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.

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 currently unused grazing land. Part of the site is maintained and features cut grass fields. A small number of trees occupies the eastern part of the site. The site is boarded my public open space to the north and east and residential development to the west and south. A public right of way runs along the northern boundary of the site.
It is anticipated approximately 70 dwellings could be accommodated at a density of 35 dwellings per hectare. However, considering the shape of the site we consider a slightly lower dwelling figure would be more appropriate.
A public right of way run along the northern boundary of the site. We are not aware of any restrictive covenants, contamination, flood risk, tree preservation orders, historic buildings, protected species, ground instability or any other constraints that would prevent development of the site. As part of ongoing promotion of the site for development, supporting specialist documents will be produced as part of the evidence gathering and should any of the above arise, they will be mitigated for in connection to guidance received from the Council and specialist consultants.

The site also boarders an area of open space to the north. At approximately 2.05 hectares the site has the capacity to accommodate approximately 70 dwellings based on a density of 35 dwellings per hectare. However, considering the shape of the site we consider a lower density may be more appropriate. The site would be most suited to accommodating residential development including 2,3 and 4 bedroom two storey properties. Affordable housing would also be provided on site. We are not aware of constraints to the site, which would prevent development. Once allocated and permission granted we consider the site would be completed within 1 year providing residential development within a sustainable location on the edge of Brownhills local centre.
