Placefirst had worked with the City of Wolverhampton Council and had undertaken an online public consultation before submission of the plan.

It also held discussions with the Canal and River Trust and West Midlands Combined Authority.

WSP is serving as a planning consultant.

Placefirst chief executive David Mawson said: “With having delivered major regeneration schemes in the north of England, we’re really excited that our first proposed development in the Midlands will be transformational for such a prominent heritage location.

“The vision for this Canalside development is more than new build homes, as our focus is on opening up the canal for public use and creating a thriving community in the heart of the city centre.

“We’ve worked closely with the local council and engaged the local community to propose what we feel will be a stunning waterside residential scheme that will unearth the true potential of this historic brownfield site, close to Wolverhampton’s newly opened transport interchange.”
