Regeneration of Royal Doulton site - 09/05/2008

Stoke-on-Trent City Council has given the green light to St Modwen for the regeneration of the historic former Royal Doulton site in Nile Street, Burslem, Stoke.

Planning approval was granted by the council's Development Control Committee for the creation of a Business Enterprise Centre and for residential development.

The proposals for the St Modwen-owned site, which have been the subject of extensive discussions with the City Council, include the retention of Royal Doulton¹s principal historic building at the Nile Street main entrance and the redevelopment of the remainder of the site.

The original building will be restored and the courtyard at the main entrance recreated with new buildings in a compatible style as a major Business Enterprise Centre aimed specifically at providing workspace for small and medium sized companies.

The existing building, together with the new Enterprise Centre buildings will provide a total of about 70,000 sq ft in three-storey buildings and it is anticipated that this will provide the home for more than 50 businesses.

The courtyard will be recreated with high quality landscaping, and visitor and employee car parking.

The remainder of the 11.5 acre site will be developed for housing in support of the regeneration of the Burslem Town Centre area. About 140 homes, very much aimed at family accommodation, are to be built.

One of the key elements of the scheme is a new public walkway and cycleway through the centre of the site from Nile Street to the Burslem Greenway at the rear and thereby connecting to Burslem Park. This will provide a much needed link between the green space and the town centre.
