The 19th-century Bonded Warehouse and Engine House will be repurposed.
The development will offer 111,275ft² of offices, health and fitness facilities, a restaurant/café, and a regional sales centre for Wavensmere Homes.
The redevelopment will introduce extensive open spaces, including play areas and pocket parks while preserving the tree buffer to enhance the site’s biodiversity.

By GlobalDataA new multipurpose public realm and community space will be established near the Friar Gate Bridge, maintaining some of its original railway arch facades.
Improved access for vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists is planned around the 11.5-acre site, with connections to Uttoxeter New Road, Great Northern Way, and Friar Gate.
Glancy Nicholls Architects director Adam McPartland said: “The designs for the 227 two- and three-bedroom townhouses that will surround the two listed buildings are bespoke. Curved and terraced street scenes will celebrate the beauty and vista of the Bonded Warehouse, while incorporating a range of energy-saving technologies and strategies.
“A four-storey apartment building containing 49 apartments will also reinstate the lost streetscape of the Stafford Street frontage. The highest EPC [Energy Performance Certificate] rating of A is being targeted for the new homes, with all plots designed to be futureproofed ahead of the 2025 Future Homes Standard.”
Wavensmere Homes expects to commence construction in the coming months after the receipt of formal planning approval.
The redevelopment will incorporate low-carbon materials, modern construction methods, and renewable energy generation.
