The proposed neighborhood is the first of three sites being developed in collaboration with the Council to revitalize key areas of the town center. This initiative has secured over £35 million in funding from the Government’s Future High Street Fund and Town Deal Fund, aimed at rejuvenating essential urban spaces.Reports Contract Journal
John Moffat, joint managing director at Capital&Centric, said: “The challenge of building on brownfield land is you need to be bold and creative in your approach. Our radical plans for Midway are exactly that, and will bring forward much needed homes in a prime town centre spot.
“People thought we were mad when we said we wanted to create new homes from a car park but the plans show that it can work and it’s actually made for a more interesting and unique neighbourhood.”
Councillor Simon Tagg, Leader of Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council, stated: “The aging and outdated Midway will soon become redundant with the opening of the Castle car park. This exciting proposal not only prevents unnecessary demolition but also facilitates the development of new housing on a prominent brownfield site in the town center.”
“Castle car park will provide a clean, safe car park for the whole town centre. Along with the regeneration of the Ryecroft and York Place with homes, shops and open space, we are beginning to see the visible signs our multi-million regeneration.”
