This is how £4.8 million scheme to build 34 new homes on site of former Dudley swimming baths will look
This is how a £4.8 million development to create 34 new homes on the site of a former Black Country swimming pool will look.
Birmingham-based The Construction Consultants (TCC) has released a computer-generated image of how the former Coseley Baths site in Peartree Lane will look when work is complete.
The company has been appointed to oversee work on the scheme.
The swimming pool was closed by Dudley Council in 2009, and demolished the following year, despite a 9,000-signature petition to save the building.
The site in Peartree Lane has lain empty since then, with previous plans to redevelop the site falling through due to the cost of work remediating the land.
But WV Living, a developer owned by neighbouring Wolverhampton Council, began work in May on a scheme to build a mix of two-, three-, and four-bedroom properties. It has now appointed TCC to oversee the management of the property.
TCC director Sandeep Sunner said the scheme would create an urban community, revitalising the brownfield site.
It is WV Living's first scheme outside Wolverhampton's city boundaries.
The work is being carried out by Willenhall-based contractor W13 Ltd.
Councillor Steve Evans, Wolverhampton Council's cabinet member for housing said: “As we expand our efforts to provide essential housing, we are proud to support Wolverhampton's comprehensive house-building programme.
"Venturing beyond our usual boundaries, we are dedicated to creating cherished new homes for the community.”
