About
A chance to redevelop underutilised land to improve Tamworth’s town centre.
Background:
For too long, the Gungate area has remained undeveloped, and therefore failing to contribute to the vitality and viability of the town centre. Tamworth Borough Council purchased this site from private developers in 2018 and has been working with the various landowners to consider how the wider area could be regenerated as a whole.
The opportunity:
The site is positioned for mixed use development which could include housing, retirement living, a leisure centre, workspace, medical services, evening leisure and multi-storey car parking.
The outline proposals for redevelopment were put to consultation early in 2021, setting out the broad principles for regeneration, taking into account factors such as market demand, any restrictions to development on the site and the design principles within which we need to operate.
The stats:
Location: Tamworth
Scale: 2.7 Hectares | £90m
Programme: 2021 - 2025
Planning status: Masterplan produced
