A Vision for the AAP Area The consultation feedback and work we have done so far on the Core Strategy has enabled us to establish a Vision for the two Regeneration Corridors that fall within the AAP area (RC4 Wolverhampton – Bilston and RC5 Loxdale – Moxley). This Vision is important because it defines how the area will change and what it will be like by 2026. The detailed proposals to be contained in the AAP must contribute to delivering the AAP Vision. The Core Strategy Vision for the Bilston Corridor is that by 2026… •z Delivery will be achieved by making the area a major focus for partnershipled regeneration in Wolverhampton and securing long-term commitment, investment and marketing in order to overcome major constraints and deliver high quality development. The Core Strategy Publication Report sets out how this Vision should be achieved in terms of targets for new homes and employment land, and identification of associated service and infrastructure needs. A key role of the AAP is to deliver these targets. The key targets are: •z •z •z •z •z •z There will be major new residential areas on poor quality surplus industrial land clustered around Wolverhampton City Centre and Bilston Town Centre. This will be characterised by high quality design which protects and enhances historic character and local distinctiveness. New communities will be served by high quality networks of green infrastructure and residential services, focused on the Metro route and canal corridor, and a sustainable transport network. Retained employment land, concentrated in the centre of the Corridor, will serve local employment needs and also provide some high quality job opportunities. Loxdale employment area, to the east of Bilston Town Centre, will have fulfilled its potential to become a high quality industrial hub, through a programme of environmental and local access improvements, creating an improved image and attracting new investment. Housing renewal activity in adjoining deprived communities will have reinforced the new image and spread benefits. Residents will have good access to job and educational opportunities in Wolverhampton, Walsall and Birmingham. •z To deliver 2,100 dwellings at moderate densities (35-45 dwellings per hectare net) on 60 hectares of redundant employment land within Regeneration Corridor 4, in addition to 2,200 dwellings on housing commitment sites – together accommodating 10,000 new residents. •z To protect and improve 282 hectares of local and high quality employment land within Regeneration Corridors 4 & 5. •z To determine whether Springvale Industrial Estate, Barton Industrial Estate and Perry Trading Estate (21 ha) will be protected for employment or redeveloped for housing. •z To improve and attract further investment to Bilston Town Centre. •z To identify and provide the services and infrastructure necessary to serve new development and benefit existing communities. •z To ensure proposals take account of the historic character and local distinctiveness of the area. •z To demonstrate how development will be phased and delivered. 2) Does the Core Strategy Vision for the AAP area represent the type of area in which you would like to live / work?
