Work on the first phase is expected to begin later this year with the entire development finished by 2030.Developers say the development will follow a detailed design code that reflects the aspirations for the wider site and the"distinct character" of the area, including the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site.
In addition to new homes, plans for the development include a retirement village, up to 200,000 square feet of employment space with offices and light industrial units, and a local centre offering convenience retail and other services. Site preparation works have included the installation of six great crested newt ponds, a bat barn and a 21 metre-tall nesting tower for peregrine falcons.Harworth has also maximised recycling of materials from the site, reclaiming around 35,000 tonnes of metal and 70,000 tonnes of crushed concrete for reuse in the development, with the remains of the site’s four cooling towers being used to construct new cycle and footpaths.
