as part of the development scheme. Areas of open space will be an important part of the scheme. The development would be designed to take into consideration the character of the surrounding area. We are unaware of any constraints that would prevent residential development on the site.

TO BE ESTABLISHED BY MASTERPLANNIUNG BUT THE POTENTIAL FOR APPROXIMATELY 8HA OF EMPLOYMEMNT LAND ON LAND CONTROLLED BY MINTWORTH TRANSPORT
separate technical reports are all publically available and demonstrated the suitability of development for residential purposes in 2009 and the further renewal application.
No – the site is previously developed land.
The employment uses at the site entrance would be retained and access for new commercial Land would come direct off the existing access on Coneygre Road.
Following securing planning permission at appeal in 2009 for 300 dwellings and a subsequent renewal application, the landowner has marketed the site, via professional agents to numerous housebuilders. Due to the cost of addressing the prevailing ground conditions and existing mines under the site along with its market location, no housebuilder/developer has taken the site forward. Some interest has been provided from the development sector for commercial uses on the site, which the landowner advises will not require the same extent and costs associated with securing suitable and deliverable land platforms for B Class employment land. For this reason Mintworth Transport would welcome the opportunity of having discussions with the Local Planning Authority over the potential for an employment allocation on the land.
DC/08/49278
Subject to further dialogue with commercial land developers.
Site has been marketed for several years for residential development. This has not lead to any viable proposals coming forward.

The site comprises brownfield previously developed land. The site comprises a factory with offices and associated rough unused ground to the north and rough undulating scrub land to the south, including Wards Pool and part of the Wards Pool SINC. The site was granted full permission on 23/08/2008 under reference 08/0394/FUL for the “Demolition of existing buildings and erection of 304 houses and apartments, revised access, amenity areas, parking and associated works (Resubmission of 07/2465/FL/W2). This planning permission has been implemented, albeit no dwellings have yet been constructed, and remains extant.
Planning permission (ref. 08/0394/FUL) was granted for 304 houses and apartments. However, should an alternative, lower density, scheme be progressed and based on a net developable area of 5ha, it is considered that the site is cable of accommodating c. 150-200 dwellings.
An existing public footpath (Bridle Path 1 Darlaston) is currently routed form Heathfield Lane West across the site to the Black Country New Road via the footbridge over the Walsall Canal. There is an historic mine shaft located to the north of the existing factory building. The existing factory building will be demolished as part of any redevelopment proposal. There is also known contamination, associated with the historic industrial use of this site, within the northern part of the site. Remediation has taken place in the southern end of the site, around Wards Pool. Wards Pool is a Site of Nature Conservation (SINC) and is located to the southern part of the site. There is also a SLINC (canal) along the western boundary of the site. A small part of the south western corner of the site is within Flood Zone 2. Overhead high voltage electricity cables cross along the western boundary of the site, parallel to the canal. Two pylons are located within the site, one close to Herberts Park Road and the second just south of the factory buildings, adjoining the existing offsite Gas Valve Compound. Existing underground utilities also cross the central area of the site from east to west.

The site is identified as undifferentiated Grade 3 land on the Provisional ALC map, however these maps aren’t suitable for establishing the quality of individual sites. The National Soil Map shows the soils on this site as Clifton association, which are developed on reddish till and are slowly permeable reddish fine and coarse loamy soils. This is the dominant soil association to the north and west of Wolverhampton and therefore the agricultural land classification of this site will be reflective of all reasonable alternative sites on the edge of the MUA around Wolverhampton. Further survey work will be undertaken as necessary in due course.

Initial illustrative masterplan is appended for information. This illustrative scheme supports the delivery of approximately 2,500 homes, 3ha of land for the provision of new services/facilities including a new primary school and neighbourhood centre and a network of greenspaces which could include a wide range of open space typologies including children’s play and a network of new footpaths and cycleways.

The site is located close to an existing railway line and therefore could be subject to noise emanating from this. Likewise, the Sweetpool nature area is located in close proximity to the site. Notwithstanding these potential constraints, we consider that development could be adequately mitigated to take account of these.
The site is currently subject to a short term grazing license, which can be terminated when the site is required.
Connections can be made to existing networks Other Section 106 contribution to social and community infrastructure. Hagley is already well served with a range of existing facilities and infrastructure which make it suitable to accommodate further new residential development. The site will form a logical extension to Hagley and will use existing infrastructure in the settlements.
No – No relevant planning applications
The site is being promoted by a housebuilder and will be developed when planning permission is secured.

The site is a greenfield site and as such we are not aware of any constraints to development at this stage.
The site represents a logical extension to existing housing development in Hagley. Hagley is highly sustainable settlement, with existing primary and secondary schools, along with a train station, that is well related to the Black Country and, therefore, well placed to receive a proportion of the current housing requirement in the BCCS. The following questions ask what you think the site could potentially be used for, what services are available and any related constraints on the site.

Viability is being assessed.
Development of this brownfield site would significantly improve the local environment by removing highly obtrusive factory buildings. The site does not possess the characteristics of a High Quality Employment site and should be considered for residential development. It would positively contribute to the supply of, and ongoing need for, housing within the City. The site has good access to a range of local facilities and employment opportunities and is well served by public transport.
