Sandwell Council has granted planning approval for a significant redevelopment project in Tipton town centre, paving the way for 55 new homes.
The project will span the east and west sides of Union Street, transforming sites currently occupied by retail and residential units, along with two car parks.
Supported by £20 million from the government’s Levelling Up Fund, alongside matching funding from Sandwell Council, the scheme aims to replace 15 outdated flats and other derelict structures with new socially rented apartment blocks. This initiative will provide high-quality affordable housing while rejuvenating the area.
A report presented to Sandwell Council’s planning committee on 23 October stated, “The applicant proposes an appropriate reuse of land which would bring about great benefit by regenerating a part of Tipton town centre site with much-needed affordable housing.”
The planning committee has approved the scheme with conditions to ensure that any potential impact on local amenities is mitigated.
