Consultation on planned 140-home development
Lichfield Gateway LimitedA consultation has been launched on plans to build up to 140 homes in Lichfield City Centre.
The proposal would see the homes built on the former Tempest Ford garage at the junction of St John's Street and Birmingham Road.
The Lichfield Gateway scheme is currently in pre-application discussions with Lichfield District Council and Staffordshire County Council to discuss the details of the design, transport and drainage.
Residents are being asked to submit feedback on the plans before 3 April, ahead of a full application a later date.
It is hoped that the development will set the standard for the remaining parcels of land within the Birmingham Road site.
A spokesperson for the scheme said: "The Lichfield Gateway proposal provides the opportunity to sensitively develop an allocated site, formerly used as a garage and car showroom, and is the flagship first phase of the wider Birmingham Road Site Masterplan."
"The scheme benefits from an architect-led bespoke solution to the site, building on the Georgian architecture, which is prominent in Lichfield, whilst ensuring the development is also contemporary."
The scheme aims to redevelop the Birmingham Road site, opposite Lichfield City railway station, creating a distinctive gateway to the city.
