Cannock Chase's newly adopted Local Plan sets a minimum of 5,808 homes for local need, with Farrier's Fold in Rugeley already under construction, delivering 58 homes built to the Future Homes Standard with heat pumps and solar panels. A separate Taylor Wimpey scheme proposes up to 400 homes east of Wimblebury Road in Heath Hayes, alongside a new relief road. Cannock town centre is also undergoing a Northern Gateway regeneration, with the former multi-storey car park and the Cabot building on Church Street due for demolition as part of a wider scheme first funded by the Levelling Up Fund. Away from these sites, established towns keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions.
