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.
