Cornerstone development opportunity

A development opportunity in Bromsgrove town centre, earmarked for mixed retail, leisure and residential use, has been formally put up for sale by the district council.
 
In accordance with the council’s Town Centre Area Action Plan, land between Hanover Street, St John Street and Market Place has become the latest of the town centre regeneration partnership’s planned development sites to become available after the Health Centre on Stourbridge Road, the extra care village planned for Recreation Road, and the combined police and fire station planned for School Drive.
 
The latest opportunity includes land incorporating the car park and the building that currently forms the top of Bromsgrove High Street, George House. Unusually for larger town centre sites there is a single landowner, Bromsgrove District Council.
 
Bromsgrove District Council’s portfolio holder with responsibility for town centre regeneration Cllr Del Booth said: “Developers have shown serious interest in this site for some time because as a cornerstone of the town centre it is an attractive proposition.
 
“We are seeking a committed partner prepared to bring a high quality, appropriate development to Bromsgrove, to complement both the major upgrade to the High Street public realm and the townscape heritage project.”
 
The council has employed New Road-based JP Dillon, commercial property consultants, to market the site. For sale information please contact JP Dillon on 01527 872525 or info@jpdillon.co.uk.
