The approach unlocks and prioritises former industrial sites for new development ahead of green belt land, working in partnership with Walsall Council.Lovell Homes will offer 132 of the homes (of various sizes) for open market sale, with WHG taking on 120 properties.The project is expected to take five years to complete, with the first homes expected to be ready in October 2021.
